CHAPTER 11 - THE ZYGONS WHO FELL TO EARTH

Private Jenkins was waiting in the barn for the return of the team all night. That wasn’t particularly hard for him; he’d been suffering from chronic insomnia ever since his fateful encounter with the Sontarans. Besides, he had his iPad with him, so he could play Alien Invasion ( Read more... )

Author’s note: Details about Zygon history are taken from the TARDIS Wiki, with small alterations. I only use canon facts established until the end of the Tennant era, as I haven’t seen anything else beyond that.

Author’s note: For this chapter - and the previous one - I used the scene from the second series episode of Sherlock BBC, “The Hounds of Baskerville”, as a template. I even borrowed a few lines of dialogue from the episode. However, as you’ll see, this is a completely different scene, when everything is said and done.

CHAPTER 07 - VISITATIONS

It was early evening when the teams - sans Sally and her two Privates - came together in The Fox Inn again to evaluate what little they had been able to learn. And it was depressingly little indeed ( Read more... )

Author's note: The facts about Dr. Arnold's team are taken from the TV-movie trilogy "The Autons", so they are kind of canon. Only that I kept the team members alive.

Author's note:The village Dúnadh has nothing to do with the actual Dinnet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland - I’ve just borrowed the name.

CHAPTER 05 - AT THE FOX INN
They left Torchwood House early in the morning. Prince William left at about the same time, heading back to Balmoral Castle; not before promising to meet ( Read more... )

Author's note: Yes, I'm a shameless fangirl of Il Divo in general and Urs Bühler in particular, too. There are worse hobbies. *g*

CHAPTER 04 - THE MYSTERY OF TORCHWOOD HOUSE“So, what have you learned?” Lloyd asked, after they’d packed files and artefacts meant for Torchwood House into the vans and were on their way to the very cradle of Torchwood ( Read more... )

Author's notes: The Torchwood Two Headquarters has been modelled after Pollok House that really exists in Glasgow. I chose it as a template because it is old, impressive and so very different from both Torchwood One and Three. The Pollok Park Beach is real as well. Both are only templates, though, not the exact copies of the real thing ( Read more... )

Author's note: The family background of Private Jenkins has been completely made up by me. His father is probably the only original character in this story.
