Could the vex fight the great old ones? The Quantum Mnemonic has altered the laws of the space-time continuum: [quote]He shook his head. The mnemonic had well and truly altered the local properties of the space-time continuum, and the rational part of his mind wondered how stable it all was. The way things were currently going, it wouldn't have surprised him if the whole lot collapsed on top of him – in a metaphysical sense, of course – and then it would take a lot more than a respiratory bypass system to save him.[/quote] This is Quantum Mnemonics, the Old Ones' primary power, described as such is Millennial Rites. With only a few words, they can create and destroy universes and warp them to their will: [quote]The most powerful tool developed by the Time Lords was block transfer computation, the ultimate expression of mathematics. With it, one could manipulate matter and energy, time and space, and fold dimensions like so much origami. It was the fundamental basis of the TARDIS technology that surrounded him, and had even been harnessed to bleed off excess entropy from the universe, extending its lifespan by incalculable aeons. Quantum mnemonics, the dark science of an earlier race of Time Lords, made block transfer computation seem like a conjuring trick. With just a few words, a practitioner of their great art could grasp the basic nature of reality around the throat and shake it into a new configuration. A bon mot of quantum mnemonics could bring about a premature death, or a run of good luck. A sentence could transform a planet's history and destiny, changing a world of barbaric war into an elysium. And a carefully constructed paragraph could rewrite the entire universe. Or destroy it utterly.[/quote] Fenric sees universes as specks of dust that exist for a millionth of a second. [quote]Fenric: I told you, we are in hell. Your future, your present, your past, your time is meaningless, Time Lord. Look out of my keep and you will see in the sky red, red, because the stars in the newborn sky are so close together that there is neither day or night. Doctor: What do you mean, newborn? How far back are we? Fenric: To me, Doctor, your universe is less than a millionth of a second old. In the blink of my undying eye it will be the burst bubble. All of your future, all of your past, the whole of your reality, we Elder Gods perceive it as no more than you perceive a single speck of dust. To us your everything is nothing. There is nothing here… but us. [/quote]
