"Handles" was the nickname given by the Doctor to the salvaged head of a damaged Cyberman. He used it as a mobile database whilst investigating increasing alien activity around an obscure planet. Spaceships from many civilisations were congregating here as a mysterious signal was being transmitted across the entire universe. Handles identified the planet as Trenzalore, where the Doctor believed his grave would ultimately lie, and later he used the Time Lord seal which had been taken from the Master in the Death Zone on Gallifrey to translate the message. It originated from the Time Lords, alerting the universe to the fact that they had not been destroyed in the Time War. It was intended for the Doctor, asking him to give his name so that they would know that it was safe for to re-emerge. With Clara stuck on Earth, the Doctor lived in the village of Christmas on Trenzalore for hundreds of years, defending it from the numerous aliens. He constantly repaired Handles, but eventually it wore out and stopped working.
