Torchwood One: Machines

Torchwood One - we defend the British Empire. We keep everyone safe. For your own good. Something's happened. Something's twisted its way into Torchwood One. Something old. Something which should have been forgotten, wiped, abandoned. Something which has been waiting. Something which knows how the world should be ruled, how people should be used. When humanity's threatened, Yvonne Hartman is required. Torchwood One was first referenced in the hugely-rated modern Doctor Who stories Army of Ghosts and Doomsday. This is a second look at the London-based team before those events after 2016's Torchwood One -Before The Fall. Contains three stories: The Law Machines by Matt Fitton.
