The cave was completely silent. Located in the middle of South Downs national park, the Tetraps who's set up there picked a perfect location for peace and quiet. However, with the new trails being built close to their home and several hikers arriving in hospitals with bleary eyes, it was declared they needed to be approached and either asked to relocate to another forest or to another planet. UNIT wasn't sure when they had arrived, having been peaceful up until now, so they were hoping this would be more of a diplomatic mission. Now the UNIT First-Class team were waiting for their leader's signal as she walked through the cave to neutralize the two Tetraps that had attacked them the previous day. Despite having poor eyesight and slow movements, with four ears facing in every direction neutralizing with the whole team would have been impossible so it was decided the most experienced and high-ranking member of the team would go in alone.

Rose Tyler was nothing if not agile from her years of working with the government, both this one and her previous one, so she didn't break the silence once as she walked towards the upside-down, asleep aliens. Lifting the tranquilizer, she was hoping to neutralize and then detain the aliens on a ship and send them off before waking, but apparently some people didn't know how to follow orders.

*RING*

"ARGHH!" Both Tetraps swung down and landed on all fours, the fur on their backs standing up and their teeth barred at the intruder. For her part, Rose didn't hesitate to shoot the tranquilizers at the now conscious aliens, her team flooding into the cave for backup.

*RING*

One of the Tetraps, the female by look of her eye, was hit by the tranquilizer but pulled it out and kept advancing on Rose, while the male avoided getting hit and moved faster than his mate to grab a hold of Rose and throw her against the wall. Before impact however, Rose twisted and hit the wall feet first, bouncing off of it and landing in a crouch, throwing her back-up plan to the feet of the Tetraps and watching the Portable Prison spring up around the aliens and slam shut. With the steel bubble set to contain them for the next hour, all the UNIT First-Class team could hear now was the Tetraps howls of outrage and the ringing of their leader's phone.

With her own growl of outrage, Rose wrenched out her mobile and answered, not needing to see who was calling when she only had the one contact. "What?" She demanded, stomping out of the cave and giving her team, filled with men and women she had hand-picked, the trust to finish the job while she dealt with her nuisance.

"I need you to head over to Dartmoor immediately, let your team finish up the work with the Tetraps without you," The man's voice filtered through the phone while Rose climbed into the truck and slammed the door behind her.

"I've already finished the job, however next time, read the debrief I give you on the aliens I'm dealing with. Maybe then you'll know not to call my mobile while I'm dealing with sound-sensitive creatures!" Rose snapped into her mobile, putting it aside while Mr. Mycroft Holmes began speaking about things more important than her files on aliens, a speech Rose Tyler had heard many times before and was in no mood to hear it again.

While she let Mycroft drone on about how important he was, Rose gave orders to her team she was leaving behind, ensuring the aliens were kept safe and sent off with no more problems. When she picked the phone back up, she was surprised and a little satisfied that Mycroft had stopped talking and realized she was ignoring him.

"Are you quite done?" She asked.

"As, I was saying, it appears that the Baskerville facility has not had an inspection since the last world war and I'm sending you there to get it done."

"That's not my job," Rose snapped once again, her bad mood growing worse with the length of the conversation with Mycroft. "I work in the field, send one of your goons to inspect it."

"Ms. Tyler, do you know what Baskerville is?" Mycroft said in that condescending tone she hated.

"Of course not, but you knew that already so why don't you tell me, I'm in no mood to indulge you today, Mycroft." Rose took a tight turn off the dirt road she had been driving on, and started racing down a paved road, headed in the direction of Dartmoor.

"Baskerville is a Military Defense research base."

"Once again, not my area," Rose said, both her and Mycroft having had several heated discussions on her view of defense and his.

"No," he gave one of his famous deep sighs before continuing. "But the facility is more research than it is defense and one of the things it researches is extra-terrestrial beings."

"Researches them how?" Rose tested.

