"Torchwood. Outside the Government and beyond the police. Tracking down alien life on earth and arming the human race against the future. The Twenty First Century is when everything changes. And you gotta be ready."-- Captain Jack Harkness[/color] [/align]
[align=right]It’s 2007 and things are starting to change... rapidly and not for the best either. A so called rift has been growing over Cardiff and the rest of Wales for quite sometime, don’t get the wrong idea though, this ‘rift’ is nothing to do with global warming, this rift is an invisible but powerful tear in the fabric of reality and time that sucks all kinds of junk and beings into it then spits them out on the other side in Cardiff. The rift over Cardiff which once seemed to be mended and no longer a problem, is starting to tear open again dropping all kinds of extraterrestrial junk which Cardiff isn’t exactly ready for, most of the people who live there aren’t even aware there is something wrong, little do they know there are already people in place to deal with the problems the rift causes.
Introducing Torchwood. What's Torchwood I hear you cry. Torchwood is a repository for the accumulation and safe keeping of alien artefacts and beings that emerge via the rift. Earth’s first line of defence, the Torchwood team protects humanity from dangers threatening it, both from beyond the Rift and closer to home in a century where everything changes. Torchwood’s main branch was once homed in London until a great battle got underway in which the base was destoryed and most of it’s employees killed protecting England and indeed the world from the threat of alien invasion. The new Cardiff branch of Torchwood is led by Captain Jack Harkness, who knows that everything they discover is invaluable for mankind to survive what he believes is coming...
For the time being Torchwood has managed to go un noticed and even expand but surely it's only a matter of time before people start connecting those little dots. Every time something weird happens, this team burst in, push the police out of the way and take it over like it's exclusively theirs, it's just their way, they've never been good at quiet entrances, and their kind of right, it is exclusivly theirs seeing as how they are the only ones that know how (Or indeed want) to deal all the weird things that happen as a result of the Rift.
The press already thinks it's on to something and has started turning up on the scene of everything weird thing that happens before Torchwood even have a chance to get in the car! Will the people of Cardiff figure out what's going on right under their noses (With the help if the ever friendly media) or will Torchwood remain anonymous?
Not only that, ordinary every day people have started collecting the stuff that falls through the rift - well some of them are ordinary, some of them are actually collectors of this alien junk and will seemingly stop at nothing to get what they want, little do they know that Torchwood is now on their case making it a mission not only to prevent these collectors picking up anything else, but also to get back what these crazy collectors have already picked up. It's not as easy as it sounds though, first they have to find out who these people are and where they keep the stuff which leads to a lot of undercover work... Can Torchwood really cope with this new influx?
