In the early 21st century, Prescott and his helpers, Sally, Eliot and Lyndon, tried to kill Calvin Palmer and Vincent Wheaton. Instead, Vincent used his telekinetic abilities to defend himself, causing the deaths of Prescott's helpers. Prescott fled in terror. A month later, the Seventh Doctor located Prescott. After questioning him about Wheaton, the Doctor left him to the mercy of the kid gangs he'd preyed upon. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Warhead)
