Cell 114 was the official designation of a species that invaded planets with sleeper agents to gather information - according to Torchwood: Cardiff's archives: they were left in dire need of a new planet after stripping their homeworld of resources and set their sights on Earth, Cell 114 were one of the only alien species to be encountered by both Torchwood: Cardiff and Torchwood: Lincoln City branches.

## Characteristics and Methods

A Cell 114 agent is shown to resemble a planets native species, they give them artificial lives and convincing programming that makes the alien believe its cover however when the Cell activates, those given the Sleeper programming immediately turns the agents back into ruthless killing machines so they can carry out their mission.

Cell 114's method of invading planets is slow and methodical, an advance guard of sleeper agents would be the first arrivals of the species, sometimes watching for years, until they knew all they wanted to about the planet's dominant species and were ready to take over. Apparently, agents were modified to resemble the native species, with implants which could take information and transmit it to the main invasion fleet, the implants also had secret weaponry with the main weapon being a spike for close combat as well as many small bombs for sabotage or even suicide bombings.

## Powers and abilities

* Arm implants - The main asset to a Cell 114 agent, this collected data and transmitted it to the main invasion fleet and can also be used as a weapon and can store small bombs.
* Enhanced durability - Cell 114 agents can withstand most forms of injury, don't feel pain and can only be killed by being blown up or in extreme circumstances, normal weapons can slow them down but it wont hinder their progress towards their mission.
* Force field - Less than a nanometre thick, Cell agents are given a personal force field this makes their skin (especially round the implant sight) impenetrable and is handy for protection, it may also be the reason behind their enhanced durability.

## Weaknesses

* Conventional weapons - Cell 114 can be slowed with normal weapons however they won't kill them.
* Electromagnetic interference - A Cell 114 agent can cause light bulbs to flicker and electrical devices to malfunction in their presence.
* Explosions - Explosions are very effective against Cell 114 (and many other species) as this is one of the only ways they can be killed.
* Extreme bodily harm - A Cell 114 agent can be killed through any form of extreme harm (eg: Electrocution.)

## Official Media appearances

Cell 114 are aliens from the official Torchwood show, here are their main appearances in the official canon leading up to their appearance in the Eyoho verse.

### Sleeper (Torchwood TV episode)

Cell 114 was in the process of infiltrating Cardiff until Torchwood Three (Torchwood: Cardiff) discovered the Cell presence, a paramedic, a commuter called David and a mother were activated and tried to set in motion a plan to explode nuclear missiles stored in an old mine near the city. Two of the Cell agents suicide-bombed several important landmarks in Cardiff (a military pipe line and the telecommunications network), and the remaining agent attempted to access the mine's nuclear missiles but was thwarted by Torchwood. However, the agent told the Torchwood team that there were more members of the Cell's invasion force already on Earth, before self-destructing.

### Serenity (Torchwood Big Finish audio story)

The Cell launched a second attack some time later, planning on converting the people of Earth into sleepers from Serenity Plaza. However, they were stopped by Torchwood who committed genocide by wiping out Cell 114 on their spaceship with the press of a button.
