Roman and the other members of Bowie Base One met [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] on [[21 November]] [[2059]], the same day the attack on the the [[The Flood (The Waters of Mars)|Flood]] began. Being the operator of Gadget backfired on him when the [[Tenth Doctor]] modified the robot to move at a considerable speed, causing Roman significant pain in the process. | |||

In 2059, while escaping from Bowie Base One, he looked up at the ceiling and was infected by [[The Flood (The Waters of Mars)|the Flood]] when a single drop of water fell on his cheek. Knowing he would soon be transformed, Roman stops running. [[Adelaide Brooke]], unaware of what happened, tells Roman to come with them. Roman tells them to go, and informs them that he was infected by saying "I'm sorry, Captain. One drop". Mia screams and sobs as he is infected and begins jittering, but Yuri restrains her, and so they all make for the shuttle. After his transformation, Roman and the other infected personnel went to the glacier and screamed so they could crack the ice. Roman and the other infected personnel were killed when Adelaide blew up the entire base.
