By around the mid-[[21st century]], the government had decided to shut down the UK branch of UNIT and replace it entirely with ICIS. By this point, Brimmicombe-Wood was in command of UNIT. Both groups began using UNIT's base in preparation for the change. Before the handover, ICIS fired on a [[Silurian]] diplomatic party, resulting in a retaliatory strike at [[London]] that both ICIS and UNIT dealt with; Brimmicombe-Wood commanded both teams, and ICIS were deliberately instructed to leave no prisoners. To keep this out of the press, ICIS's Sergeant French captured and tortured BBC journalist [[Francis Currie]] into staying quiet. | By around the mid-[[21st century]], the government had decided to shut down the UK branch of UNIT and replace it entirely with ICIS.

They deliberately revealed the Silurian's and UNIT's remit at the press conference, causing ICIS' Captain [[Andrea Winnington]] to fire on the reptilian ambassador. ICIS was discredited and UNIT was able to argue that it should maintain control of alien matters. Both Winnington and French were arrested, ICIS was given a separate base with a UK security remit separate from UNIT's, and both groups co-existed. ([[BFU]]: ''[[The Coup]]'') | ||
ICIS were already working to eventually take over the country to protect its sovereignty. They used reverse-engineered alien technology and government helplines to program the general public into becoming sleeper agents, intending to use them to trigger a wave of terrorism and violence.
