Well it’s the 1890's just
before Her Majesty Queen Victoria retires from public life for the last time so
that others may take over the Royal duties for the kingdom. Back then the
organization of Torchwood that her majesty had set up was hidden beneath the National
Museum long before it became situated at Canary Wharf. But the Cardiff hub was
itself already in place and its head, one Captain Jack Harkness, that's me by
the way, was right there when the trouble ensued.
Her Majesty was arriving
for a tour of inspection and was also there to make a decision on whether the
organization itself would continue or be disbanded and closed for all time and
everyone was determined to make sure that she would be impressed enough to let
things continue as they are, that things wouldn't go wrong.
Well we all know how that
turned out now don't we?
Just before her arrival we
were in the middle of conducting an inspection of an alien sarcophagi with
occupant for the files when Her Majesty arrived to conduct her inspection.
That's when things started to go wrong almost immediately. While I, Captain
Harkness was entertaining Her Majesty, Archie, head of this section of
Torchwood was attacked by the occupant of the sarcophagi. Believing the alien
dead little security precautions had been taken during its study.
Unfortunately, the creature was still alive and sucked most of the life out of
Archie before escaping into London.
From Torchwood base to
Hyde park to the slums of the city and the underground train system Her Majesty
along with myself went on the hunt for the creature. The alien though it would
never be identified at the end, as it would die at the hands of the elderly
people in the underground, at Her Majesty's request, was supposed to provide
some unknown person with eternal youth, when it would be used to suck out the
life of the young and fit and bestow it upon the unknown person. The creature
would not suck the life from the old infirm or elderly which Her Majesty came
to realise was the key to killing it.
After the successful
completion of this adventure I, Captain Jack Harkness returned to Cardiff, and Her
Majesty returned to the palace and retired from public life.
Torchwood continues to
this day to protect humanity and Earth from alien incursion. The populace forgot
all about the alien due to a multitude of rumours and the sarcophagi was stored
in the Torchwood archives.
