Thanks for all the reviews and sorry for all the mistakes. English is not my strongest subject. Also let me know if I get any of the technical things wrong. I don't know them as well as I should. Here we go again!

The silence that filled the hub was almost deafening. Jack stood there in shock, clearly not knowing what to do. He suddenly remembered that his team was still behind him when Ianto cleared his throat.
"Now that you know who I am you can help me find him now. Right Captain? You can help me find the Doc-"
"Let's go to my office. We can discus that there." The Tardis nodded, although she wasn't happy about being interrupted again. Jack walked towards his office and she started to follow, but Gwen stopped her.
"You're limping. What happened to your leg?" Gwen asked, pointing to the Tardis' left leg.
"Oh that. I ended up landing on the railing and fell. I've never had to stick a landing in this body before. Guess I need more practice." She smiled that massive smile and walked away, leaving a very confused Gwen behind.

"How can this be possible? I mean…" Jack trailed off. He was sitting behind his desk and the Tardis sat in one of other chairs across from him.
"I'm a machine and this doesn't happen with machines." She frowned.
"Well…"
"I didn't always look like a blue box. Yes, the ship you know is my first actual body, but I designed it. I've been here since the beginning, without a body. We existed purely as energy. It wasn't until the war that we became object. I helped the Doctor and his race become what it is. The Doctor never forgets that and neither should you. I am not a machine."
"Sorry. I didn't want to upset you. I just thought that because you were a ship."
"Everybody does." She sighed and sat back in her seat. "Sorry for getting upset. You had a right to ask."
"Let's start again. How'd you end up like this?"
"I don't really know. I remember we were on Levont 5, a small little planet that has a fabulous market. I was waiting for the Doctor to return, as usual, when all of a sudden there were these two men trying to get through my doors. I tied to stop them, but most of my defense system has been recycled for other more necessary things." The Tardis started to play with part of her dress. She suddenly found it hard to meet his eyes. "They got in. They broke in to my console and trapped me inside a small box. The next thing I know I'm waking up somewhere strange and I look like this. I managed to find and connect with you. Then I came here." She gestured to his hub outside his window. Jack just nodded and sat back in his chair thinking.
"How did you find us? Couldn't you have just found your old body? Or even the Doctor, why didn't you find him?"
"I couldn't. You were the only one I could find. I think it has to do with your wristband. It connects you to the time stream and your signal is incredibly strong because of the rift. I can still do certain things, like travel from place to place and pick up signals. The only problem is that is harder."
"I get it. I was the easiest to find, and the easiest to get to." The Tardis nodded her head and smiled. If anyone could help her find the Doctor it was Captain Jack Harkness. He had everything that she needed. Including the rift.
"Well Tardis," Jack brought her back from the thoughts, "what can Torchwood do to help?"
