Rassilon's plan to lure the Daleks into a trap by using an armada of unwitting Time Lords led by an Auton duplicate of the Doctor draws the fury of the real War Doctor. After programming his duplicate to send the Time Lord armada retreating from the Dalek fleet, the Doctor sends another Auton duplicate to berate Rassilon, while he steals weaponry from the Time Lord armoury. Having seeded the atmospheres of a system of gas giants with proximity mines, the Doctor lures the Daleks into his trap – and as his enemies' ships trip the mines, the Doctor escapes the ensuing conflagration in his TARDIS.
For the purposes of this list, an "Auton story" is one in which one living, authentic Auton plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Love & Monsters are absent due to the Autons' only contribution being references to past Auton stories.
