Victoria nodded and looked at the ground when he told her to slow down. "Other Torchwoods?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Can you do that? No offense, but I can't entirely picture the UN caring what you said" She said. "Mainly because you aren't, you know, high up or anything. Unless being the leader of Torchwood is enough" She said. She listened to what Tabitha and Jake said, then sighed and followed Jake to the SUV.
Victoria started jogging to the SUV like Jake was. "Geez, lots of Rift activity today" She muttered to Jake. "I can drive" She joked to Jake, referring to the fact she wasn't the most responsible driver.
Aaron blinked at Emilia. "Did you just say there is rift activity near the Hub?" He asked her, clearly not liking the idea of that. Mainly because he was just the coffee guy afterall.

Tabitha smirked and chuckled slightly saying "Hey I could totally be mistaken for a guy in this, so that is that theory out the window. Look at her though, she wouldn't be that cute if she didn't want to attract people like me." she laughed and said "This isn't Sverige, it isn't that cold here, so you don't have to wear it." she shook her head and said "Let me put it this way, you look like someone out of a Yaoi manga, oh and don't bother asking, yes that means gay." she looked at the coat and asked "Really? You know what, if your ever in America, go to the Castro, and see how many coats look like that."
She nodded to what Victoria and Jake said and said "Well even with UN support wouldn't that make this public, most governments will refuse to acknowledge bad things happening, is there like a Torchwood China or something that might be easier to convince." she followed to the SUV without breaking a sweat, she seemed to be in really good shape. She quickly got in the back.

"She does know you're a girl," Jake said, raising an eyebrow. He then looked at Emilia,"She could just naturally look like that," He said. He knew her better then Tabitha, and knew that she wasn't the flirty type until she met someone who she actually wanted to flirt with. "You should try standing outside in the morning, it gets pretty cold," He said, shaking his head. He just shook his head and rolled his eyes at the rest of what she said.
"Yeah, other Torchwoods," Jake said,"Torchwood London is rebuilding, and Torchwood four is out there somewhere," He said. He nodded,"The UN knows about Torchwood, and trust us to protect them from Alien threats. If they don't listen to me, what would be the point in them having started Torchwood?" He then looked at Tabitha,"No, not that I'm aware of, anyway."
Once everyone was in the SUV, he drove to the HUB fairly quickly.
Emilia looked at Aaron, then back at her computers. She'd kind of forgotten that he was there. "I think...more like IN the HUB," She said, frowning. She didn't notice anything, but the computers were detecting it.
(A few minutes later) Jake pulled up outside the HUB and hopped out of the car, jogging to the HUB and heading inside.
By the time they got back, a faint purple and gold haze could be seen. The Rift seemed to be letting something through, but slowly. Emilia had her gun in her hand and was watching the haze carefully.
Jake came in and looked at the haze,"Let's hope it's nothing to bad," He said, pulling out his gun.

Victoria nodded to what Jake said. She nodded again to the next thing, and also shrugged. "I have no clue. That would be pretty stupid" She said, laughing a bit. She just frowned at what Tabitha said, afraid that what she said would be right. And likely it would be, because humans were stupid at times.
When Victoria got in the SUV she leaned against the window and bit her nails nervously. It was just kind of something she did naturally when she was nervous.
Aaron twitched uncomfortably at the idea of something showing up IN the Hub. "Oh great" He muttered. "Well, hopefully they get back before we are alien food" He joked.
(A few minutes later) Victoria followed Jake into the Hub at the same pace as him. When she came in, she saw the haze and let out a little gasp. "This is the same type of colors I saw when the demon man left" She said. She pulled out her gun and pointed it at the Rift, waiting in case something happened.
Aaron was just hiding in the Kitchen where he made coffee, or wherever it was he made coffee. He saw the Rift thing and it just sort of freaked him out. Since he was the coffee guy, he wasn't used to actually being anywhere that had Rift activity. But he did pull out his gun and point it at the Rift thingy.

Tabitha laughed and said "Hey come on, I could pass for a guy I mean if she wanted a guy." she looked over at 'tech girl' and said "Geez if she really just looks like that all the time I will really have to steep up my flirting, I mean she is pretty isn't she?" she rolled her eyes and said "May I remind you I am from Sverige, it is freezing like 24/7 so I bet you I could stand out there in the nude longer than you could in a shirt."
She leaned against the window as they drove along, she was worried, her sword would be rather useless. She knew she needed to get a gun quickly so she would feel more useful.
(Minutes later) Tabitha walked back into the hub and sighed, she felt even more useless then before. She looked at the rift and unshealthed her sword and held it and muttered "Why did I have to loose my gun?" she was ready to intercept anything that got past the guns. She did look at the others with their guns and felt guilty for losing her gun. She stood next to Emilia so she could be heroic and save her if need be.

