Oh, better stay that way. Not very convenient to try and build/acquire one, now that the Doctor knows where duo lives. He has little mercy for unauthorized use of time-travel. Which brings me to my question; Do certain aspects of the 'Whoniverse' have a place in the w00tniverse? Hammerfield generators make an appearance in both, anything else?

Which brings me to my question; Do certain aspects of the 'Whoniverse' have a place in the w00tniverse? Hammerfield generators make an appearance in both, anything else? I'm not sure if the Dr. Who comics are even canon. The only reason that I don't want there to be any time travel by way of technology in the w00tniverse is because of all the paradoxes and headaches that come with time travel. I hate time travel because of it (and yet, back to the future is among my favorite movies...). The only way time travel exists is through divine intervention. So, the author, basically. I'm pretty sure that there are crossovers between technologies, but only with Duo, and only because the kinds of technology he creates are so much more advanced than everyone else. I'm sure that sonic technology is readily available, however, if you were so inclined. though, in my personal opinion, I'm convinced that the Doctor's famed Sonic Screwdriver isn't really a marvel of technology, and is instead just a focus for his psychic abilities.

I think the manipulation of the sonic technology in the screwdriver is an extension of his psychic abilities. In fact, I think it's necessary, however, I think an understanding of the physics of the universe of the degree demonstrated by the screwdriver would take god-like intellect and power rather than just an understanding of the technology involved. Plus, other people rather than just Time Lords (a race that could be interpreted as having a god-like understanding of the universe by their look into eternity) have used the sonic technology such as a nursery race and a plain ole vanilla human.
On another line of inquiry, whatever happened to this rp? I would totally be in on it because I have finally stopped doing disaster relief and have constant internet access.
