Doctor Martha Jones
Martha looked at the alien corpse with great disgust, quite a few she had come across during her travels had humanoid forms and she was hoping that this body the hit squad had brought for her to check out would be no different. That was not the case however as the alien was a true monster with tentacles hanging all over the table it was lay on, Martha wasn't excited about cutting it open and getting an unhealthy splattering of slime greeting her. The alien itself has been brought in a couple of hours earlier, the team that were dispatched to deal with it had found it dwelling in the sewers beneath London. The alien had been hostile and because of the nature of the team they were quick to remove the threat, so now whilst Martha was about to perform an autopsy on the remains. The team was probably in the showers washing away the stink of the sewers they came from, Martha let out a sigh. She loved her job, it was out of this world. Almost as brilliant as her travels through time with the Doctor, though there were instances when the job wasn't exactly thrilling. Like nights like this, inspecting the remains of monstrous freaks and the time when she met Captain Jack and his Torchwood team members Gwen, Owen, Ianto and Toshiko. She enjoyed meeting the actual people and her first mission going undercover at the Pharm but the events that transpired afterwards showed the less than amazing side of alien life and doing her type of job, the young Doctor then made her way towards a window. It was raining outside, she looked out at the City. Completely oblivious to everything that had happened in the world concerning alien life, despite the amount of times alien life had been discovered. The government put it down to drugs in the water or something to that extent but Martha and the select few people knew better, as she continued to look something caught her eye. Like a spark, at first she thought that was just the City lights cutting out. But as she took a closer look, she realized it was something different. Something dangerous…
"Its Doctor Jones, I think there's something that you should check out" Martha said in a flash over her communicator, she then threw it to one side and rushed towards the door of her office. Barging through it and rushing out into the corridor, almost colliding with a tall blonde man wearing a white doctors coat similar to the one that Martha was wearing.
"Martha what is it?" the blonde asked, with a concerned expression on his clean-shaven and handsome face.
"I saw something in the City, I don't know what it is. But it doesn't look natural." The medic said, as a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. 'Should I call the Doctor' Martha didn't know why she thought it, UNIT were more than capable of dealing with something at this level. But she must have thought it for a reason, a tingle filled her stomach, maybe this could be a big threat. Maybe UNIT needed the Doctor?
"I'm going down to speak to the technicians about it, you coming with?" Martha added.
"Oh I have a report to work on, fill me in later?" the man said with a gentle smile.
"Course see you later Jim" Martha said before rushing off
"What a woman, too bad she's got a fiancée." The blonde guy Jim thought aloud.
Half an hour later, Martha was sat in the backseat of a black jeep next to a blonde soldier woman who wore her hair in a bun. In the front were two man, a seemingly middle aged man with brownish grey hair and a younger man with black hair who seemed to be of oriental descent. The woman was called Clare or rather Lt Clare Moore, the middle aged man was always known as Sergeant Rupert Gregory and the oriental guy was called Tom Harris, he didn't have a military title he was just a technician for UNIT. Martha peeked out of the window and spotted another black UNIT truck driving alongside them presumably carrying more UNIT personnel sent to investigate Martha's sighting. She suddenly thought of the Doctor again, why? She thought? She had carried out dangerous tasks before alongside UNIT and Torchwood without needing him, why was her gut instinct telling her that she needed the Doctor now.
"We are under instructions to investigate Doctor Jones's sighting only, no reckless diving into the crossfire so to speak and getting London into a whole heap of trouble for the government to cover up yet again. Lt Moore and myself will accompany the personnel in the other jeep to secure the area, Mr. Harris you will discover what the anomaly is and find the root of the problem, Doctor Jones you will stay on standby incase there are any casualties or if there is any sign of alien life which we may have to eliminate.
"Eliminate?" Martha questioned.
"If there is an alien they may turn hostile, we can't always study alien life Doctor Jones. Sometimes its necessary to eliminate certain risks to the planet and ourselves." The Sergeant spoke, the jeep then pulled up nearby to where Martha made her sighting. The Sergeant and Lt Clare then vacated the vehicle leaving behind Tom and Martha.
