Hi hello this is just a fun little prolouge. Now the doctor will end up showing up in two or three Chapters as I try and get a little back story on the main character who will be the female timelord. And yes Jack will be making some appearances ^_^ I hope I can write this as entertaining as possible while keeping characters in well character ^_^ I also have another fic as well if you're interested. Well Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own My Oc characters only Doctor who is the intellectual property of BBC because if I owned it you wouldn't be reading this you'd be watchin' it...and I'd live in britain...and I'd be rich...and I'd play on the tardis set when now one was looking. But i don't so T_T


An overdue impromptu mission statement:

Torchwood. One of the many organizations that protects the earth from the ever growing alien threat. They operate outside the government and above the police. There were four in total but One and two were destroyed in the battle of canary wharf and four is classified as missing.

Torchwood four's last two known transmissions were in 1992 when a distress call was sent out. The transmission followed as such:

Transmission one 12:42 am Dec. 31:

[Team leader] "Hey, this is Alicia Bouvuare of Torchwood four, at 5am this morning our quarantine protocols went off putting us in lockdown. There must be something wrong with our system. I had a full work up of all life forms within the facility, including employees, and had our tech do an extensive scan of the entire bloody building three times and nothing abnormal came up. I even had our archiver check a piece of alien tech we retrieved from a raid on a black markets deal last night and still nothing. So could one of your techie's come down and check out our systems to let us out?"

[Team medic] "Yah! How about before we die of old age! Some of us have plans you know!"

[Team leader] "Dammit Goode stop complaining and get back to work!"

[Tower technician 15382] "This is Torchwood two. We can't lift the quarantine till we've done scans and run through all the protocols on our end. So it might be a while. I suggest you make yourselves comfortable and just sit tight for now."

[Team leader] "Nothing else we can do I suppose."

Transmission two 3:43 am Jan. 01:

[Team leader] " 999, mayday, S.O.S., emergency, is anyone receiving this? We need immediate evac. The facilities been *inaudible voice of another person* What! *inaudible male voice* Oh god. No, no please isn't there something you can do! *Inaudible female voice* WELL TRY HARDER! I don't want to end up like Kathy. Plea- *transmission cuts out due to screaming*.

[Tower technician 07863] "Hello? Torchwood four? Is everything ok! Is anyone there. Please report! This is torchwood two, what is your situation? Hello? Hey, Reginald somethings going on with Torchwood four, their transmission just cut off. I think I heard screaming. I need you to send a tactical team down there asap. *pause in speech* Crap. Fine call Torchwood three have them check it out. *inaudible male laughter* Yeah, lets just hope it's another repeat of there infamous 1990 New years blowout."

Those MIA from Torchwood four are as follows:

Alicia Bouvuare; age 34, Team Leader

Kathy Temple; age 28, Second in Command

Tom Goode; age 24, Medical Expert

Bo Desmond; age 22, Archivist

Lizbin Franco; age 24, Tech Expert

Brue Smith; age 29, Inter-Agency and Public Liaison

Quinn Desmond; age 18, Caretaker

Torchwood Three arrived on scene at 5:59 am after the last transmission. Upon arrival they noticed the facility had vanished. All that remained was the starter foundation in the ground. There were no signs of an explosion or visible conflict. After extensive searching and testing it was concluded that Torchwood Four had jumped through time due to residual quantum particulates in the soil at the foundation.

It was rumored at the time that Torchwood Four was working on some highly sensitive equipment including, but not limited to, time travel. It was also a known fact that there lead Tech Expert Lizbin had published many theoretical theorems on the subject which lead to her eventual hiring to Torchwood. So the theory of Torchwood Four having time travelled wasn't deemed impossible. However the case still remains open.


Locke paused in his typing to let out an exasperated sigh. He looked up from his work station, "Can I help you ma'am?"

"What? No. Of course not, you can't help me. But I can help you. This is an awful story, it's way too boring. It needs more piazza. Where's the action, the drama, the suspense! People are gonna fall asleep when they read this."

