[Locked to Charlie Walker]

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?

Suzie Costello is here. Just came through the Rift. She's at the Main Gauche now.

She's from a point in her timeline just before she started working on the Glove.

Thought you all should know.

[Locked to Toshiko]

Tosh – I need any CCTV corresponding to Hart's locations for the last two four days, and I need to review it personally. There's a chance it could contain some extremely sensitive information.

Locked to Toshiko

Okay, I'm just now getting caught up on the journals, but— do we need to talk about UNIT? Because I have a feeling I'm missing something pretty big due to universe disparallels, and—

You know what? You're coming out with me for a day. Movie. Ice cream. Fermilab. Coffee. TALKING.

No arguments.



Locked to Gwen

I'm going to get Toshiko out of the basement for a day; I think she could use it. I'll leave a number for you to reach me at, but do you think you can hold down the fort until I get back?

IANTO - Could you work with (sorry, it's a list)
   • Toby to set up a counselling room
   • Florence to set up a massage parlour (no, I'm actually serious)
   • Dinah to work out a service for Brando
   • Martha (and anyone else who'll weigh in) to see what other sorts of facilities might be appreciated by the residents here? Hell, put up something on the Bulletin Board, or something. (Or you can break out the clipboards and take a survey.)

TOSH - In your educated opinion, O Closest Person I Know To An Engineer, how many walls could we knock out between converted bedrooms before we risked the Conrad falling on our heads?

SAM & MAT - I owe each of you a beer and probably more than one. Sam, if you'd rather I go out, get it, and bring it back here, I don't blame you at all.
