Seeking immortality, | Seeking immortality, [[Mawdryn]] and his accomplices stole a [[metamorphic symbiosis regenerator]] from [[Gallifrey]], which they modified to give themselves endless life. However, they found that the process induced constant mutative regeneration, which they came to consider a fate worse than death. Because of their mutations, they were exiled by the elders of their planet to an endlessly-travelling spaceship programmed to take them within [[transmat]] distance of a planet every seventy years to enable them to attempt to seek a cure. | ||
During their exile, they experimented with the regenerator in the hopes of finding a cure, but discovered that the process was irreversible. However, their experiments introduced a viral side effect to the mutations, causing them to pass on what they had come to consider the "Time Lords' curse" to others with whom they came into contact.
