User:Cousin Ettolrhc/Sandbox/The Doctor's TARDIS console room (Rose)

At some point during or after the Last Great Time War, the The Doctor's TARDIS console room was redesigned to have appear more "organic". The Ninth Doctor was apparently this interior's first user (TV: Rose), with the Tenth Doctor inheriting it (TV: The Parting of the Ways), and the Eleventh Doctor dismissing it as a "grunge phase" (TV: The Day of the Doctor) he had grown out out. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

Desciption
The console room consisted of a circular area, with a red-tiled ramp leading from the doors to a hexagonal platform. On the platform was a second, circular platform. There was also a set of jump seats situated on the other side of the platform, but were occasionally moved. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen) The control room had a doorway to a spiral staircase that led to the TARDIS laundry room and wardrobe. (COMIC: Laundro-Room of Doom)

The Doctor and companions would recline in the jump seats frequently. The entire room was supported by six coral pillars arranged in a hexagonal pattern that met with the top of the time rotor at the room's ceiling. There were also several black wires connecting to the time rotor. Under the main platform were storage areas large enough for the Doctor to enter himself to retrieve items, (TV: Army of Ghosts) though some were packed to just below the top. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp) It was also dim, illuminated by the glow of green or cyan light from the time rotor column in the centre of the room and the lights in the hexagons on the walls. (TV: Rose - Army of Ghosts) However, the glow was later made less noticeable as the Doctor used the other lights. (TV: Doomsday - The End of Time)

Transformation into the paradox machine
After stealing the TARDIS, the Saxon Master transformed it into a paradox machine, performing modifications to the control room. The room was illuminated in red and the console was enclosed inside a metal cage, with tubes and appendages attached to it including a pipe at its base connecting to another area of the TARDIS, with a dial showing a readout of the pressure build-up inside. Jets of steam came off the console whilst the paradox machine activated. (TV: The Sound of Drums) Jack Harkness destroyed the machine by shooting the console, causing the control room to ignite. The Doctor subsequently repaired the TARDIS, returning the interior to normal. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) During his repairs however he left the shields down, resulting in the TARDIS colliding with the Titanic, the front of which broke through a wall into the control room. The Doctor was able to quickly repair the wall. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)

Destruction
The console room was set on fire and at least one column destroyed by the Tenth Doctor's regeneration into his eleventh incarnation. Much of the wiring in the ceiling fell apart and parts of the console exploded. The damage to the console was extensive enough to cause the Door Release Lever to malfunction. The Doctor nearly fell out of the TARDIS. (TV: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour)

It was rebuilt by the TARDIS, but it decided to replace it with another version of the console room and archive the old room. The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams and separated matrix of the TARDIS entered it when House had control of the TARDIS. House deleted the room for the power needed to leave the bubble universe he was in and enter N-Space. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)
