On 22nd century Earth, decommissioning was used to refer to the death of Gangers. At St John's Monastery Miranda Cleaves "decommissioned" the Ganger Buzzer when she electrocuted him with a circuit probe. (TV: The Rebel Flesh) The Ganger Jennifer Lucas asked her fellow Gangers if they remembered all the times they had been decommissioned, which she regarded as an execution. Though the other Gangers did not remember, Jennifer inherited the memory of Jennifer Lucas' Gangers that came before her. When Miranda Cleaves contacted the mainland Captain for assistance, he assured her that a shuttle would be sent in to retrieve her team and decommission the Flesh. However, due to the Eleventh Doctor's intervention, Cleaves and the Ganger Dicken were sent to reveal the truth about the Gangers' sentience, while the Ganger Jimmy Wicks reunited with his son in the place of his deceased original counterpart.
