[Locked to Torchwood and Annie Cartwright]

[themanclion]

For those of you who haven't been paying attention to the news, there's something out there killing coppers. Reports say it's a wild animal.

Me, I think it's interesting that there's a wild animal that's man-sized and walking upright, for all they say it moved like a cat or dog or something. Also interesting that there's been a rash of unexplained comas in the area.

Sounds like something's come from the Rift.

Cooper, Tyler, if you lot don't already have somebody on this, I want this one. Someone ought to be doing something about this bastard, at any rate. And I want Cartwright working this with me. I don't know if either of you's bothered to hire her officially, and after what happened with yours truly, I'm not assuming a bloody thing, but she's a good copper, and we're used to working with each other.

And if anyone else wants in on this, assuming we get everything cleared with our respective bosses, let me know.

Knowing the Rift, I'd bet it's something through the Rift, and... the way things are now, I don't have a full team to work on it. We'll hire Annie, and she can work with you on it. If you need anything in terms of tech support, talk to Tosh or Marshall - Marshall's probably not as busy as Tosh at the moment. If anyone else would like to help, they have my permission, and if you'd like to ask anyone specifically, Ianto and Daniel should be free.

Good luck - keep me updated, and let me know if you need anything more.

Thank you for that, ma'am... I'll be keeping you posted, then, and I'll get word to the two you mentioned.

Thank you, ma'am. It's good to be able to help. I'd be all muddled without something to do.

Getting word to me won't be necessary. I may not be terribly suited for fieldwork, but I'll gather what information I can on the matter. I'm assuming you're not completely used to 21st-century policing, and Torchwood's used to having resources the police don't. It'll be no problem at all to tap those for you, if you like, and I can talk to Marshall about seeing if there's anything to be found on what CCTV Chicago has.

And as much as I'd ordinarily tell you to piss off and not tell me how to do my job, in the interest of catching this bastard, fine then. Go on and impress me.

God knows I've missed a few things in the past 30-odd years.

[yantoe]

Terribly gracious of you.

I'll just get back to you with what I find, then, shall I?

It could be something or someone that doesn't know what harm they're doing, though in my experience it's very rarely that innocent. Even if by some miracle that's the case, it needs to be dealt with by someone as soon as possible, and if you're already making plans, I'd be happy to assist.

[themanclion]

I'd be glad of the help. I take it you're used to dealing with things like this?

[egyptiansoldier.livejournal.com]

Very much so. My previous posting was at a mostly military base in a neighboring galaxy, and most aliens aren't as friendly as science fiction would like them to be. This particular creature sounds rather close to a species my people have been at war with for several years now, actually, though I'll be very surprised if it actually is a Wraith.

Let me know when everything's ready to go.

[themanclion]

Good to know. I'll be the first to admit that I've got no idea how to deal with most things that aren't human. All I know is that someone's got to do something about this thing.

You know better than me about anything we're doing, say so.
