[[BOSS]] used the surviving maggots in the Llanfairfach cave systems as both drones and foodstuff for the [[Proper Grub]] health food corporation, controlling them via sonics. However, over time they evolved, until they were able to take control of BOSS, becoming the company's new secret owners. Their "espilon" maggots continued serving as the secret ingredient in Proper Grub foods, while "alpha" maggots would grow into some undisclosed manner of intelligent lifeform. [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Jo Grant]] stumbled onto their operation but ultimately let it continue, as the species was content to stay underground.
