The Adherents of the Repeated Meme were a quintet of robots used by Cassandra O'Brien.

Appearance

The Adherents of the Repeated Meme were cloaked in black and their heads were concealed behind black masks, making sure their true identities remained hidden. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme had grave-like voices, which sounded like very loud whispers. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme had metallic hands and wore yellow chains around their necks which indicated rank. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme were operated remotely by Lady Cassandra herself. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"])

History

The Adherents of the Repeated Meme were the followers of a religious sect that originated from the Church of the Meme. The organisation was formed on 16 February in the year 4.8/Pomegranate/12, when the Church split into two separate sects; the Adherence of the Repeated Meme, and the Subversion of the Repeated Meme.

These androids were used to carry and offer the stainless-steel orbs as a "gift of peace in all good faith" to the guests. These orbs secretly housed the metal spiders. One of their other main purposes was to allay suspicion away from Cassandra at the end of the world party, where they supposedly represented Financial Family Seven.

Cassandra also had them knock Rose Tyler unconscious and drag her in a room with its sun filter descending, as revenge for Rose insulting Cassandra. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme were later discovered, and their cloaks collapsed to the floor when the Ninth Doctor used his programming knowledge to make a metal spider go back to its master. One of the Adherents of the Repeated Meme attempted to strike the Doctor and he ripped off its right hand. He then snapped a wire in the hand and the quintet shut down, and their now hollow-looking cloaks suddenly dropped to the floor.
