'''The Year of the Slow Invasion''' was a gradual [[Alien invasion|invasion]] of [[Earth]] over a twelve month period in the [[2010s]] of the [[21st century]]<!--The exact year is unknown and unstated. There is no evidence the infiltration occurs in 2020. 10 years have passed for Amy in The Power of Three, but not for Earth--> by the [[Shakri cube]]s so that the [[Shakri]] could eliminate [[human]]ity. | '''The Year of the Slow Invasion''' was a gradual [[Alien invasion|invasion]] of [[Earth]] over a twelve month period in the [[2010s]] of the [[21st century]]<!--The exact year is unknown and unstated.

Believing humanity to be a [[plague]] that would bring ruin to the [[universe]] should they go out into the [[star]]s to colonise, the Shakri decided to conduct "pest control" by sending their cubes to infiltrate 21st century [[Earth]] in the month of [[July]].<!--There is no evidence the infiltration occurs in 2020. 10 years have passed for Amy in The Power of Three, but not for Earth--> They were inactive but still were believed to be a threat. The [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Kate Stewart]], and [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian Williams]] decided to watch the cubes until some kind of activity occurred, though the Doctor eventually got bored and didn't resume observing the cubes until he returned to Earth in [[June]]. The cubes were subjected to numerous tests by [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] to see what could destroy them; through human methods, it was impossible. Eventually, the Shakri began using an android to command [[Orderlies (The Power of Three)|fake orderlies]], which kidnapped multiple humans over the course of the year. | Believing humanity to be a [[plague]] that would bring ruin to the [[universe]] should they go out into the [[star]]s to colonise, the Shakri decided to conduct "pest control" by sending their cubes to infiltrate 21st century [[Earth]] in the month of [[July]].<!--There is no evidence the infiltration occurs in 2020. 10 years have passed for Amy in The Power of Three, but not for Earth--> They were inactive but still were believed to be a threat.

The following July, every last cube performed some random function; some of them were harmful (such as spewing fire and causing mood swings) and some were just plain annoying (like playing the "[[Chicken Dance]]"). The cubes then sucked in [[electricity]], using it to stop the [[heart]]s of one-third of the human population. The Doctor infiltrated the [[Shakri ship]] and used the cubes' programming to restart the hearts they previously stopped. The ricocheting wave of energy caused one of their ships to explode, sealing them back outside the universe.
