Gwen,

Sam's spotty when it comes to his mobile when he's out after something. I can't imagine he's going to be checking his journal. I can take the second SUV out to warn him, if that's all right.

I think it might be a good thing for you to meet the rest of Torchwood, at some point. If you'd like to come over, we're on the corner of Wabash and Lake. I can meet you outside and let you in.

Sorry. Torchwood are my employers. They're aware of angels and demons and the sort.

Why not. I don't seem to be making much of a difference around the hotel any more. I may as well see what I can do for Torchwood.

Is it just me, or has the rate of new Wanderers dropped off?

Well, they've got us all quartered in individual rooms in the hotel. I've been in and out of the basement; a lot of the Wanderers don't seem to think it's very safe, though it only seems a bit grim, to me. I have to admit, I was having a better time of it when they actually had some use for me. I'm not sure who's picking up and orienting the Wanderers who come through now, but they haven't seen fit to call me in for it.

I'm more than a little bored.

On the plus, I think I've got this shifting thing mostly down.

How is your life these days?

I can't believe that no one would have thought of this before, but is there any reason we don't have something set up to alert us when someone comes through the rift? Some sort of motion-sensor, or a bell like a shop entrance? So far, finding new arrivals has been mostly happenstance.

Why isn't there any command structure here? Or at least an oversight structure? I've just had to explain to one of our new arrivals, a Major General in the Egyptian Armed Forces, that there are four people here who could be considered to be in command, and the two who are invested in being in command have been butting heads at every opportunity.
