Just getting too many plot ideas at the moment. I saw [livejournal.com profile] tw100 On The Run, so of course my brain provides something that is in no way, shape or form going to fit in a 100 word drabble.

The idea being.

Tosh managed to avoid being caught by UNIT (as happened in Fragments backstory), she then lived under the radar/off the grid whatever you want to call it for about three years. She makes her money by being a hacker for hire. One of these jobs involved some alien tech, but Tosh isn't aware of that at the time.

Soon after she becomes aware that somebody is tracking her on the net. The person isn't a skilled programmer, but they are obviously very clever, very persistent and have access to some very high end tech. Assuming its UNIT still after her Tosh, is about to run again, maybe set up in a different country, when she's found.

It's not by UNIT though. The person tracking her is Suzie Costello, who's been asked by Jack to find her and offer her a job at Torchwood. The reason behind the job offer is that an alien artifact that Jack and Suzie had been tracking down was one that Tosh had, via one of her hacking contracts, hidden from them. They need her to help get it back, because it could be dangerous in the wrong hands and they want somebody as skilled as Tosh on their side.

Suzie explains to her what could happen is the tech is not recovered. Tosh agrees to help get it back, but doesn't initially say she'll join Torchwood. They then work together to get it back, and Suzie and Tosh then take the alien artefact back to Torchwood 3.

They aren't long inside the Hub when an alarm starts to sound. Owen runs up out of the autopsy bay shedding a goo covered lab coat as he goes and Jack hurries out of his office coat in one hand, gun in the other.

Tosh asks what's happening. Basically is some strange technological thing has come through the Rift and is causing problems. Jack says some technobabble, says if they had a 'insert complicated bit of tech here' they'd be able to solve it a lot faster. Tosh says they could do it using a type of program to takeover some piece existing technology. Jack says "this is why we need you. Are you in?" Tosh says "yes." Jack - "Suzie get Toshiko logged into the mainframe. Owen you're with me." Jack reels off what he needs Owen to do Owen grumbles that they still need more staff.

Tosh and Suzie left in the Hub. "Is it always like this?" Tosh asks. Suzie, "No, usually it worse."

Tosh looks at the tech and computers that are now hers to use. She thinks she's going to like working for Torchwood.




So yes another plot idea. Who knows when/if I'll get round to writing this one. I might though as it's probably only about a 5-6k word idea.

Best Tosh canon ever

Love the idea of Tosh outsmarting UNIT and surviving by her wits a la Bourne or Bond -- only with computers.
