** The Faction's Biodata Virus. Shall we say '''''monstruous''''' doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it?<br /><br />For starters, a person's biodata is the sum of their temporal and physical self. An analyzable summary everything you are throughout any point in your history. The Faction Virus corrupts that biodata and brainwashes you. Not so that you'll be working for the Faction. That'd be too easy. It makes it so you ''always have been'' and ''always will''. It takes your new loyalties and makes them into immutable, unchangeable ''fact''. There is no cure because, in his new reality, the corrupted individual has always been a Faction operative, with no way to change him back without changing the patient's biodata, which the Virus doesn't make easy to say the least. [[Oh Crap|Oh, and the Doctor is infected]].

** ''Interference, Books 1 and 2'', where we ''really'' go to town on the Doctor's timeline by getting his Third self killed before his [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S11 E5 Planet of the Spiders|appointment on Metebelis 3]]. Then there's our last appearance in the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]], ''The Ancestor Cell'', where Gallifrey [[Earthshattering Kaboom|falls]] (yep, [[It's Been Done]]), giving [[Last of His Kind|Eight]] a bad case of [[Trauma Induced Amnesia]] and causing him to [[Walking the Earth|walk the earth]] for the next several books while his TARDIS regrows itself.
