History
In December 2009, a salvage team, consisting of Rossiter and Addams, arrived on Earth in order to find the Immortality Gate. The Gate had been reactivated by humans, and sent out a signal which attracted the pair. They infiltrated the company of Joshua Naismith, under the guise of two Human scientists. They were trying to repair the Immortality Gate, but the Master stopped their plans by using it to transform every human on Earth into duplicates of himself.
The Vinvocci, unaffected due to their alien nature, helped the Doctor and Wilfred Mott escape the Master, bringing them to their ship. They later helped the Doctor return to the Naismith mansion, dropping off Wilfred shortly after. They then departed, unwilling to involve themselves any further in the conflict. (DW: The End of Time)
