I worked at Torchwood London, originally, but it was destroyed. I was one of the few survivors, and I didn't really know what to do. I had all that in my head, you know? Watching people die and I just, I don't know, I couldn't walk away. So I moved back to Cardiff and got Jack to give me a job. Had to capture a pterodactyl before he'd even consider it, for the record. [That's leaving out a lot, like only wanting that job to find a way to save his partially converted Cyberman girlfriend, or sleeping with Jack to stop him from getting suspicious or all the people Lisa had killed when she finally had lost control or watching Jack gun her down. That's private, and it's always going to be because she had been too important to him to be reduced to a horror story like that.]
How about you? I'm assuming your job had slightly more regulated hiring methods?
