The request was denied and the UK government offered sixty-seven hundred children of Failed Asylum Seekers; the 456 rejected this offer and used the children of each country to tell the respective governments the number of children required by the 456. | The request was denied and the UK government offered sixty-seven hundred children of Failed Asylum Seekers; the 456 rejected this offer and used the children of each country to tell the respective governments the number of children required by the 456. | ||

This killed almost everyone in Thames House, including [[Ianto Jones]] and temporarily [[Jack Harkness]]. With no other choice, the governments of the world reluctantly agreed to the 456's demands, now seeing fighting back as useless. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'') | ||

Now represented by Colonel [[Augustus Oduya]] of [[UNIT]], the governments of Earth conceded to the demands of the 456 and began collecting the children. In particular, the government of the UK began using the children from the lowest performing schools in the country. At Colonel Oduya's request, the [[456 ambassador]] revealed that they were drug traders, seeking the children of Earth for the "hit" the children's chemicals gave them. | |||
As the children were collected, [[Alice Carter]] convinced [[Johnson (Children of Earth)|Johnson]] to work with [[Jack Harkness]] to defeat the 456 and to save the children of Earth. Jack realised that the signal the 456 used to kill [[Clement McDonald]] was new and if he turned it into a constructive wave, it could be used to defeat the 456. Jack used the children of Earth as one giant transmitter to send the signal to the 456 with [[Steven Carter|his own grandson]] acting as the prime transmitter. The transmission caused the 456 ambassador to writhe in pain before appearing to violently explode. Immediately afterwards, the ambassador's remains were removed from [[Thames House]] in another [[pillar of fire]]. With the apparent death of their ambassador, any surviving 456 retreated from Earth rather than retaliate. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)|Children of Earth: Day Five]]'') | |||
The 456 would become the namesakes of various resolutions and changes to laws across the globe, including the [[456 Regulation]] in Great Britain and the [[456 amendments]] to [[U.S. Code 3184]]. The 456 Regulation declared the members of [[Torchwood Three]] officially deceased, and the 456 amendments allowed the extradition of the [[Torchwood (team)|Torchwood team]] into the [[United States]] when captured.
