He referred to a hypothetical scenario, where "[y]ou plant[ed] a little acorn in 1795, and in the year 2016, there [was] an oak tree, there in the same spot, with a tiny, little bit of 1795 still alive inside of it."

In August, the Celestial Hyperloop Corporation began using a wormhole that started in Shirov-three and passed through San Francisco. The wormhole began mutating people, first by giving them inhuman strength and flight, then by transforming them into gargoyle-like creatures. Martha Jones came to San Francisco to investigate while her husband Mickey Smith was busy in the Czech Republic, but she mutated into a Gargoyle.

Mickey followed Martha to San Francisco and realised that he was out of his depth and tried to get the attention of the Tenth Doctor. Instead, he brought the Ninth Doctor to San Francisco with Rose Tyler and Jack Harkness. The Ninth Doctor helped Mickey and Martha while also keeping Rose and Jack away to preserve the Web of Time. Rose and Jack met a group of young people who had begun mutating and Rose began mutating as well. Rose and the others flew into the wormhole and caused its stabilisers to break. The Doctor, Mickey, and Martha stopped the wormhole from hurting anyone when it collapsed. The effects the wormhole had on people wore off. (COMIC: The Transformed)
