A/N: This is a random story that will probably turn out rubbish as I am making it up as I go along and don't have a clue what could happen. This means this could (and probably will) end up having loads of fluff and angst in it and may have more mature content but at the moment it's just a random Primeval story.

Nick Cutter stood with a slightly bemused look on his face. His student-now-turned-colleague, Connor Temple, was talking nineteen to the dozen about some new device he'd built to help with the never ending studying of the anomalies. Well, to him and his small team the anomalies were mysterious and wonderful, but to a certain James Lester and a few other people they were about paper work and danger, two things that were hated by all government officials but always had to be dealt with.

Instead of being polite and waiting for Connor to finish his rambling, Lester interrupted him. " We don't have all day. Rather than boring us to death with your explanation on what you made it with, could you be a good sport and tell us what it actually does." Lester indicated to the mess of wires and circuit boards on the table in front of him. It looked like the contents of a computer geek's room had been put in a blender to make the contraption.

"Oh, well, urm, it basically reads the magnetic field of the anomaly by surrounding it by its own magnetic field." Connor was at first thrown off by his boss' directness but soon managed to put together a simple explanation. "It's pretty simple really. When the polarity changes, it'll either repel or attract the AMM. That means Anomaly Magnet Machine. Cool name eh?'

"

If you say so," Lester replied drily. "How exactly is this contraption of any use?"

"If we can figure out how the magnetic field of anomalies works we might be able to close them. Not just block them, but actually make them disappear again. If we can do that, we may even be able to open anomalies." Connor replied excitedly, a smile spreading across his face, making him look like a child in a sweet shop.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Cutter suggested. "This is all only theory right?"

"Well yeah, but it's a good theory." Connor said defensively, his smile faltering. He brought up his fingerless-gloved hands in a defensive manner, about to say more when an alarm sounded through the ARC, and flashing lights gave the room a red tinge.

"Anomaly," Cutter stated.

"Really? I thought it was just the lunch bell," said Lester sarcastically, seemingly tired of people stating the obvious. The three men walked over to the ADD, Connor going straight to the controls.

"Urm, Lester, how good are you at getting us into high security places?" Connor asked slightly worriedly. At that point Stephen, Abby and Jenny walked into the main room to join them at the ADD.

"I'm excellent, why? Nice of you to turn up by the way," he added to Stephen and Abby who hadn't been seen in the ARC all morning. They didn't bother replying.

Connor turned to look Lester in the eyes.

"The anomaly's at Buckingham Palace."

That's my first chapter. I hope it's good. It's my first fanfic. Please review. I'd love for you to review (: Constructive criticism and suggestions welcome too. Thank you
