It was a small [[copper]]y, [[coin]]-like object, but with indescribable geometry. It was partly intelligent and had a need to be played, breaking down barriers and affecting people's minds to reach that goal. Though it attempted to be played by [[human]]s, the Amok was too complex for humans to understand. When under the Amok's influence, humans would lose focus on other matters, becoming obsessed with "having a turn" and eventually going insane. | ||
Circa [[2007]], the Amok was found in a bar in [[Cardiff]], where it caused chaos when the people inside tried to play it, going mad and attacking each other to get a turn. [[Torchwood Three]] was able to capture and contain it, but it still had a mental influence on the team. [[Owen Harper]] eventually snapped, releasing the Amok and causing further mental decay for Torchwood. Mr [[Dine]], who also detected the Amok, was able to break into the Torchwood Hub, solve the Amok and then destroy it.
