"What alien technology have we discovered?" Ianto questioned when he walked onto floor three with Owen and Rhys. Yukki and Matilda were currently sorting all the technology into different piles according to potential use e.g. dangerous or harmless.
"A load of crap I bet" Owen said flopping down onto his chair.
"Correctamundo, most of this is advanced cooking instruments" Yukki answered.
"Well accept this, we are not sure what it does" Matilda said picking up a small metal container which had three metal buttons on the side and a red screen on the front.
"What is it?" Rhys questioned taking it from Matilda and giving it a quick look before handing it over to their expert.
"It is a device which my kind use on anaemia individuals, it can recover every memory which has been lost, forgotten or repressed however the only side effect is... it overloaded the individual's brain because it made the individual remember everything... Rhys put this into the secure part of our archives please" Ianto explained the device purpose before handing back to Rhys.
"Well, now that is cleared up anyone for an omelette" Owen joked picking up an object which looked like an alien frying pan.
"That is a kettle Owen" Yukki answered.
Yvonne did not wait until the others had disappeared before heading towards another lift with Torchwood three behind her.
"So, what is this problem you need help with?" Tosh questioned as they stepped inside the elevator.
"We discovered something and no one is sure what it is? I was hoping with your experience of Aliens by what can be thrown at you through the rift in Cardiff that you must have some idea what it is" Yvonne answered. The elevator doors opened revealing a long dim corridor, there were only a few Torchwood individuals around wearing white lab coats and looking at coded documents.
"So Captian Harkness, what can you or your team tell us about this?" Hartman said before pressing a card against the scanner before walking through the doorway revealing a large room with computers either side and at the furthest end, suspended was a large sphere.
"You must be Torchwood Three, I am Rajesh Singh" Rajesh said walking over to the newcomers.
"Captain Jack Harkness, this is Toshiko Sato and Gwen Cooper, I am guessing this is what you wanted us to see" Jack introduced them to the Torchwood researcher.
"Correct, we have no idea what it could be and there is no record in the archives of anything similar to this in Torchwood History, hence why we are asking other members of Torchwood institutes whether they have seen anything like this before" Hartman answered as Jack moved towards the sphere to take a closer look at it.
"I have never seen anything like this before" Tosh said in awe as she started using her PDA to scan the sphere.
"Incredible" Tosh muttered when she received the same results as the rest of Torchwood One working on this project had.
"What is wrong with it?" Gwen asked looking slightly uncomfortable.
"What makes you think there is anything wrong with it?" Rajesh questioned.
"I don't know, it just feels weird" Gwen replied.
"We have no idea how but it upsets people because it exists even though all our state of the art technologies keep saying that it does not exist" Rajesh stated.
"So captain, any ideas?" Yvonne asked.
"No clue but whatever it is, to be able to trick the machines, it cannot be anything good" Jack said.
"Yvonne, the next ghost shift is going to start in ten minutes we need you up here" a voice said to Yvonne through her comms device.
"Thank you Matt, I will be up there shortly" Yvonne answered before saying "the ghost shift is to start soon, Rajesh should be able to keep you comfortable and out of trouble until I can get back here".
"That is impossible" A familiar voice said from behind them, Jack turned to see the girl from earlier staring directly at the sphere.
"Do you know what it is?" Rajesh questioned as the girl commonly referred to by another member of Floor 3 as Agent Ugh walked towards the sphere.
"If this exists then we are in a whole lot of trouble, there are only a few species with the technology to build it" Agent Ugh muttered completely ignoring the stares she was receiving from others.
"I have to tell Yan" Agent Ugh said before darting out of the room. Jack shouted after her then he took off running after her with Yvonne, Tosh and Gwen following behind him.
Yuki ran through the corridor nearly pushing past the others whilst she ran towards the stairs, she could hear the footsteps of the others chasing after her but she was not going to hang around to deal with the mess Torchwood One and Three could potentially put themselves in if the alien currently residing in the void ship ever got out.
Jack ran up the stairs in hot pursuit of the girl who was currently two levels in front of him, the others were trying to keep up but the floor three agent and Captain Jack were slowly getting further and further away from them. Yuki reached the wall where the door for floor three would have been and pressed her hand against the hand scanner hidden in the wall, after it recognised who it was, Yuki spared a glance to Harkness who was running up the last part.
"Noo" Jack shouted as he watched the door shut before disappearing.
"Where is she?" Gwen asked when the others appeared beside him.
"Lost her, the whole of floor three is closed off, whatever is happening on this floor, they are doing everything to ensure no one finds out" Jack stated.
"What are we going to do? That girl had the answers to what the sphere turly is" Gwen asked.
"The ghost shift is going to start soon, so as we are near the top you might as well come and see what it is all about" Yvonne said before she continued up the stairs with Jack and Gwen following after.
"Toshiko" a faint voice said from behind her, Tosh turned around to see no one there.
"Jack" Tosh muttered as the door to floor three reappeared before opening revealing the same man from earlier - Ianto Jones.
"Toshiko Sato, one of the most accomplished Torchwood Agents to exist" Ianto said as Tosh entered the floor, her eyes widened at the size of the room, it was obvious that Floor Three and Torchwood Tower were only connected through the stairs and the lift, the floor was three times larger than any floor she had originally been on whilst being at Torchwood One, Tosh turned around just to witness the door shut behind her.
"What do you want from me?" Tosh asked.
"What do you know about the void?" Ianto questioned.
"This ghost shift, what is it exactly?" Gwen asked as they walked into Yvonne's office.
"There was a radar blackspot so we build Torchwood Tower to reach it when we opened the breach the sphere came through and the ghosts appeared after but we could use the breach as a massive source of energy and then we would never have to rely on the others we would become independent" Yvonne explained.
"That sounds like Torchwood One, they do anything damn the consequences, we have no idea what the sphere is and from what that girl said it can be nothing good and these ghosts could be anything but no you do not care, as long as your name is remembered for some idiotic idea then your pleased like I said before consequences be damned" Jack argued.
"I am in control of Torchwood One Harkness not you and if you do not agree with my way then you are more than welcome to leave, we do not need your assistance anymore" Yvonne snapped.
"Jack... umm... where is Tosh?" Gwen said, Jack's head snapped up and turned to look for his other agent. Tosh was nowhere to be seen.
