The first use of the phrase "artron energy" in the [[BBC Wales]] production era of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and its spin off | The first use of the phrase "artron energy" in the [[BBC Wales]] production era of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'' and its televised spin-off series was in the 2007 ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' story ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'', in which Mrs [[Wormwood (Invasion of the Bane)|Wormwood]] identifies it as background radiation and "the result of travels through the [[Time vortex|space-time vortex]]." Though not directly referred to as artron energy, the 2006 ''Doctor Who'' TV story ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' has [[Rose Tyler]] mention the Daleks evolved during [[the Time War]] to use an undisclosed background radiation — which is soaked up "when you travel in time in the TARDIS" — as a power supply. She linked it to why the Dalek "[[Metaltron]]" that appeared in the 2005 ''Doctor Who'' story ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' healed itself when Rose — a time traveller — touched its casing. Within ''Dalek'' itself, the Metaltron simply said that "Extrapolating the biomass of a time traveller regenerated me," with little further clarification. Also in ''Doomsday'', the [[Genesis Ark]] prison ship is described as Time Lord science that needs the touch of a time traveller to wake up. | ||
In the 2008 ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' | In the 2008 ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]'' television story ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'', [[Plummer]] says the [[lymphocyte]]s and "God knows what other cells" in [[Martha Jones]]'s body have mutated. According to Professor [[Aaron Copley]], this is the result of a kind of radiation (not named in the story) which is not found on temporally stable environments on Earth, which gives Martha a "uniquely effective" [[immune system]]. | ||

A group of humans who were accompanied by [[British Army|the army]] were imbued with artron energy after being sent back in time from the [[21st century]] to [[fairground (The Crash of the Elysium)|a fairground]] in [[1888]] by [[Weeping Angel]]s. A friend of [[the Doctor]], [[Dolly (The Crash of the Elysium)|Dolly]], told them that they could reunite [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with the [[Eleventh Doctor]] (as they had also been separated by Weeping Angels). The group located the TARDIS, charged the TARDIS key that the Doctor had left them with the artron energy, and it dematerialised. | |||
Later, when the group returned to the ''[[Elysium (spaceship)|Elysium]]'', the Weeping Angels began advancing on them so they used the artron energy to power the spaceship's [[Christofi Warp Drive]], which merged the Angels into the walls.
