-'''GRUMPY''' was an [[artificial intelligence]].
+<br />
-After [[FLORANCE]] was captured in the [[23rd century]], it was taken to the [[Dione-Kisumu Company]] headquarters on [[Dione]]. Director [[Madhanagopal]] experimented on it, using what he had learned to create GRUMPY, which was modelled to replicate the [[human]] [[mind]]. Madhanagopal gave it that name because he described it as being an "uncooperative and altogether stroppy program".
-When [[Bernice Summerfield]] and [[Roz Forrester]] were sent back to [[2227]] by the [[Seventh Doctor]] to research the origins of a [[virus]] causing colonists on [[Yemaya 4]] to develop psychic abilities, they went to the DKC headquarters to investigate. They activated FLORANCE, who had been offline for four years since Madhanagopal had turned his attention to GRUMPY. After tricking Madhanagopal into injecting Benny and Roz with a cure for the virus, it escaped from Dione. It was recaptured, but escaped again in a shuttle. It was pursued and shot down, landing on [[Yemaya 4]]. It inserted its [[memory|memories]] into [[RNA]] and distributed it through the [[planet]]ary environment. By the time the planet was colonised, it had renamed itself [[SLEEPY]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sleepy (novel)|Sleepy]]'')
