Explaining Torchwood is harder than Rose realized. Seeing as she usually had to avoid letting people know much about it.
"Queen Victoria founded it in one universe to protect humanity from non-humans, advance humanity, further the sciences and explore where angels dare not tread. In my Dad's universe she got eaten by a werewolf, but the werewolf was being used by a human cult, so it's also about protecting other species from humans, because we can kind of screw things up, you know? But the exploring the universe and furthering the sciences is the same in both."
Rose rubbed the back of her neck in thought. "So faeries do exist in my universe and the Doctor's. But they're giant assholes. They try to lure away loners and get them to join, because they don't reproduce, and they get magic powers for it and stuff, but they have to abandon their families and friends and only be one with the fairies. Um, my Dad's Torchwood dealt a lot with cybermen, because his company before he became director of Torchwood were responsible for making them, but he dealt with a lot of other non-human species too. Some peaceful, others not so much. Toshiko was one of Jack's team, and she was a scientist that uncovered how these other aliens called the slitheen created a hoax using a pig and some advanced technology to pretend to be a crash landing to scare humans into fighting each other. Everyone's department is a little different, but I was thinking how they'd give you so much wild impossible things to photograph, yeah? Ghosts, UFOs, faeries, pretty much anything that came through the rift, for sure."
