Certain environments could also be dangerous for regeneration, with the [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] and [[Eighth Doctor]]s going to great lengths to avoid dying in space. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Imperial Moon (novel)|Imperial Moon]]'', ''[[The Taking of Planet 5 (novel)|The Taking of Planet 5]]'') [[Malika]] believed that her regenerative processes would simply not activate in the vacuum of space, as her new incarnation would simply die all over again, rendering the process futile. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Omega (comic story)|Omega]]'') The Eighth Doctor instead recalled horror stories of Time Lords regenerating in such an environment, burning themselves out as their new bodies became increasingly twisted trying to "evolve" into something that could cope in a vacuum. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Taking of Planet 5 (novel)|The Taking of Planet 5]]'') However, safe regeneration from exposure to a vacuum was possible if the subject was returned to an oxygenated environment before the process initiated, with one Time Lord regenerating normally after being cast adrift in space before the War Doctor materialised his TARDIS around him and left him to regenerate in the ship's [[Zero Room]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'') The Fifth Doctor once noted that the important thing in regeneration was that the brain remained intact, with [[Patience (The Tides of Time)|an early Gallifreyan]] being killed for good when she was shot in the brain at close range with a [[26th century]] weapon.
