It had been a quiet week at the hub. No major problems. Jack was relieved, though it would have been fun to chase aliens around Cardiff. But that didn't seem like it was going to happen. Jack was sitting on his own in his office. He was IMing TorCHarley, Torchwood's number one enemy, on MSN. They had had a fun week, trying to stop a parasite from killing their whole village. Jack sighed. To be young and surrounded by aliens, those were the days. It was almost ten o'clock. TorCHarley signed off to go and watch St Trinians on DVD. Just then Ianto came through the door.

"Jack, we need you," He said, "Something's happened." Jack got up from his desk and followed Ianto to Mickey's desk.

"What's going on?" Jack asked.

"Unusual rift readings," Mickey replied, "Something's appeared practically out of nowhere."

"Like what?" Jack was concerned.

"Dunno, a spaceship, maybe." Mickey was looking at the area by CCTV.

"Not our usual blue box then," Jack laughed. Ianto gave him a worried look. Mickey and Martha both stifled a giggle.



"Once again, I have no idea what you're on about," Gwen said.

"No," Mickey continued, "Whatever it is, it's much bigger and it seems to be invisible."

"Well come on, one thing for it. We're going to the site."

Ten-Thirty on a Thursday night was usually quiet. A few people were standing about. None of them looked to suspicious. Suddenly a young girl collapsed. Jack and the rest of the team ran over.

"Are you alright?" Martha asked her.

"I'm fine," The girl replied, in-between deep breaths. The girl shut her eyes. She was unconscious, according to Martha's diagnosis. The girl looked about twenty-one. She had obviously dyed honey-coloured hair. The girl was tall and pale. She looked ill.

"Let's take her back to the hub," Jack said bending down to look at the girl. She looked kind of familiar.

The girl was lying on the autopsy table, still unconscious.

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Martha asked Jack.

"No idea, scan her for alien tech," Jack suggested as he turned around and went back to his office. TorCHarley was back online. She had gotten bored watching the film and wanted to annoy someone from Canada.

After Jack had gone, Martha was on her own in the autopsy room. Well, there was the girl, but she seemed totally out of it. The girl's eyes started to twitch. She was waking up.

"Who are you?" the girl whispered in a shaky, gasping voice.

"My name's Martha Jones. I'm a doctor. I'm here to help." Martha paused. "What's your name?"

"Lilian." The girl had a faint Welsh accent.

"What happened to you, Lilian?" Martha asked her.

"I...I have no idea." A flash of worry came across Lilian's face. "What's wrong with me?"



"We don't know yet," Martha replied. The girl blacked out again and Martha left her.

"The girl's name is Lilian," Martha announced.

"Are you sure?" Jack said, "She could be lying. I once had this friend who could fake that she was about to die."

"I don't think so, Jack." Martha stared at him. He also seems to know someone who could do something. Last week it was someone who could somersault off of a moving car.

"Well, we're did tests for alien tech and she has something inside her."

"Like what?"

"No idea!"

Away from the team, in the autopsy room, Lilian was awake and waiting for her cue.
