I was wondering about ship to ship weapons, ie phasers, turbolasers, and torpedos.

well since it contains a level of shielding nessearry to protect it from it's own singularity, a Tardis only has "Sufficiantly Advanced" shielding. EG it's very hard to hurt the old gal.

PeZook has a point, if we suddenly found a copy of one of Aeschylus' missing plays with discrepancies between it and a few of the fragments we have, people are more likely to start asking how many versions there were then to just dismiss the new discovery as a fraud.

Doubly so for any of the epic cycle.

I go to the marvel universe in november 1963, and replace Owen Reece on the day he became the molecule man. Invested with that power I then go and collect cosmic cubes.

After that I go gather the infinity gems, and become the supreme being.

Then I have some fun, I go to the DC universe and exterminate the Oan because I never liked them, I find Lobo and help him kick superman's ass. I make it so Bruce Wayne becomes poor and destitute and make him work as a cook at a wattaburger.

I visit the star-trek universe and kick the living shit out of Q in the first episode of the new generation, and depower the whole continuum.

I go to the Star gate universe and give earth 5 orbiting death star II, along with 2000 star destroyers and a dozen executor ships just to round it up, then I make the entire ori and Goa'uld fleet and forces appear in the solar system with all escape cut off, they have to face the human armada. Good luck to them.

I go to the dune universe, and give Omnius a new programing, making him the benefactor of the humans from the get go, before the Jihad.

My next stop is the Babylon 5 universe, I wipe out the Vorlons, and the shadows before they awaken. I give to John Sheridan a fleet of 500 Excalibur, and tell him to keep the peace.

Then I visit the 30k universe, tell the emperor as he finds Horus that he needs to keep a closer eye on his son, that he needs to use those nice hyperdrive engines I got him from the star wars universe, and stop fucking with the warp. I kill Erebus and Kor Phaeron as they are obviously not good influance on Lorgar, I depower the 4 chaos god, and tell the Emperor to prepare for the coming of the tyranids and the necron.

After that I go visit Terminator universe, after Skynet nukes everything I give John Connor a million ED-209 with ample ammos and supplies, and let him duke it out with those terminators.

So I next go to ...

Exactly. Which brings up a good point... While I, in my own attempts at re-writting history (or a history on a nearly identical Earth) have tried to avoid screwing over one universe for another... This might be a place to change that.
The idea of just STEALING Everything actually appeals to me more and more.
Surely the TARDIS has some form of "TRANSMAT" ? I know the Doctor Hates it, but it may still have it?

The idea of stopping in shortly before it's destruction and simply spiriting away the scrolls to a massive warehouse is simple and easy, and best of all involves no Timey Wimey stuff.

A way to cement the mystery, and hint that the scrolls were NOT simply destroyed, would be to "Sprinkle" scrolls at different Tombs and historical dig sites in the area. Go back and find various digs which happened after the Library was destroyed, and slip in a scroll at the appropriate time period, and then wait for history to do the rest.

You could even leave behind clues along the lines of "This scroll was stolen from the great treasure house of (text mysteriously missing) where it is said even more are kept!"

Word spreads that the great Library may have been saved, and by the mid 20th Century it will be "Re-Discovered" in it's entirety.

I don't think the TARDIS has a transmat, but with the ability to travel to alternate/fictional universes it shouldn't be much of a problem to acquire one or other similar tech (teleporters, transporters, Stargate Rings, etc.)

Personally I'd go to the Star Wars universe and copy the Millenium Falcon probably just after its rebuild and wookie refit in the Black Fleet trilogy. I'd have to find some form of copying device first since convincing Han to part with it without the ability to play sabacc would be rather difficult.

I'd then see if it could convince the Tardis to become part of my Falcon and use the falcon as my dimension jumping home as I bound about time and Space.


Definitely go back in time and journey on the Olympic, the QE/QM, QE2, QM2. Possibly go and find a parallel earth where the Titanic and Britannic didn't sink and sail on them too.

