In March [[2006]], the [[Passameer-Day]] [[Slitheen]] killed the Prime Minister and also murdered several government officials whom they used as disguises. They crashed their own [[Slitheen craft|ship]] into the Thames ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') to convince the world there was an alien threat so they would be given the codes for nuclear weapons by the [[United Nations]], which they would then use to destroy Earth and then sell its remains for starship fuel. This plot was foiled when [[Mickey Smith]] fired a [[Harpoon missile]] at [[10 Downing Street]], where the Slitheen awaited the nuclear codes.

This disaster, located so near the rift, would destroy Earth and allow her to use the [[tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator]] to escape the planet. Blon was captured by the [[Ninth Doctor]], and her contingency plan of using an alien power source to blow up the world was also foiled when the [[heart of the TARDIS]] opened up, regressing Blon into an egg, and the TARDIS absorbed the rift energy.
