History
Chula nanogenes, who had never encountered Humans before, interacting with a dying human boy caught in the Blitz, created the so-called "Empty Child" with a hollow gas mask for a head. The nanogenes created in the compulsion in the child to infect others and the those who infected did likewise so that the nanogenes spread in a similar fashion to a virus. Rose Tyler later described the victims of "gas-masked zombies" (DW: School Reunion) in 1943 London. (DW: The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances).
