The Doctor had hoped that their experimenting on the humans in [[Bristol]] was strictly due to some misunderstanding; the Boneless originated from another dimension, and therefore were unable to communicate in a language that 3-D organisms could comprehend. However, following some experimentation he was able to establish rudimentary communication with them, consisting only of sonically encoded numbers. Their subsequent naming of the numbers on the jackets of both a previous victim and their next victim convinced the Doctor they were likely able to read, and were thus aware of what they were doing. | The Doctor had hoped that their experimenting on the humans in [[Bristol]] was strictly due to some misunderstanding; the Boneless originated from another dimension, and therefore were unable to communicate in a language that 3-D organisms could comprehend.

Satisfied that he had given them a fair chance, and that they could indeed understand him, the Doctor used his [[sonic screwdriver]] and an energy field from the TARDIS to forcibly send them back to their home dimension.

The Doctor didn't know whether the Boneless entered the 3-D universe to invade, to infiltrate or to "replace" humanity, but he believed that the role they "seem[ed] determined to play" was that of "monsters".
