I don't know the protocol for this, if there is any, so I'll go directly to the point: I want to query you regarding the existence of an anomalous Fact in this temporal neighborhood. And because this discussion and any proceeding action could prove potentially hazardous to the Doctor and his allies iff they were to become aware of it, I would ask that they not be allowed access to the interchange.

Is this acceptable?

I'm sure Suzie reported to you that I was working at a junk shop, some time before the trial. I left there under short notice, and I gave the owner the impression that I just disappeared, I think. I'd like to go back and apologize for that. But there are a few other reasons I'm asking.

A lot of non-native artifacts and technology found their way into her shop - she has a good eye for that sort of thing, and she has people bringing her stuff from all over the city. Most of it wasn't dangerous, but some of it was, and a lot of it was useful for one thing or another although she couldn't identify it. She's not a supernatural human, she's got no access to the journal networks, I'm not sure she's more than peripherally aware of wanderers and the Rift. There's not a lot of revenue to be made at a junk shop in the best of times, and I don't think she'd mind if she had someone to route a lot of her more inexplicable stock to a reliable buyer. And I'm sure there are people here who have been missing some of those resources.

Also, I

I'm missing a day of memories.

Someone's TAKEN I remember there was

There's a perceptual CUE for a species entity species called the GOD Sifr they're the ones who put me in this universe to begin with. I remember that cue. I don't know

I don't know what they were doing to me.

I don't know

Someone from Luke's organization got to him under the pretense of being able to help get him away. Apparently he asked how Luke had managed to stay under the radar this long, saying it would be useful information to capitalize on to keep him safe wherever he was going, and Luke told them what he knew. He admitted it to me; apparently the meeting was disrupted long enough for him to get away, but he's still a little convinced that you'll turn him out on the street as soon as you find out about this.

Hey. Charlie. I just wanted to give you a heads-up: Romana tried sent a team to assassinate two people in Torchwood here, and her attack didn't go as planned. The Doctor's decided that he's going to fix things, which I really hope won't lead to him to do something like walk up to Romana and ask her to negotiate. But you know the Doctor.

For what it's worth, I'm really sorry for the trouble. Not that I have much control over insane First Angels, but I feel like I should say something.

[Locked to Gwen and Sam]

I'm going to be returning to the Main Gauche for a while – I want to keep an eye on Toshiko (she's fine, if a bit blue, at the moment; I got to see her earlier in the week) and I have some business to discuss with Elashte. And then there's Suzie.

Sam, if you don't know, Suzie Costello is a former (where I come from, and where most of Torchwood Three comes from) member of Torchwood whose tenure there ended in a sequence of be mur events which forced us to kill her twice. She'd laid plans to deal a strike against Torchwood in the event that we turned on her. It wound up being used to turn on us.

What makes this overcomplicated is why. Part of what lead up to this was a subtle psychic manipulation by an alien glove that pulled her into more trouble than she thought she could get out of without us finishing her. Part was a tendency toward paranoia and an aversion to trust which I'd find concerning even if she wasn't Torchwood-trained and capable of a hell of a lot. She's from before a point in her timeline when she's had any real exposure to the glove, and when I told her what happened, she admitted that she'd been laying plans to extract herself from Torchwood for some time if she needed to. She also said that, as things stood now, she wouldn't turn on anyone unless they turned on her first.

Oh, and in case that wasn't complication enough? The Rift seems to have given her the ability to see and converse with part of one's subconscious. She explained it as the Jungian concept of the Shadow. Which, you know, is... a horrifying proposition.

It seems to me that we can't very well leave her at the Main Gauche indefinitely – a bored Torchwood agent is never a good thing, and we should at least try to take care of our own. Besides, it might be best if we can keep an eye on her. But I imagine that bringing her back into the fold is going to rub some raw nerves, not to mention the inherent problems of bringing a woman with confirmed paranoid tendencies into contact with a number of people who might not trust her when she can see the repressed parts of their psyches.

Gwen, you're technically still in command of Torchwood Three, and given the atmosphere around here at the moment, it might be best for you to retain that position for a bit.

My tentative recommendation to both of you is that we bring her in on some form of probationary position. Sam, it might be best were she assigned to your team, to minimize contact, at least initially, with the people in Torchwood Three who remember her from their universe. You also have the advantage that you'll know if she's lying. But if either or both of you feel uncomfortable with that, let me assure you that I totally understand.

...this sort of thing is one of the many reasons Torchwood One had a psychic on staff, honestly.

[Locked to Toshiko]

I'm sorry I vanished on you. Elashte made it more than clear that I wasn't to remove you from the grounds.

I'll be back in tonight. I'm sure you have questions.

[Locked to Suzie]

I know you saw Elashte's message. I'm sorry I didn't stop by to talk to you, but I was out the door as soon as Elashte briefed me, and even so, we were engaged within fifteen minutes of my arrival.

At some point you will need to meet the members of Torchwood who are here, but that should be in a controlled situation, not on a battlefield. I'm speaking to them, though.

[Locked to Elashte]

Elashte,

I'll be back at the Main Gauche tonight. Thank you for your help re: the archangel attack.

Is there any possibility that we could reschedule our appointment to tonight?

You won't be able to find Tosh around the Kashtta. I extracted her back to the Main Gauche. I'm sure she's been compromised somehow – just a matter of finding out how.

I may have

I'll try to get her back to you in one piece.

Quick perception exercise. Answer these questions quickly, without looking at any notes or consulting anyone else.

1) What was the date in your universe when you first met John Hart?

2) What was the date in your universe when you came through the Rift?
