She was a British [[cosmonaut]] on the [[Russian Federal Space Agency]] mission [[Project Midas]], beating over twenty-five thousand other candidates. In [[2051]], Margret became the second British woman to walk on the [[moon]]. She met the first, [[Adelaide Brooke]], and the two developed mutual respect.

Born in [[Sheffield]] in 2028, she gained a first honours chemistry degree and went in to engineering. She would later become a British cosmonaut on the [[Russia]]n Federal Space Agency mission Project Midas, beating over 25,000 other candidates, and in [[2051]] became the second British woman to have landed on the [[moon]]. She met the first woman, [[Adelaide Brooke]], and the two developed mutual respect, with Brooke requesting Cain join the Bowie Base One mission.

She flew up to the base in [[2058]] and worked there studying the planet [[Mars]] with a team of humans. She was infected with a virus that changed her body form. This virus was known as [[The Flood (The Waters of Mars)|The Flood]]. She along with all the other infected members tried to infect the remaining crew and escape to [[Earth]], but failed due to the actions of The [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth Doctor]]. While infected she appeared to act as the leader of those infected by the virus, and was shown to have a voice powerful enough to crack the ice holding the main body of The Flood. She was blown up when Adelaide, her captain, took "Action 5" and destroyed the Base. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars]]'')
=== Infected by the Flood ===
During a conversation with Yuri, Maggie's virus became active. The Flood occupying her body revealed its desire to reach Earth, a planet rich in water.
