Hello, everyone.
This is Captain Jack Harkness, representing Torchwood. A few of you know may know me and I know a few of you. I've been here for a long time, two years last March, and I've seen Chicago change: from a city keeping its head down so as not to attract Calisto's attentions, to a battlefield between demons and the angels under Romana's command, to a place with a hard-won peace treaty, still defending itself against terrorists like the CLF. I don't know what it is today, but I know that we've endured, and I know that we'll continue to.
By now you've all seen Martha's post, and there's not much I can add on to that. This city likes giving us hard knocks, but it hasn't brought us down.
Tonight, the Kashtta Tower on Wabash and Lake is opening its doors to house Wanderers and others who have nowhere else to go after the fall of the Conrad. The building is owned by Torchwood, and the people in it fall under our protection. I can't promise that the violence which tears through Chicago won't ever come to the doors, but if it does, know you won't be facing it on your own.
We've been working in cooperation with Elashte to stock the building and get it ready. The rooms and the building aren't the most glamorous, but you'll get some privacy, four walls, locking doors, and warm beds. Food and basic supplies – sheets, towels, hygienics – are all on us. Consider us your home away from Hotel.

Everyone, welcome Matoi Tsunetsuki on board as Owen's assistant in a probationary role. She can introduce herself, if she'd like.
Owen, Mio, as the two of you seem to be the ones in communication with this place we live in, I'm afraid I may have to ask you to take on a few jobs usually reserved for security personnel. I don't imagine enforcement will fall to you unless something really goes wrong, but keep your eyes and ears open, if you could. We're getting an influx of people in here and I'm sure emotions are still running high, and if we have to run containment – cross your fingers that we won't – you two are going to be the most likely to see how.
