The Long Game

Queen Victoria suspected that this Captain Jack Harkness was a rogue, but he had knowledge of use to the Crown. He was an American adventurer. They were all rogues.

"You have visited other planets?"

"Yes, ma'am," he answered respectfully. Someone twittered. Victoria glared. There was silence.

"You have known aliens?"

"Intimately, ma'am."

A scoundrel, with an amusing glint in his eye. She ignored it. "You have met the Doctor."

"I have, ma'am."

"Very well. You may help me set up Torchwood for the glory of the Empire."

The clever blue eyes raised themselves to meet hers, smiling. "My pleasure, ma'am."
