Angel Bob: Difference between revisions

[[Father Octavian]] and a team of Clerics arrived at the crash site to track down the Angel. To explain what they were up against, Song showed the looped recording of the Angel to the Doctor, Octavian and [[Amy Pond]]. While the others left the pod they were in, Amy remained alone with the recording in its constant loop. However, unbeknownst to the expedition, any image of a Weeping Angel ultimately ''becomes'' a Weeping Angel. The image in the recording soon came to life and deadlocked the doors of the pod, trapping Amy within. The Angel was able to project itself beyond the image and was able to become a projection in the room, until Amy was able to exploit a glitch in the recording to turn off the projection of the image when it was close to making contact with her. She had however stared into the eyes of the projection, opening her 'soul' to it. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'') This produced an image of an Angel in the visual centre of Amy's mind, opening her up to manipulation by the Angels (such as hallucinations) and death as the image of the Angel within her would ultimately become a real Angel. ([[DW]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'')

The Angel escaped the vault of the ''Byzantium'' and went through the Maze of the Dead. When the Clerics [[Christian (The Time of Angels)|Christian]] and [[Angelo (The Time of Angels)|Angelo]] were sent to investigate the further catacombs the Angel killed them by breaking their necks. It then took their central nervous systems and reanimated their consciousness temporarily to lure others to their deaths. It used the same procedure with the Cleric [[Bob (The Time of Angels)|Bob]] on a more long-term basis, to communicate with the Doctor, Amy, River and the remaining Clerics.

The Angel continued to use Bob's remains to relay its messages to the Doctor, who therefore began to call it "Angel Bob". It tried to anger him by having Bob tell him how his words of encouragement to the soldier had been lies. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'') When the Doctor and the Clerics were surrounded near the ''Byzantium'''s oxygen factory, Bob commented how the Angels were amused at the Doctor not seeing the [[The Cracks|crack in time]] they could see. Angel Bob later informed the Doctor in the oxygen factory how the Angels' manipulation of Amy was just for fun, making him throw away his communication device in anger.

As the crack expanded the Angels ran away, and Angel Bob reappeared in person after the Doctor, River and Amy were cornered in the ''Byzantium'''s control room. He attempted to coerce the Doctor into throwing himself into the crack in order to seal it, saving the Angels and his friends. As the last of the ship's energy was taken by the Angels, the gravity field failed. Angel Bob and the rest of the Weeping Angels on board fell into the crack, sealing it and were subsequently erased from existence. ([[DW]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'')