"I think it would be hard for her to think of you as a guy if she already knows you're a girl," Jake pointed out, shaking his head. "Well, she's looked like that every day since I've known her, even when I first met her and Retconned her." He didn't answer her question about her being pretty. He then shrugged,"I kind of doubt it."
{When they get to the HUB} After a bit of standing there pointing their guns (Or sword) at the Rift haze, it pulsed and gaze out a quick flash of light before disappearing. In it's place stood a man, about 25 years old and average height. He had blue hair and deep blue eyes, and was wearing black pants, a black leather jacket over a white shirt, boots, fingerless gloves, and, most distinctive of all, a large black cape.
As soon as the Rift energy faded, the man collapsed on his knees. Apparently coming through the Rift had taken it's tole on him, but as soon as he looked up and saw the guns pointing at him, he jumped to his feet and pulled out a futuristic shotgun and pointed it at them. "Put your guns down," He said, his voice carrying the authority of a police officer.

Victoria stared at the Rift haze for however long it took for the dude to show up. She blinked when the person who came out did come out, because he seemed...normal, and she expected something a little...scarier. She really didn't seem to think that this guy would be a threat, at least in some evil bad way. Maybe in a good way.
As soon as the man collapsed onto his knee's, Victoria put her gun back into it's holster. She let out a gasp when she saw the futuristic-looking shotgun. She had already put her gun down, so she just stood there with a worried look on her face, hoping everyone would listen to the command.
Aaron blinked at the man that came through, thinking he didn't seem very threatening. I mean, he looked kind of badass. But otherwise he just looked kind of like a dude, not some alien. Maybe he was just some dude from the future. Or a different dimension. He shrugged.
When the man collapsed, he continued to point his gun at him in case he tried something. When he stood up and pointed a futuristic shotgun at them, then told them to put their guns down, he did so and then put his hands in his air unlike Victoria did. "Are we under arrest?" He asked, noticing the mans police officer-sounding voice.

Tabitha shrugged and said "I could act like a guy for her though, actually I think I would be willing to act like a lot of things for her, she is just so pretty." she smiled and said "Wow that is even better." she sighed and said "Sweden is a lot colder than England, and I have from north Sweden."
(After the rift event) Tabitha stood in awe and thought 'human, or alien?' she then sheathed her sword figuring with a gun like he had she wouldn't stand a chance. She then steeped in front of Emilla, trying to look brave and protect her and said "I am commander Tabitha Von Gustav of the Empire of Sweden, controller of Earths main armies." she actually seemed a really accomplished liar, and even a polygraph test would have a hard time telling her lies from truth. She hoped that the others would realise that she was trying to negotiate with this alien. She then pointed to the shotgun and said "Weapons are not needed."

He shrugged,"You could try," He said, kind of sounding like he was just saying, not actually thinking it was a good idea. He just sighed at what she said about that being even better. "Depending on how long you've been here, there may be the possibility that some of your resistance to cold has gone away."
{Rift stuff}
Jake watched the new man carefully. There was something about him that made him feel that he wasn't a threat, but he could never be to careful. He didn't really feel like getting shot with a shotgun, though, so he lowered his gun, and nodded to everyone else to do the same, though they already kind of did. He let Tabitha take care of telling him lies, since she was good at it.
Emilia lowered her gun, then looked annoyed when Tabitha stepped in front of her. She shoved Tabitha out of the way, a clear sign that said she didn't want protection.
The blue-haired man lowered him gun when they did, but still held it. He looked at Tabitha as though she was crazy, then looked her outfit up and down, and then looked at her like she was even more crazy. "You think you can fool me with such bullshit lies?" He asked, raising an eyebrow,"For one, you don't look like a commander, two, What the heck is the Swedish Empire? There was Sweden, like, 50 years ago, then the was the Swedish Lunan Empire, which is gone now, and there's the Swedish Biodomes, but there was never a Swedish empire, and Earth's army doesn't have one person controlling, and even if it did, it wouldn't be a Swedish commander," He clearly thought she was crazy, but looking at their guns, they were really kind of old-school. He shook his head, still slightly dazed from traveling through the Rift.

