Ah, another fic I decided to write on a whim. Lovely, isn't it? Anyways, this is sort of a "sequel" or companion fic to Situations. It is not at all necessary to read it, though. This can stand alone. There may be a reference or two to Situations, but nothing major. It has basically the same premise, except it is a "What if" story exploring the reactions of the adult Torchwood members meeting the Doctor. The chapters will be posted around the same time as those of Situations; therefore, Toshiko gets to be first again. Also, the chapters will be stand alone, and will not relate to each other. This takes place sometime around S1 of Torchwood and S2 of the new Doctor Who. My explanation for this utterly impossible turn of events is some sort of transportation alien tech. In the chapters, one of the Torchwood members (except Jack) touches it for some reason and end up activating it. God that was long…

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood or Doctor Who.

Toshiko groaned, holding her head. It felt like she'd been tossed to Janet. Images flashed through her mind, reminding her how this happened. Note to self… DO NOT touch the unidentified alien tech. It could turn out to be some kind of… She observed that she was in a metal-built hallway. Alone. Some kind of transporter… Using a wall to steady herself, the Japanese woman pulled herself to her feet, just in time to be barreled over by a man.

"Oof!" She fell and hit the hard, cold floor once again. "Excuse me!" she snapped.

"Oh, really sorry 'bout-" the man stopped. He was wearing a blue pinstripe suit and a trench coat. There a blonde girl beside him. "How did you get here? You're human?" Toshiko nodded. "You shouldn't be here then!"

"And yet I am," she pointed out, climbing to her feet once more.

"Are you alright?" the girl asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Where am I?"

"Uh," the man hesitated. He looked around frantically, jogging in place. "I think we should get going. I don't feel like dying right now." The blonde nodded. She grabbed Toshiko's arm, pulling her along.

"You should answer my question," Toshiko said to the man as they ran from whatever seemed to be chasing them. He was a foot or two ahead of her.

Not looking back, he replied, "You're on Drovio! Wonderful place to find carrots. Best in the universe!"

"Then I'm not on Earth anymore," Toshiko sighed. She should have known that was the case.

The blonde gasped, "You're not surprised?"

"Yes, why is that?" the man asked, stopping in front of a door.

"It's all in the job description," she said ambiguously.

"They've deadlocked the doors! We can't get to the TARDIS!" The man cried. He was pointing a rod-like thing at the panel, but to no avail. Toshiko pushed him aside gently.

"Allow me. I have some experience in these kinds of things." She went straight to it, typing at an alarming pace. "I just have to bypass the… hack the… password…" she muttered as she worked. "There, open!" Toshiko exclaimed proudly.

"Brilliant!" the man whooped.

"Are we gonna go or not?" the blonde girl demanded.

"Oh, right!" The three of them entered the room, the man closing and sealing the door behind them. "Now, you! Explain!"

"My name is Toshiko Sato." The man gasped.

"Jelly babies!" he cried, pointing a finger at her. "And Space Pig! I knew I recognized you!" He jumped, cackling.

"Space pig…? Wait, but that was another man!" Toshiko remembered that clearly. He had short hair, big ears, and a leather jacket. This man didn't.

"It's complicated," the girl interrupted. "I'm Rose. He's the Doctor. Nice to meet you!"

Toshiko nodded. "You too." She faced the strange man. "I'm not sure how I got here. I work with alien technology. My team found a piece of alien tech, and I was foolish enough to activate it. I ended up here."

"You bunch of "alien hunters" fiddled with alien stuff that you didn't know about, and that's what got you into this mess?" the Doctor snorted.

"I'm the technical analysts, it's my job," she snapped. "And we have a lot of experience. We're not just some group of enthusiasts! Why do you think I was with the space pig?" Well, it was sort of true. Owen was the professional in that situation, but he'd been hung-over, and Toshiko was forced to take his place. "I just want to get home!"

The Doctor eyed her warily. "Uh huh. And where is home?"

"Cardiff."

"Cardiff? Brilliant," he muttered. He turned to the blue police box that Toshiko just noticed was there. Unlocking it, he walked inside. Rose followed him. "I can take you back. This is my ship," he called. She hesitated. "Are you coming?" he asked, poking his head out the door.

Toshiko nodded. She walked into the TARDIS, as he'd referred to it before, and was rewarded with an awe inspiring sight. The huge inside of the ship dwarfed the blue exterior. "Magnificent!" she squealed. "It's bigger on the inside!"

"That's new. You're not skeptical," the Doctor laughed. "Hang on tight, Miss Sato."

He smiled as the Japanese woman ignored him, inspecting every aspect of the TARDIS with glee.

Okay. That's all. I really wanted to mention space pig, and I did! Anyhoo, just like Situations, Gwen will go next.
