The Vlinx was a robotic being who came to work in the UNIT HQ in the City of London.
Biography
At some point prior to November 2023, (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) the Vlinx joined up with UNIT and began operating out of their London headquarters, working directly under UNIT head Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, and alongside scientific advisor Shirley Bingham.
When a waveform began driving the entire human race insane through a special giggle projected into their brains through every screen by the image of Stooky Bill, the first ever televised image, the Vlinx, unaffected by the giggle due to being an alien, developed the Zeedex device that disrupted the effects of the giggle and calmed down the humans who wore it. It chose to refer to the Zeedex as such because it believed it to be a "good name". The Vlinx helped the Fourteenth Doctor track down the source of the giggle, and was present when the Toymaker attacked the headquarters. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes
- In the in-vision commentary for The Giggle, Phil Collinson theorised that the Vlinx had been recovered from a wreckage shortly before the Giggle crisis, as to explain it's rusted appearance.