He gave his blonde haired commander a droll stare. "It's a mission statement. There supposed to be like this. Besides I wouldn't have to be writing them if you had done them properly in the first place. You've written them all up like their some mystery novel. And look at this," he holds up a manuscript labeled 'The shadow with a million mouths', "You even gave them cheesy titles."

Locke dropped the papers onto the desk. His commander looked on blankly at the stack before breaking out into a wide grin. "Oh! I remember that day like it was yesterday. Which it could very well be since I haven't check the dates today. But I write like that because it's fun. Come on you can't tell me you weren't hanging on every word when you read them. Besides I had a more practical reason when I wrote them that way."

"Really what would that be?"

"If these documents were to ever, god forbid, get into the hands of the public it could easily be covered up as a novel someone wrote in their spare time."

Locke looked surprised. He knew two things to be true about his Team Leader. One she was incredibly intelligent and two she's an eternal slacker when it came to protocols. Yet here she did something with the intentional foresight to solve a possible problem. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.

And as if sensing the nice thoughts he had swirling around in his mind she added one more part to shatter his new found respect, "Plus I don't much care for mission statements. Who wants to write up all that structured blah blah."

Or maybe not. He groaned in frustration and turned back to his screen. "Wait! What are you doing. You're really serious when you said you were going to re-write them! You know you'll never get them done. There's sixty years worth of this stuff. Plus, we'll keep getting into trouble and then I'll have to write up even more. So there's no point. Quit while you're ahead kid. Besides there's an Anniversary Party going on in the old hub area right now, you should come and get drunk like the rest of us," she smacked him playfully on the back.

He gave a tentative smile but shook his head. "No thanks. I'll celebrate in my own way by giving the original team a proper report I think. That, and someone needs to stay sober incase an emergency arises while all you idiots are intoxicated."

She shrugged, "All right to each there own I suppose," she looked at the screen for a second then continued, "you haven't even gotten to the best part yet. You know, when I save the day."

Locke snorted, "You mean when you and your brother crash landed your run down TARDIS into the labs stumbling into the problem."

She looked appalled, "I'll have you know she was not rundown she was just having slight malfunctions due to a ripple in the time vortex pushing loose some old parts that had still retained damage from a previous incursion."

"Yeah yeah what ever. Go enjoy your party. I'll be here doing actual work. Your work. Someone needs too after all."

Rolling her eyes she turned towards the stairs when she stopped. "Although that reminds me I haven't written up the last report from yesterday when we encountered that nasty little Futarian Blat Beast in the Andes that was eating campers. I should probably get working on that."

Locke jumped out of his chair, "NO! I mean, no. From now on I'll do all mission reports. That way I know they're being written up properly."

If he hadn't been looking he would never have noticed the quick cheshire cat grin that had appeared on her face. He paled, "Wait-"

"Arty there you are! We're about to pop open s'more bubbly and make a toast. Hurry, hurry."

Arty seeing her escape quickly rushed out of the room after there Tech Expert Alanso. Locke fell back into his chair and scratched his head, "she planned all of that so she could get out of doing paper work. Quinn was right she's an evil genius."

With a heavy sigh he turned once more to the task at hand, diving back into his labors.


But here's the thing about Torchwood Four...it has no intention of ever returning. By the end of Jan. 1st Torchwood four would be forever changed. A TARDIS spiraling out of control in the time vortex would eventually crash land and, as a way of healing itself, the remnants of the broken machine would end up integrating into the structure of the facility. It's occupants from then on would fill in the void left from that days events.

These events proceeded as follows:

12:58 am Jan 1st exactly 14 minutes after the first transmission:

Quinn Desmond makes his usual rounds, after the team leader orders everyone to continue as normal, when he notices a few of the holding cells are empty. He calls up to the hub for confirmation of any transfers in cells 641, 654, 657,712, and 908. He receives a negative. He looks down in one of the cells and then asks for Tom Goode. He doesn't specify why, just that Tom should bring his kit.

1:03 am:

Quinn has Tom look into the cells. He sees nothing till Quinn tells him to look underneath the beds. He finds the skeletal remains of cell occupant 641, a weevil. He then checks the other four to confirm, he calls Kathy Temple down and makes the rest of the team aware of the situation. Cell 908 is the only one just empty. Alicia searches the records to find out its occupant was a Judoon that had fallen through the rift. She puts everyone on high alert and goes searching for it.

