Part of my duties in the day-to-day operation of Torchwood includes scanning The Internet for mentions of aliens, monsters, temporal disturbances, and that sort of thing. About half the time it's total crackpots, and most of the rest of the time it's Luke Smith's Myspace. Apparently you don't get genius without a certain lack of discretion coming along for the ride.
Once in a while we do get a legitimate hit, but ordinarily I just have to entertain myself with various webcomics and the stranger, seamier underbelly of the Internet (nothing compared to the seamy underbelly of our sofa these days). Today I decided to entertain you with some of my findings as well.
For example, we are monitoring "
Sam Brown" as a possible alien/time traveler. Aside from having a suspiciously ordinary name, he appears to be fascinated with robots and robot dogs in particular. And we all know where robot dogs lead. Additionally, he appears to have met Captains
Jack Harkness and
John Hart.
Talking of, Hart, I think you've been holding out on us.
Are you really running a boutique out of the Hub? "Pencil" case my arse, we both know what that's really used for.
Andy reminded me of the simple pleasures of a biscuit this morning. Some people just make biscuits
too complicated.
Biscuits, webcomics, and aliens. It's a strange life, but it could be worse. There could be no coffee!