Aaron looked at Tabitha and blinked, then chose not to pay attention to what she said. She turned back to the commander dude who also in his opinion blabbered, and said, "Who are you? Some dude from another dimension? You look kind of badass" He said.
Victoria also kind of looked at Tabitha like she was crazy, but said nothing on the subject. She mentally laughed when Jake nodded for them to lower their guns, but said nothing. She sort of just ignored most of what was happening, watching this strange man. "Who are you?" She asked in a more calm way then Aaron, and not so much in a "DUDE YOU LOOK AWESOME" way.

(After rift so they don't go on forever) Tabitha looked taken back "How do you know I'm lieing?" though she said it in a way that didn't admit her guilt. She looked at her outfit and asked "What the hell do you mean? This is a dress uniform, it represents the tradition and monarchy of Sweden." that part was actually true. She looked at him like he was crazy "Would you trust me if I was wearing an Apollo space suit? Luna isn't colonized you idioten, it is a hunk of rock in earth orbit, it has no empires or biodomes." she looked at his shotgun and said "Look I'm a doctor, why don't you set down the gun and I will make sure you didn't hurt yourself from the rift."

Jake just listened to everyone else, figuring this guy was probably from the future.
Emilia also just listened while checking out his guns. They were pretty high tech, and she wouldn't have been surprised if his shotgun could take them all out at the same time.
The guy looked at Aaron, looking surprised, but it was hard to tell if it was because of what he said about another dimension, or if it was because of him asking who he was. "Commander Nathan Hawke of the Galactic Police Force," He replied, frowning. He ignored what he said about him being badass. He'd heard that more then enough. He thought it was kind of weird that the blong haired girl that looked young was asking him who he was after Aaron already did, so he didn't answer her.
He looked at Tabitha,"Because everything you said is bullshit," He replied. He also looked at her outfit, then back at her face,"No one wears them anymore, it's nearly impossible to find them," He said, but he sounded less certain. "Yeah, I would...more, anyway. It would help if you didn't tell lies, and told me who you really are." He looked almost shocked when she said that Luna wasn't colonized. There's no way that she would be stupid enough to lie about something like that. "W-What year is it?" He asked faintly, putting one hand on his head. He was beginning to feel kind of dizzy.

Aaron just nodded to what he said about being a Commander of some Galactic Police Force. It didn't make any sense to him, so he just didn't really feel like asking more out of him. He also kind of wondered why Victoria asked the same exact thing he did, but said nothing. He didn't really pay attention to the conversation between Tabitha and the dude, because he kind of just zoned everything out.
Victoria nodded at what he said his name was, and thought of introducing herself but changed her mind and just kept her mouth shut. She took note of the fact he said "Commander of the Galactic Police Force", but didn't say anything on the subject.
Victoria ignored most of what was said between Commander Nathan Hawke and Tabitha. She raised an eyebrow when he seemed so surprised that Luna wasn't colonized, because that seemed like a weird thing to be surprised about. "2012..." She said quietly, raising an eyebrow again. She noticed he seemed to look dizzy, and she asked worriedly, "Are you okay Commander Hawke?".

Tabitha frowned the this so called 'Hawke' and said "You don't look like a commander either, but your actually right I'm not, I am a Medical Doctor from Sweden, my name is Tabitha Von Gustav M.D. I didn't lie about that." she figured sense he lowered his gun he didn't really want to kill them. She looked at him crazy when he said he would trust her more if she was wearing a space suit and muttered "Someone watches a little too much Sci-fi." she shook her head when he asked the year, it made sense that he would have come from the future if she had thought about it. She shook her head at Victoria and said "Year of our lord Jesus Christ Two thousand and Twelve. There are a dozen calendars." of course that just ment that it was the normal (for us) for the year, but actually saying it how you are supposed to say the year. She looked at him and nodded to what Victoria said and asked in a concerned voice "Nathan, would you like to lay down?"

Jake and Emilia still didn't really do anything other then listen and look concerned when Hawke looked dizzy.
Hawke reached into the inside of his jacket and pulled out a badge that said who he was, and that he was a commander. He put the badge back in his pocket and nodded,"Now that I can believe...kinda," He said. He frowned when she said he watches to much sci-fi, but said nothing, thinking that she was just kind of weird. When both Tabitha and Victoria said it was 2012, he blinked, then sat down on the floor slowly, feeling kind of faint. "2012..." He muttered. Part of his didn't believe them, thinking it was impossible, but the logical part of him said it made sense. They had lame ass guns, they all acted like he was insane when he talked about the moon being colonized and all that. He shook his head slowly,"I think that may be a good idea," He said to Tabitha.
