Anyway, I digress. I glanced up at the Doctor, raising an eyebrow. "What did we miss?"
"This.." The Doctor raised a small test tube containing a thick black gloop.
"What is it?"
"Faleoap oil"
"And that is?" Jack's voice.
"That is toxic to humans.. And expands once it's anywhere near water.." Jack raised an eyebrow but decided it was best not to ask. Instead, he said
"Right, come on guys, to the SUV.."
A few minutes later we were all sat in the back of the SUV, the Doctor explaining what was going to happen (basically, he and I were going to be the ones collecting the oil and neutralising it with Hydrochloric Acid, as we were the only non-humans there) while I watched Cardiff pass us by.
The Doctor and I jumped out of the SUV, hand in hand, and made our way over to the meteor. I looked down at it, my eyebrow raised
"So.. where's this oil?"
"Here.. watch.." he took out his sonic screwdriver, and ran it along a crack in the large rock. The meteor immediately split in two and the same thick black gloop began to spill from it.
"Doctor.." I knelt down beside him, touching his shoulder before a small drop of water fell on my hand
"It's raining."
"Ok, we have to work fast.. We have roughly, oh, 14 minutes until this expands enough to absorb the whole of Cardiff."
"But you can stop it?" I asked him softly, glancing back towards the SUV.
"Of course. I'm the Doctor." he grinned, pulling out a small tube of concentrated HCl, which he probably shouldn't have been carrying in his coat pocket, pouring it quickly onto the gloop. It hissed, like a cat when you accidentally stand on it's tail, before shrinking, disappearing into a pile of black ash. Grinning, the Doctor straightened up and took my hand once more in his, and we headed back to the SUV.
Once we were back at the Hub, I decided to have photos taken with the Torchwood team. So, here's me with Gwen:
and with Ianto:
And finally, with Captain Jack:
Then, the Doctor and I went back to Jacowitz, but not before picking me up a new crown. Here I am modelling it:
