History[[edit] | [edit source]]
A Schlechter Wolf was set to destroy a Chula ambulance as a cover up for Jack Harkness conning the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. However, in order to save their lives so they could help Nancy defeat the Empty Child plague, Jack used his stolen Chula warship to put the bomb in statis. It later detonated in space, destroying the ship shortly after Jack abandoned it to enter the Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])
In mid-2006, after the Northern and Jubilee London Underground lines began to be refurbished, an exponential quantity of still-active Schlechter Wolves were excavated in Bow, Pimlico, Kennington in London. Corporal Cameron Walker warned anybody attempting to salvage the shells to sell on ebay, due to the strong market for WWII artefacts, to leave the shells alone due to how lethal they were. The discovery of the shells and Corporal Walker's statements were documented in a press briefing filed by Corp Alex Balfour, embargoed until 08:00am on 28 July 2006.
