Undated events
The Ninth Doctor traced a Chula ambulance to London, thinking it a warship. He found a boy called Jamie, who had been partially resurrected by nanogenes. Jamie pursued the Doctor, Rose Tyler and Jack Harkness after Jack set off emergency protocols, releasing an army of people made to be just like Jamie searching for his mother.
