Well.

I don't think anybody was ready for that.

But we could be.

Starting today, I'm keeping a video diary on my computer. I'm going to document everything I remember about arriving on the island, basic facts about everyone I know, an account of every crazy thing that's happened here. It's going to play automatically every time my computer boots up. The next time some psychotic, disorienting event takes place, I'll have already briefed myself about the possibility.

I'd suggest everyone make a similar record.

[Private to Steph.]

Apparently I grow up to be an idiot.

I can handle that.

Is there a paycheck associated with this job? If so, I'll scale back my hours as a stockboy.

And while I can't guarantee that they'll be interested, I know... other qualified people in town. I can talk to them, if you're interested in more new hires.

It's more of a volunteer job at the moment. We'll be operating outside the police and from within it... so it might be hard to call what we do, "legal". But as we grow and expand, it's definitely something I'll be looking into. I can't expect you lot to blindly do something like this with no form of compensation.

It's less a job and more a ... mission You've got more resources than I have on my own; so I'm in. But I admit, I'm used to having more of an operating budget than the island allows.

Well, I dunno about resources just yet. It's still very much in the bare bones of it. I hope to get up and running properly in the next few months.

And believe me, I know what you mean about the budget. Not having CCTV is going to be a pain, but maybe there's a work-around with the traffic cameras or something.

People are resources too. Space is a resource -- even if it's empty.

Believe me, not having to work out of my bedroom is going to be a treat.

If you need more money to get set up, I have about $1200 saved for my own operations budget.

As for the traffic cameras: not a problem. I'm far from comprehensive coverage, but the external cameras almost anywhere except on official government buildings are only a keystroke away.

Well we've got plenty of space that isn't used for sleeping and lounging, though a lounge isn't a bad idea. I couldn't ask you for your money out of good conscience, you being a student and all, but I wouldn't refuse a donation, because every little bit helps in this situation.

You're really serious about wanting to help out, aren't you? I like that sort of dedication, and really believe that you're going to be a wonderful asset to Torchwood.

This isn't exactly a new line of business for me... just a new format. Yes. I'm serious.

Rather than donating, let's make a list of what we need and see how far we can stretch the available funding, first. Budget by triage.

We can do that if you like, but please, don't feel obligated to use your money, though I certainly appreciate it. I might need to pull Jenny in to see what she's got for us as well.

We'll network.
