}}'''The Amok''' was a puzzle for advanced, multi-dimensional entities. It was a small [[copper]]y, [[Currency|coin]]-like object 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 tried to be played by [[human]]s, the Amok was too complex for humans to understand. Under the Amok's influence, humans would lose focus on other matters, become obsessed with "having a turn" and eventually go insane. | }}'''The Amok''' was a puzzle for advanced, multi-dimensional entities.

Circa [[2007]], the Amok was found in a bar in [[Cardiff]], where it caused chaos when the people inside tried to play it, went mad and attacked each other to get a turn. [[Torchwood Three]] captured and contained it, but it still had a mental influence on the team.

[[Torchwood Three]] captured and contained it, but it still had a mental influence on the team. [[Owen Harper]] snapped, releasing the Amok and causing further mental decay for Torchwood. Mr [[Dine]], who also detected the Amok, broke into the Torchwood Hub, solved the Amok and destroyed it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Border Princes (novel)|Border Princes]]'') | ||
