Hello? [You can't really see much of anything for a moment, until Tosh pushes herself up into a sitting position on a pile of sand, fumbling for her device. She's been in better shape; right now, she looks exhausted, like she hasn't slept or eaten for more than a day, and she's been crying, to boot. Oh, yeah, and her clothes are ripped, dusty, and have bloodstains on them. She pushes her glasses up for a moment, pinching the bridge of her nose, before she begins speaking again.]

I have to say, this isn't what I expected. Though, after speaking with Owen, I'm not sure I expected anything at all.

[She scoops up a handful of sand and watches the grains fall through her fingers - then, because it's the scientific sort of thing to do, she takes another handful, sniffs it, and...yep, licks a few grains.]

Well, the sand seems ordinary enough. And what about this thing? What is it?

Torchwood. Do you know Jack? Though I imagine that if he's here, probably quite a few people know him, since, well, he's Jack.

[iwasherefirst]

[Tosh gets a big smile out of Rose.] Yeah, I know Jack. I used to work for Torchwood in a parallel universe. That's not how I know Jack though. I met him in 1941. Time traveler.

What you do at Torchwood?

[sadandsingle]

Really? Jack and I actually fell through the rift to 1941 once - we ended up meeting the original Jack Harkness, which was...well, confusing, to say the least.

I'm the tech person. I handle security, computers, things like that.

[iwasherefirst]

There's an original Jack Harkness? [Well the Doctor did say he wasn't really a captain. Rose had just assumed that was jealousy talking.]

I was there with the Doctor. Jack rescued me.

That's got to be interestin'. Never really understood all of the tech things m'self.

[sadandsingle]

Yeah, he was an American serving with the RAF in Cardiff.

The Doctor? As in Jack's Doctor, right?

I love it - experimenting with alien artifacts is the job of a lifetime for me.

[iwasherefirst]

I had no idea. Doctor did try to warn me he wasn't a captain.

Oi! He was my Doctor first. [Bit of jealousy and possessive coming out there but she grins and nods.] Same Doctor though.

You woulda love this placed Doctor and I stopped once. A whole museum full of alien artifacts. A Dalek got loose and they ended up lockin' the Doctor up and torturin' him but it was brilliant 'til then.

[sadandsingle]

[Just wait till she runs into Nine and realises she's met him. :o] Well, I'm just more used to Jack talking about him, that's all. Not that he's ever talked about him much, just...mentioned him in a cryptic sort of way.

It's all fun and games till someone gets tortured - or till you nearly get eaten by cannibals, I suppose.

[iwasherefirst]

[That'll be fun. She ought to hug him but then Rose thinks everyone should hug Nine.] Sorta the way you tend to talk 'bout the Doctor.

Oi yeah that sorta ruins all the fun. Sounds like you've got some experience there.

[sadandsingle]

Ianto and I got captured and nearly eaten once - not really one of the highlights of my career.

[iwasherefirst]

Had to be excitin' though. Bein' rescued and runnin' and the like?

[sadandsingle]

Well, rather more terrifying, to be quite honest.

[Sorry, Rose, it was traumatic. :C]

[iwasherefirst]

Everyone got out all right, yeah?

[No apology necessary. Traveling with the Doctor has given her a twisted sense of 'fun']
