Name – Mutant Scientists
The mutants, led by Mawdryn was were once a team of eight scientists who stole a Metamorphic Symbiosis Regenerator from Gallifrey. This created an unending life of perpetual mutation, their bodies eternally renewed into vile travesties of their former selves. Their ship was caught in a warp ellipse but, every seventy years, space beacons guided it within transmat distance of Earth. Mawdryn claimed that only the life force of a Time Lord's incarnation could put an end to their misery. The Doctor was ready to sacrifice his remaining regenerations, however, the energy released by the meeting between the 1977 and 1983 Brigadiers was enough to end the lives of Mawdryn and his fellow aliens.
