The Master (Scream of the Shalka): Difference between revisions
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Removing the reference to DWatTW being the Shalka Master's eventual fate. RTD has been explicit about Shalka not being in continuity with his work and moreover DWatTW stars the Eighth Doctor. These events happened prior (and potentially parallel) to his creation, not his death. I like the canon welding, but it's welding.

According to | According to one account, the Master's mind was eventually ripped out of the TARDIS by the [[Time Lord]]s so that they could {{Jacobi|n=resurrect him}}, a process which left the TARDIS console damaged. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'') | ||
According to other accounts, however, the Master escaped the Doctor's TARDIS with an established corporeal form some time later. Eventually, the Master and the [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|Ninth Doctor]] crossed paths in the flesh. The Master aided the Doctor in repelling the alien foe responsible for invading [[Gallifrey]] and the death of the Doctor's previous companion. It was during this encounter that the Master was left damaged and without a suitable body. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who - The Ninth Doctor (short story)|Doctor Who - The Ninth Doctor]]'') However, according to [[Boy (Heaven Sent)|one Time Lord historian]], some had at least speculated that the Doctor had simply built the android body for the Master as a result of his death falling through the Eye of Harmony. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'') | |||
At any rate, in return for his aid, the Doctor offered to transfer the Master's mental resources into an [[android]] body, the appearance of which the Master could personally select. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Scream of the Shalka (novelisation)|Scream of the Shalka]]'') The Master accepted, though he would later remark this was a foolish choice. ([[WC]]: ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'') While this body granted him corporeal form, he was limited to the confines of the Doctor's TARDIS as his android body was purposely designed to never be able to leave the ship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Feast of the Stone (short story)|The Feast of the Stone]]'') In his new home, the Master served as the TARDIS Defence System. ([[WC]]: ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'') Now bound to travel with the Doctor, the pair was sent to work for the Doctor's unseen superiors to solve the dangerous problems that plagued the universe.

However, according to other accounts, the version of the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s future where he became the [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|pale-faced gentleman]] was a different future from the one that ultimately led to the [[Ninth Doctor|Northern chap with big ears]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]'') even if these two [[The Doctor's ninth incarnation|Ninth Doctors]] and [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|a third one]] were equally real. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'') Accounts dealing with the [[Last Great Time War]] further depicted the Master's resurrection by the Time Lords in starkly different circumstances, with the fair-haired [[War Master]] resembling the android not even being the body he was first resurrected in. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Day of the Master (audio story)|Day of the Master]]'') There existed some degree of uncertainty among post-War Time Lord historians as to precisely when in his timeline the Time Lords had resurrected the Master, with some going as far as to suggest that they had simply plucked him from the moment he had fallen into the Eye of Harmony, skipping over any later developments altogether.
