Jack towered over the hub's conference room table, a map detailing Cardiff sprawling over its form. On it were several labels with various color codes, each detailing a time and date along with various events that were connected to each other over the last few weeks. Jack cleared his throat and glanced to the other members of Torchwood that accompanied him. "I'd like to thank you all for being here." Harkness began, his charming and confident aura showering words with the seriousness of a battle hardened leader.

"Not like we have a choice in the matter." Owen mumbled, legs propped up against the table. Toshiko glimpsed at him for a brief moment. "What is it?"

"Nothing…" Toshiko quickly shook her head.

Gwen narrowed her eyes at Owen, both amazed and not surprised at Owen's casual demeanor that didn't seem to phase given the seriousness of what Jack was about to say. "Oi." The Welsh woman snapped. "Get your feet off the table, yeah? Jack's trying to speak and you causing a distraction isn't going to do us any good now is it?"

Ianto balanced a tray carrying cups of tea that he began distributing over the table, doing his best to hide a shared smirk with Jack. "Since when did you get so eager to hear what I have to say?"

"Since you got me into this whole mess." Gwen smirked, joining the others for a seat. As of late The Rift's temporal shifting was out of shape. Some sort of leak in the mainframe of it all was spewing Weevils and other pests around the city. Almost like it was trying to distract them.

"You all know why I called this meeting. Activity has been-" Jack froze, his ear sensing through the hub a sound that brought hope and sudden exclamation in his tone. "Doctor?" His words were surprisingly silent. Jack ran out of their conference room and into the computer area, his steps coming to a halt when spotting the TARDIS directly in front of him.

The door creaked open, and out stepped The Doctor whom rubbed the back of his neck with his eyebrows raised. "Ello Jack!" He greeted with a calmness to his tone. "What seems to be the problem?"

"What are you talking about?" Jack didn't know why The Doctor would be here. He hadn't come here to refuel since the whole thing with The Master.

"Your distress call, I got it right here." The Doctor revealed his psychic paper, words that clearly displayed a call for help over the paper.

"What distress call? We're fine." The others followed Jack, standing a good distance from The Tardis.

"This is him?" Gwen speculated. Jack mentioned a man called The Doctor several times in the past.

"Yeah. Did any of you somehow manage to send a distress signal to The Doctor?" Jack turned around to face the others only to receive a look of confusion.

Toshiko spoke up. "Oh, uh. I think I might know something about this. I have something to show you, Doctor," This earned a glance from the others.

"Lead on then, shall we?" The Doctor beckoned politely with a cheerful tone. "Allons-y!"