"What do you think the problem is?" Martha said striking up a conversation to avoid an awkward silence.
"I think that it may be a rift or something, similar to rift in Cardiff that your Torchwood friends monitor." Tom said sounding displeased when it came to mentioning Torchwood, Martha noticed and pulled a silly face at him behind his back.
"Is it permanent?" Martha then added.
"I cant say for sure until I get a closer look." The man added whilst adjusting the glasses he was wearing.
"That's all London needs." Martha said with a forced laugh, this guy was a typical geek and he was boring her. His snobbish attitude towards Captain Jack and his team didn't improve her opinion of the technician. All of a sudden Tom received a transmission from his UNIT distributed communicator
'The surrounding area is secure, you are now able to run your tests.' A voice crackled
"See you later." Tom said turning round to face Martha before starting to climb out of the jeep.
"Can I come with you? I don't just want to sit around here. I can't see their being any medical emergencies." Martha asked nicely.
"Oh I don't know, you are the medical officer. Your job is to stay here like the Sergeant said." Tom answered.
"Oh come one, I've been in worst situations than this. I can handle myself, plus if the Sergeant gets in contact then I'll come straight back" Martha said with a little smile.
"Oh go on then, but don't get in the way" Tom warned.
"Whatever you say" Martha said with a grin.
Moments later both Tom and Martha were making their way closer to the rift, when all of a sudden an technical instrument Tom had fetched along with him started beeping.
"What's it saying?" Martha questioned.
"I'm not to sure yet, but this machine will be able to clarify if the rift anomaly is permanent or not." Tom said in an excited tone, the two then turned around at the sound of footsteps running up behind them. It was Lt Clare
"What the hell are you doing here, you were told to stay in the jeep" Clare said angrily.
"I wanted to help Tom investigate, now if you don't mind speaking to me in that tone. I am after all your senior officer." Martha said also sounding angry.
"It was the Sergeants orders" Clare said hissing.
"Well my orders are to get back to what you are supposed to be doing whilst I help Tom." Martha snapped.
"Mr. Harris is completely capable of carrying out this task on his own." Clare fumed, the two women then started arguing even more as Tom suddenly noticed the rift getting slightly bigger and bigger and bigger.
"Excuse me Lt Moore, Doctor Jones. I think you should see this." Tom said in a nervous tone.
"….. and furthermore, I shall be speaking to your superior." Martha said trying to sound posh, she didn't usually do this but Clare was getting on her last nerve. The two were completely oblivious to the activity the rift was doing.
"Clare, Martha. Have a look at this." Tom said almost regretting addressing the two women informally.
"What is it?" Martha and Clare both snapped, they both then turned around to face Tom who was now pointing at the rift in fear.
"RUN" Martha cried, the three of them then turned around to run but all of a sudden a dangerously high wind picked up. The wind blew Tom instead a stack of boxes on the dock where the rift was spotted, Martha and Clare however weren't so fortunate and found the wind wasn't actually wind but it was the rift sucking them towards it. Clare grabbed hold of Martha by the collar and attempted to grab onto a pole, her attempt failed however and the two women were both sucked into the rift. As soon as they had been sucked through, the rift closed almost instantly. Tom scrambled to his feet and peeked over to where Martha, Clare and the rift had disappeared from, the man looked shaken and silently mouthed the word 'shit'
After what seemed like an eternity, which probably was an eternity since the women had been sucked through a rift in space and time. Finally the rift coughed them up and slung the women into a field before sealing itself off behind them, Martha lay unconscious near a large tree trunk and the blonde Lieutenant lay a small distance away from the former time traveler.
In the distance, a tall brunette dressed in leather and short blonde woman dressed in a browny orange outfit appeared in a clearing between some trees next to the field. They spotted Martha and Clare both unconscious, gave each other warning looks and after climbing off their horse pulled out their weapons.