"That is why you are being sent to give an inspection."

"You're giving me free rein over a Military base that hasn't had anybody to report to for over a decade?" Rose clarified.

"Yes."

"What did you do?"

Another deep sigh could be heard over the phone. "Ms. Tyler, you are most qualified to give a complete inspection, that is the only reason I am sending you to Dartmoor."

"That's nice. So what do you want from me?" This time, a grin spread over her face when she heard the third sigh of the phone call- she was close to breaking a record.

"I expect a full report on the findings of the inspection and when you return to town we will have a meeting over where Baskerville research should be headed. Have a good day, Ms. Tyler."

"You as well, Mycroft, do try to get up and walk around the office some. A diet can only go so far." With that Rose hung up and released a howl of laughter, pulling onto the highway and driving towards Dartmoor, interested to see what Mycroft actually wanted Rose to do. Giving her a facility full of people to torment could only mean he had other plans for her she would like even less than doing an inspection.

As she drove through the semi-familiar land, Rose tried to pick out all of the differences from this universe, and the two others she had been in, a game she played often to keep everything straight in her mind. It was harder to see the differences in this universe than in her old one, but the differences from Pete's Universe and this one were always easy. For one, this new universe didn't have Zeppelins or a President. The only obvious difference the new universe has against both of Rose's previous universes, was the existence of aliens in the universe and on Earth was still a secret from the general public. When she asked Mycroft how they had managed it for so long his answer was "the only person capable of seeing through my cover stories finds the news too ordinary to pay attention to and reads nothing but the criminal news and the agony column." He was, of course, talking about his brother, Sherlock Holmes, the one man that made this universe so very different from the Original Universe.

When she arrived in the Sherlock Universe, as she had started to refer to it once she discovered the famous detective was in fact real here, she was alone without a job or history. For a week she managed to walk around London learning all the different streets and shops before attracting unwanted attention. It had of course been an accident, but despite her training and expertise in handling aliens, Rose Tyler was still Jeopardy Friendly and managed to walk into an attempt to capture a Wirrn. Having seen the human sized insect in Pete's universe, Rose stopped the UNIT team from endangering the queen of this pack of Wirrns, resolving the issue peacefully- something UNIT had never seen before.

Rose managed to escape from the UNIT team when they tried to bring her in, but no one stays away from Mycroft Holmes for long and by the end of the week, Rose Tyler was sitting in front of his desk making a deal with the man behind the British Government. She would work for UNIT, doing field work as well as training, and Mycroft would provide her a background, a living, and refrain from asking questions about her past. The last part of the deal was broken almost immediately once Mycroft realized Rose had no past to ask about, but the deal was quickly put back into place and Rose found that though the eldest Holmes brother was trying on her nerves, they understood one another, worked well together, and they both knew they needed one another for their own benefits. For Mycroft, Rose offered her expertise and for Rose, Mycroft offered safety in an unknown universe.

It was with these thoughts that Rose knew Mycroft was not sending her to Baskerville because it was secretly going to end up being field work, he would always give her all the information before sending her to deal with a dangerous alien. Instead, he had to be sending her to do a job he needs done by someone he can trust, but won't admit it to anyone, most especially her.

So Rose drove along the southern border of the United Kingdom towards Dartmoor, putting more trust in her sense of direction than she should have. With the Unit First-Class team, she had spent most of the day preparing to capture the Tetraps, so it was well into the night that she pulled into a gas station looking for directions.

After she parked her jeep next to a fuel tank, Rose checked her mirrors to discreetly take in her surroundings and noted only one other car was in the parking lot with two men near it. The tallest of the two stayed in the car, while the other man got out to pay the gas. Rose could tell the taller, dark haired man in the car was not interested in anything outside the car, and the shorter fellow appeared harmless, if more observant than most as he was also taking in the surroundings. When Rose opened her door, both men looked up but dismissed her quickly while she walked towards the gas station's store.

