Taking a few of them back to [[Earth]] in The Doctor's stolen [[TARDIS]], The Master tricked the citizens of Earth into believing they were a friendly race called the Toclafane. This was later revealed when the Toclafane/Humans killed the American President [[Coleman Winters]], and using the space-time rift created by The Master's [[Paradox Machine]], (actually The Doctor's TARDIS) descended upon the Earth.

With Martha, the Tenth Doctor and Jack's help, the scientists Yana and Chantho were able to activate the rocket to send the humans to Utopia.

The last of humanity boarded the ship and were sent away. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"]) They soon realised there were no "diamonds" and cannibalised their bodies into the Toclafane, becoming childlike in order to survive, though it didn't work since the universe was still collapsing around them. Sometime later the Saxon Master would return to offer them a chance to return to the universe and start again. (TV: Last of the Time Lords [+]Loading...["Last of the Time Lords (TV story)"])

In fact, she had tricked Professor Alison Docherty into revealing her location while she told a story that would make all of humanity say "Doctor" at one moment in time. The Doctor spent the year psychically tuning himself into the Archangel Network of satellites, and his youth was restored. Jack Harkness destroyed the paradox machine with an assault rifle.