1:08 am:

Kathy and Tom collect the remains and transport them to the morgue for further examination under the orders of Alicia.

1:24 am:

Lizbin Franco and Brue Smith are re-scanning the building for the fourth time when there's a power surge. The power flickers on and off before it returns to normal status. Alicia asks for Lizbin to check out engineering. She has Bo Desmond bring down the necessary equipment. Brue continues scanning.

1:32 am:

Tom finishes his autopsy. He concludes the bodies were stripped of all flesh. Kathy leaves to search their database for any alien that matches the m.o. Tom updates Alicia. Lizbin and Bo start checking engineering.

1:36 am:

Lizbin notices a few cut wires indicating sabotage. She reports it to Alicia. They suspect it's the loose Judoon. Alicia makes her way over to that location as Lizbin works on fixing the problem. Bo stands watch.

1:40 am:

Kathy having found nothing on record looks over the cctv in the cells to find out how the aliens died. Brue reports having found nothing on the scans again. He re-groups with Tom.

1:51 am:

Kathy radios over the intercom for everyone to re-convene in the hub. She's found something that everyone has to look at immediately.

2:02 am:

The team watches the cctv footage of cell 908. The Judoon in his deactivated helmeted space suit thrashes about screaming before it stops. The door to it's cell opens. It walks in front of all the other cells they found empty. One minute after it walks off screen the other aliens after a second or two of screaming are instantaneously reduced to bones.

2:09 am:

After everyone has calmed down a distraught Kathy quietly exits the room to find a drink.

2:11 am:

A loud scream is heard from the staff kitchen. The entire crew, except for Bo and Lizbin, rush to her aid.

2:12 am:

Upon entering the kitchenette a pile of bones are discovered on the floor. It's confirmed to be Kathy Temple.

2:15 am:

After careful examination of the body and surrounding area the team leader orders Lizbin and Quinn to look over all footage to see what they can find. The others go hunting for the Judoon. Lethal force is authorized.

2:31 am:

When asked to report Tom doesn't respond. It is later discovered that he's been de-fleshed like the others.

2:42 am:

Lizbin rushes out of the room to grab something from her lab after she see's something on the cctv.

2:47 am:

Lizbin doesn't report back. Alicia goes to investigate.

2:54 am:

Alarms go off. Temporal energy spikes in the vicinity of labs 12-13.

2:59 am:

Alicia witnesses an old carnival ticket booth materialize in the middle of lab thirteen.

3:01 am:

Two figures step out as the front pops open and smoke fills the room. The pilots, a brother and sister duo, were taking their maiden voyage after repairing vital systems that had been damaged. An explosion in temporal energy within the vortex, the result of an aborted timeline, caused their type 78 TARDIS to take on heavy damage resulting in an emergency landing. Alicia orders Quinn to turn on the ventilation in the room.

3:02 am:

The two figures are ordered to put there hands in the air. They comply. They're handcuffed and taken to interrogation room 3 for questioning. She reports the intruders to the rest of the team.

3:15 am:

While interrogating the two intruders Alicia is interrupted by Brue who then tells her that they found another body and it looks to be Tom. They rush out of the room leaving their captives unattended.

3:17 am:

The captives known as Arty P. Patterson and her brother Oz P. Patterson use the sisters Holo computer, integrated into her arm, to break out. They proceed to run towards lab 13 when they bump into the loose Judoon. They try and talk to it but it starts walking roboticly towards them. After a couple attempts at communication they realize something is wrong with its communicator. So Arty zaps it with her Holo but accidently pops open the helmet revealing a Judoon skull. Letting out a few choice curse words they race away from the area, Judoon slowly following.

3:19 am:

Alicia confirms Toms to be deceased. She asks Bo to look for Lizbin since she's not responding fearing the worst. She makes her way back to the interrogation room.

3:23 am:

The Pattersons while running through the halls pass the coms room. A few seconds later Arty runs in over to the screen Lizbin had been looking at. Quinn alerts everyone of the escaped captives. Arty plays the video back as Quinn tries to stop her.

