UNIT : 2011 (Pilot) - Act 1

Act 1


UNIT HQ London, a letter arrives on the desk of Captain Jake Talbot's desk.  The rain clouds outside, present concerns to the young man who is only 29 and one of the youngest captains in UNIT.  He had agreed to take the two new member's of his team into London to meet some friends.  It had been a long time since Jake had actually got out of the UNIT office's and was determined to enjoy himself.  Since nearly a year ago, Earth was finally recovering itself from Davro's and the Dalek's attack on Earth.  Normality was finally resuming, but UNIT had been busy doing a lot of damage control, finally things were calming down.





Jake held the letter in his hands for a few minutes before placing back on his desk.  From his face he had recognised the writing.  "Why now," he thought to himself.  He stared out of the window.  The rain had started to come down harder.  People scattered from the streets heading inside to keep dry.  He returned to his desk and sat back in his chair.


Jake was a young handsome man, a small goatee beard, short brown hair, handsome looks and a smile that had won him many an argument, along with blue eyes, he had also manage to break a few hearts along the way.  But was a sincere young man, well educated and learnt quickly hence reaching captain in such a short time.  Nine months ago, not long after the events with the Daleks, Jake was ordered to take commend of Command Unit 1, an elite  team of agents that would work to defend and track aliens.  Unlike Torchwood, this team would work with in the law.  Jake had been nervous of such a role, but agreed to do his best and so far had done well to work with his team.


He looked at the letter again, written was his name Jake Talbot, underneath written Do not open till 6th May 2011.  He knew exactly who it was from and although he had only met him once, that once was enough.  he slipped the paper knife through the top of the envelope and took out a letter.  It was hand written Mr Talbot, Unit is needed at the following location, Harthill, Cheshire.  You will know when you arrive what you will need to do.  Mr Talbot, be careful.  Regards D .


He placed the letter down and buzzed his secretary,
"Georgia, call the team together, we have been summoned."
"Under stood captain."
He looked back at the letter.  "Okay Doctor, what have you found for us this time?"
