( TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Moment interface recalled that there were no Daleks in her day. When attempting to initialise it, the War Doctor expressed unfamiliarity with the Moment's controls and operating system. It had an operating system so sophisticated, so advanced that it had become sentient and developed a conscience (hence why it was never used, as the Time Lords feared its moral judgement). ( PROSE: Pandoric's Box)Īccording to the Eleventh General, the Moment was the final creation of the Ancients of Gallifrey. He then placed the device in the Omega Arsenal for safe keeping. The device gave Rassilon a brief encounter with his future selves before he activated it and destroyed all the Nestenes in the Illia galaxy. When it was activated by Rassilon, the interface took the form of the War Doctor, calling itself Pandoric in reference to the Pandorica. The new device, the Moment, was given a sentient interface, and an ornate surface of brass and wood (unlike the Eye of Discord's coldly functional, prosaic appearance). Rassilon later employed Roppen to redesign the device to be deployed against the Nestenes. However, Roppen dismantled the device, erased all records of it and went into hiding. The Time Lord scientist Roppen first created the Eye of Discord, taking the retrogressive solicitation technique used in early TARDISes and applying it instead to the forces controlling the Eye of Harmony. The Moment could also change appearance from a box full of gears to a box looking station with a big blood red ruby button on a stalk, with a base similar to the shape of a rose petal. However, when trying to tell the past and future apart, the Moment tended to get the two mixed up. As it was a Time Lord construct, it was not limited to a linear grasp of time and space - it could select the forms of people from an individual's future they had yet to meet. The interface also had the capacity to take the forms of others, such as Rose Tyler, as a holographic projection.
It also had a sentient interface with telepathic abilities, enabling it to read the thoughts and memories of those who intended to use it. This ability could also circumvent time locks, which normally prevented people from travelling to important eras of time that were otherwise sealed off. The Moment was capable of destroying Gallifrey, the Daleks, and whole galaxies within a single moment, hence its given name.Īdditionally, the Moment was able to create tears in the fabric of creation called time fissures that would allow people and objects to pass from one time period to another, possessing a trans- dimensional awareness of the past and future.