She pauses it on Kathy's skeleton as it falls to the floor. She notices one of the shadows rush away from the bones to the shadow on the wall.

3:24 am:

Alicia rushes into the room guns raised. Arty starts typing away furiously pulling up all sort of windows. Alicia demands she step away from the computer. Arty tells her that they might all die if she does. Alicia raises her arm and Oz quickly disarms her.

3:25 am:

Arty finishes a life scan of the facility to reveal one million life signs. She asks Alicia how many living beings are in the facility including crew. Quinn informs her that there are 567. She shows them the scan and tells them that everyone has to evacuate the facility now. Quinn tells her its impossible because there on lockdown. Alicia wants to know what she knows so Arty tells her that they're facing a thing know as the, Vashta Nerada, flesh eating shadows.

3:30 am:

After Arty and Oz fail to lift the quarantine they suggest that they all hide in their TARDIS as it would be a safe refuge till they can come up with a plan. But before they go Arty wants to calibrate her Holo so they can tell what shadows to avoid. The lights start to flicker again and turn off before the axillary kicks in a second after. Now there are more shadows. As Arty calibrates her computer Oz starts looking for the best root to lab 13 on the cctv screens and starts directing those still somewhere in the facility towards that room. Alicia authorizes their assistance.

3:43 am:

Arty finishes her calibration as Bo finds Lizbin's remains only to become the next victim. Alicia fed up with losing more of her team sends out the last distress call. During which a scan reveals her to already be infected.

3:44 am:

The infected Judoon blocks the entrance way, the only exit. Alicia realizing she's already dead rushes forward knocking the Judoon out into the hall giving the others an escape. The Vashta Nerada devour her the moment they exit the coms room.

3:59 am:

They meet up with Brue on the other end of level three.

4:05 am:

The group makes it to the labs when they realize they're losing auxiliary and will soon be in darkness. They make a run for lab 13.

4:07 am:

They enter lab 13 only to find that there TARDIS in shambles. The console room is the only thing left as the outer-shell appears to be blown around the lab. The TARDIS seems dead. The facilities power is failing rapidly as the shadows grow near.

4:08 am:

A light on the console blinks showing that it's still alive. Arty and Oz get to work as they see it's rebuilding itself. Quinn and Brue rush over to them. A panel on the console pops open. The light from the heart of the TARDIS engulfs the room as the ground shakes. Everyone blacks out.

Fifteen minutes later, date unknown:

The crew awaken to see that the interior of Torchwood four is now meshed together with the TARDIS becoming apart of it. Arty informs them that they are safely traveling in the time vortex. The Vashta Nerada destroyed by the TARDIS its self. As Torchwood four is now apart of it Arty and Oz take command. Brue and Quinn being from Torchwood can't let them do that as the base is needed to protect earth. A compromise is made, seeing as the two Timelords already meddle in earth affairs by helping them, they let the lasting Torchwood team remain active but the Timelords are the only ones allowed near the TARDIS console room and anyone that tries to study it gets thrown out. They also don't answer to Torchwood nor does it control the time machine. The agreement is only until the TARDIS can be safely extracted from Torchwood four. Everyone agrees. Brue and Quinn appoint Arty as team leader and Oz as second in command as a goodwill gesture.


Locke stared at the screen. He paused in thought. Was that last entry to informal? As his finger hovered over the delete key an alarm blare over the com system. He let out a smug laugh, "Knew it."

Heaving himself out of his office chair he rushed down the stairs and out into the hallway. He almost smiled when Arty's voice rang in his ear piece. "Locke I better not hear an I told you so when you get down to the hub! There are more important things to do...like stop the alien invasion that's ruining our party. Stupid party crashers. Besides I'm the only one allowed to gloat!"

"Is that an order ma'am?"

"You bet your sweet ass it is!"

Locke's mouth twitched. That's the real thing about Torchwood four, never a dull moment. And if he were honest with himself he wouldn't have it any other way. Not that he'd ever tell his faithfully insane leader that. He smiled into his earpiece, "Ma'am fraternizing in the work place is highly inappropriate."

Yep just another day at the office.
