AN: This is just Tosh's recruitement due to flowiness and plot change Tosh will not be turned until later in the fic. Again I own nothing but the plot and OC!Aiden, constructive criticism is more than welcome.
Jack sighed, looking around his office, Suzie had been working with him for a month now, and while she was good at her job he knew she didn't have the right mindset to become a member of his coven. They had been running Torchwood, just the two of them for a month now, and they really needed more staff, he'd been requisitioning UNIT staff for the past five years since he had taken command, but he really wanted to build his own team.
This prompted a hunt through UNIT's files to try and find people he could coax away from them with promises of a better life at Torchwood. It was while he was scouring the files UNIT kept that he found note of a case regarding a young woman who had been arrested by UNIT and locked up in a secure facility, for stealing plans from the Ministry of Defence and creating the device the plans specified. She had given the device to some terrorist cell of some sort, deciding to take a closer look he went through the files with a fine toothcomb, finding out that she had been dealing for her mother's life, not something that UNIT took into account.
Looking through the files he noticed that she had been in UNIT custody for eight months already, deciding that he wanted her, especially after finding out that she had made a sonic modulator with faulty plans. Duly impressed, he began to make arrangements for UNIT to release the woman in question, Toshiko Sato, into the hands of Torchwood Cardiff, leaving Suzie in charge he made his way to London and the UNIT holding facility.
He was glad that even with all the UNIT help he had had over the last five years that UNIT still owed him a multitude of favours, getting them to wipe Toshiko Sato's record clean and releasing her into his custody was almost too easy. Getting Toshiko to agree didn't take much either, she had the choice of working for him and having her record cleaned, with limited contact with her family or living out the rest of her life in a UNIT holding facility with no contact with anyone.
Upon arriving back in Cardiff, Jack arranged a place for Toshiko to live and gave her a few weeks to get herself back into a more healthy state, the meals in a UNIT prison not being anything close to five star, in fact it could be said that they were the exact opposite end of the spectrum. After a few weeks in which she had time to get her personal life together a bit, she began her work with Torchwood, being trained by Jack and integrating herself within Torchwood and learning all she could.
Jack, Suzie and Tosh (as her name had become within a few days of working with Jack), worked well together, they were of course still on the lookout for more staff, they couldn't function completely with a core of only three, it was impractical. But for the time being Torchwood Cardiff exists as Captain Jack Harkness, Suzie Costello and Toshiko Sato.