See Bob Marley, The Sex Pistols, The Clash etc... live, probably go and see the original trilogy in the cinema as well.

TARDIS' in general don't have weaponry and the Doctor's certainly won't. However, it has several tools that will allow you to have all the offensive power you'd ever want. Consider it has the ability to generate forcefields that can grab a planet and tow it through space at FTL without causing any untowards effects. Now use that same forcefield to literally crush your enemies as it is strong enough to resist a blackhole's gravitational fields. That's just for starters. Seriously, it's a TARDIS, you're gonna be OK in most fights you're liable to get into while traipsing across multiple fictional universes.

You realize even in the Marvel universe you're hardly anyone's definition of a Supreme Being with that power setup, right? The Living Tribunal could strip you of your power in an instant and certainly has shown that he's willing and able to do so for the Infinity gems. Given your projected list of activities it wouldn't be hard to lobby a case against you.

Hence why I don't do major fuck ups, I do know the Living Tribunal could strip me of it. Thats why I keep my meddling to low level shit.

I'd have said go replace Thanos when he got the heart of the universe, but I kinda didn't like the End.

Just with the power of the molecule man, with a bunch of cosmic cubes, I could probably do everything I said on the list. Instead of gathering all the gems to make the infinity gauntlet, I could simply use 5 of the 6 to give me extraordinary power boost. Leave the space gems to the Living tribunal since I already have the tardis to move around.

Then again, if the one above all doesn't like me screwing things up, I'm done for, as he'll sick the Living Tribunal at me.

I'd record a copy of the Star Wars movies and translate them into an Empire friendly format. And than drop the recording device discretely into the emperors chair when he ain't looking. Just to see what happens.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Go a step further -
Take Anakin to a high tech universe where they can replace his arms and legs and damaged organs with real ones, and see what happens :)

Ok... All Silliness aside, I actually have a legitimate question.
Ok so we get a TARDIS, does this actually make us "Timelords" ?

I ask because my "MASTERPLAN" would be rather hindered if I was forced to live a normal Human lifespan.
Being able to live for several hundred years is rather important for what I plan to do in terms of changing history.

I suggested one thing, highly impractical, but for the far more practical...

piles all of my stiff into TARDIS, rents a real hole in the wall and show up well rested for work every morning....

Almost all the realities at your fingertips and you're worried about lifespan? There are many ways in fiction to extend your time on this mortal coil, and some of them don't even have severe drawbacks. Just taking a page from mythology, you could pluck a Golden Apple and eat it - with the TARDIS, such a task would actually be trivial.

Or you could go the way of undeath and turn into a lich or something, but I'm assuming you don't wish to be a moving corpse or a maddened monster.

Golden Apple? Aim a little higher.

Go into the HercXenaverse, and swipe some Ambrosia. Tad-da, you're a Deity.

You're immortal, have superhuman strength, can not feel pain my mortal means, can teleport, turn invisible (inclusive or selectively), throw fireballs, lighting bolts, possess telekinetic powers, heal injuries and the sick, bring people back to life, and can even time travel.

Silliness has a place. No you aren't made a timelord. You just get the TARDIS, flying lessons, sonic screwdriver and psychic paper. But as others have said, any medical or other life-extending technology or magic is available to you if you can only buy, trade, steal or otherwise acquire it.

It was an example, and I was trying to make a solid point that didn't rely on mere adaptations of myths that have been around forever. :P

True.

But if you're going to 'power yourself up', you should do it in a way that minimizes outside personal risk to you.

For example, I recall an episode of 'Lois and Clark, the New Adventures of SUperman', where there was a machine built that let someone copy Superman's powers.

Eat Ambrosia, go there, and then zap yourself with that as well.

In that case, why not simply get genies to grant you wishes? Even if you get your three wishes from Genie of Disney's Aladdin fame*, and adhere to his rules**, you can set yourself up real damn nice. All it takes is some thought and creativity.

*Before the events of the movie, of course.

**Can't kill anyone, can't raise anyone from the dead, can't make someone fall in love with you.