The store seemed to be closed, but there was a young man sitting behind the cash register, occasionally glancing at the security screen next to him. When she reached the doors and tried them, she wasn't surprised to find they were locked.

"We're closed, if the tank isn't taking your card try another!" The boy shouted from inside, not even glancing up from his device.

Rose sucked in a deep breath to reel in the Tyler Temper, and found enough strength to smile at the boy. "It's not that, I need directions." She had to raise her voice to be heard through the glass doors, and felt both of the men's attention return to her at the volume but it finally got the boy to look up. It didn't help much though because he just pointed to the closed sign.

"Look, lady, we're closed. Read the sign. Get your gas and go." The boy dismissed Rose once again and looked back down. Rose released a rather loud growl of frustration and banged on the glass doors once before turning away and stomping back to her jeep. She could have picked the lock, was thinking she should have, but not with an audience.

Before she reached her jeep, however, her pathway was blocked by the short, slightly greying hair man that was fueling his car up a minute before. Rose stopped short to avoid barreling into him, and took a step away, not out of defense but to observe her subject now that she was closer. Her earlier observation of him being harmless was wrong, though he was at the moment, she recognized the solider stance. He had fought, not as a soldier, but he had still seen combat and been wounded in war. Though she saw no limp, while he stood in front of her he favored one leg heavier than another, but the injury seemed focus more on his shoulder than his leg.

Aside from his previous involvement in whatever war was being raged in this universe, Rose could feel the addiction to adventure she felt as well. There was no evidence she could find on him, nothing that read runner or troublemaker, but she knew he was for no other reason than she felt as though she had met a kindred-soul and after years of traveling with the Doctor, she learned to trust her instinct on people before she trusted her observations of them.

"Hi, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but over hear you needed help?" The man observed, giving her a concerned look that she vanished with an easy grin.

"Yeah, I really thought I could make it to Dartmoor without any help considering all the signs and it is a National Park and all, but I've just got too much confidence in myself apparently," Rose explained. She glanced towards his car and noticed his friend sitting in the passenger seat looking rather impatient. "But don't worry 'bout me, this'll be no where near the hardest situation I've gotta get out of."

"No, I can't just let you drive off without knowing where you're going!" The man exclaimed, he too glanced behind him and took in the sight Rose saw. "Look, we're not from around here either, we're visiting from London for some work so I've got no idea where we are." Here, Rose grinned at this man and he grinned back. "But we're headed to Dartmoor as well, and we've got a GPS in the car. You could follow us if you'd like?"

"Oh, that would be fantastic. Are you sure that's alright?" Rose inquired, biting her lip.

"Can't have you driving around lost and in the dark, now can we?" The man smiled and offered his hand. "I'm John by the way."

"Rose," she answered, grasping his offered hand, watching as he pulled out his phone.

"Do you mind if I get your number?" He asked, grimacing and beginning to stutter when Rose lifted an eyebrow at him. "Er, no not like that! .. I mean not that you're not pretty but I just thought -in case we get separated- I can get a hold of you and help you get back on track."

Rose's laugh put John at ease and she smiled, but didn't move to take out her phone. "I think I'll be alright, there aren't a lot of cars on the road."

"I insist, if you're worried I'll bug you later for a date or something, I promise to delete the contact once I know you're in Dartmoor," John pushed, giving an honest smile to encourage Rose, but she still hesitated. Mycroft would not be happy with her if he knew she was giving out her number, especially if she gave her name with it, but he got her into this mess so...

"Alright, you ready?" She asked, beginning to tell John the numbers. "Got it?"

"Got it." Just then, his friend honked and they both turned to see him scowling at John. "Better go, he's likely to throw a tantrum."

Rose laughed and patted John on the arm. "I've got a friend just like that, John, so I'll save you from whatever lecture he is preparing and head over to my jeep. Thanks again!" John laughed with Rose and headed back to his own car.
