History

Origin

When the Enemy became one with the Life-spores, they travelled to Earth in 1967. In order to go further back, they inserted themselves into the "meta-flow" of popular culture, in an era imbued with "iconic energies". They gained the power they needed in order to travel back into the Old-times. (PROSE: The Annotated Autopsy of Agent A)

When the Seventh Doctor told Ace about the Wirrn, she was unimpressed, having recently watched the director's cut of Alien in Ealing. (PROSE: Birthright)
