The fact that the Tv show had ended with the transform Noah blowing up himself and the other wirrn had a major influence on the real world.When Becky and her college friends played the Dr Who version of the game in 1985 she had retained her human conciousness while her body devolved into slime and a wirrn larvae.Her two girlfriends and three boyfriends had stood back in shock for a few minutes,but when she didn't attack them,they went traipsing through the alien wirrn slime and got thoroughly infected.
They had continued the game and by the end of it (11pm) they had returned to their proper human bodies.Or so they thought.Their DNA was being rewritten into the DNA or wirrn queens,and not surprisingly,midnighty was when they gave birth to their new forms.
They had retired to their separate rooms by midnight,and what they went through that terror filled night they preferred to keep silent on.
It had been an educating 17 years.They took nearly half a year to deal with their new bodies and instincts telling them to lay their eggs in humanoid hosts.They also knew however,that if they went down that road they would eventually go the way most sci fi villains ended up:dead.
Thus they decided to satisfy their annoying maternal instincts by means of the slime their young seemed to produce to create wirrn drones.Their eggs they laid in horses,cattle and other large 4 legged herbivores.Reports of ritualistic cattle mutilations started sprouting up in the newspapers.
They were kinder gentler wirrn.
And now they were going to help their 3 newest recruits into the swarm.
