'''Orr''' was a genetically engineered [[sexual psychomorph]] created on [[Sorva]].  
'''Orr''' was a [[Sorvan]] [[sexual psychomorph]] and a member of [[Torchwood Three]].


== Biology ==
Created by [[Sorvix]] [[genesmith]]s, Orr was given by [[Ro-Jedda]] to [[Vincent Parry]] as a gift and saved from a [[bomb]] by [[Jack Harkness]]. They joined Torchwood and supported [[Yvonne Hartman (Pete's World)|Yvonne Hartman]]'s takeover, later becoming [[God (Future Pain)|God]]'s new herald and gaining her powers for a time and using them to thwart [[the Committee]].
Members of Orr's species were quite rare. They were genetically engineered from several species by military scientists. The intention was to create a being that would morph into any form according to the desires of the person in its company because it would be hard to kill a person one sexually desired.


Orr was [[Gender|neither male nor female]] and could change their form quite drastically, including increasing size and mass, changing skin colour to black or blue, changing the type and shape of their genitalia ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') and even creating a working elevator within their body. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Superiority Complex (audio story)|Superiority Complex]]'') After staying in close proximity to one person, Orr could perfectly reproduce the appearance and voice of someone they loved or desired. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') At least once, Orr mimicked several individuals simultaneously ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'') They reacted to most sentient beings, whether humanoid, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') parasitic ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'') or inanimate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Superiority Complex (audio story)|Superiority Complex]]'', ''[[A Kill to a View (audio story)|A Kill to a View]]'') They also reacted to non-sexual desires, such as religious desires of groups of people. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|Herald of the Dawn]]'') The changes in their body were subconscious and could not be easily controlled. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'') Flirting with the object they were reacting to was also a reflex though it could be tempered. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'')
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Orr was birthed by [[genesmith]]s ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'') on [[Sorva]] and served as a [[courtesan]] to a number of unpleasant individuals. They spent some time in a relationship with [[Orr's partner|a partner]] of the same species, changing to meet every sexual whim of the other before settling down. Aside from that, Orr described their life as always being lonely. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'')
 
Whilst on Sorva, Orr was "acquired" by [[Ro-Jedda]]. They fled with the [[Sorvix]] to [[Cardiff]] through [[the Rift]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') [[Orr's first human owner|Their first human owner]] was a [[woman]] who ran a [[dot-com]] and liked them to talk about complex [[mathematics]] such as [[Langton's ant]] whilst wearing [[rabbit|bunny]] [[ear]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zero Hour (audio story)|Zero Hour]]'') They had a number of unpleasant owners. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'')
 
=== Sorvix in Cardiff ===
==== New friends ====
Ro-Jedda gave Orr to [[Vincent Parry]] as a gift. They took the form of his late first wife, [[Catrin Parry|Catrin]], and pretended to be her for weeks at [[Parry Estate|his estate]]. They wore a [[control necklace]] with the potential to the destroy the city to keep them from leaving and they swam in it every day.
 
When Ro-Jedda had Parry killed, they went to [[Cardiff Airport]] to flee the city, dressed in a [[burqa]]. They were taken by [[Jack Harkness]] and [[Tyler Steele]] to [[the Hub]] where [[St John Colchester]] tried to remove the necklace, as did [[Hatch (Orr)|Hatch]] in his shop. They then had Jack drive them to the [[Brecon Beacons]] where the detonation would not kill anybody but themselves, but the necklace did not explode ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') thanks to the intervention of [[God (Future Pain)|God]] in the future. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thoughts and Prayers (audio story)|Thoughts and Prayers]]'')
 
Orr returned to Cardiff, which Jack said was their home. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') They helped Torchwood investigate [[Sorvix]] deaths in [[Cardiff Bay Intelligent Hotel and Spa]], being more able to fit in thanks to them being a Sorvan. Their unique physiognomy was crucial to uncovering that the hotel itself was the real culprit as their body developed a working [[lift]] and they tried to reason with the hotel, giving it the name "[[Resine]]". After the hotel was stopped, Jack told Orr that they would be seeing a lot more of what Torchwood did. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Superiority Complex (audio story)|Superiority Complex]]'')
 
==== New mayor ====
[[File:Jack, Orr and Tyler.jpg|thumb|left|Orr with Jack and Tyler. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[God Among Us 1]]'')]]
Orr joined [[Ng]] and [[Andy Davidson]] in investigating bodies with no identifiable cause of [[death]]. At the [[mortuary]], they encountered Jack and examined the bodies before Orr had a [[seizure]] and repeatedly changed forms. They were taken back to the Hub where [[St John Colchester|Mr Colchester]] was able to calm them down and where they realised that their seizure was caused by [[Parasite (Love Rat)|the parasite]] responsible for the killings. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'')
 
Orr supplied Mr Colchester with a [[report]] on [[Zaheed Shah]] and went with Jack to help Andy with a Sorvix hostage situation after having a painful reaction to the [[Ritz Tower]], which [[Bilis Manger]] was used to channel human [[aggression]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Kill to a View (audio story)|A Kill to a View]]'')
 
Orr helped Ng and Tyler by looking into [[Deliverables]] and working out what they were up to, remembering [[Langton's ant]], and [[nanny|babysat]] [[Anwen Williams|Anwen]] whilst Ng went out to stop the operation. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zero Hour (audio story)|Zero Hour]]'')
 
Orr identified that Andy had shot [[Refugee (The Empty Hand)|a refugee]] under the control of a [[quantum splice]]. Alongside Ng and Mr Colchester, Orr confronted Jack about how Torchwood was being run. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Empty Hand (audio story)|The Empty Hand]]'')
 
==== New leader ====
Orr found the [[fireworm]] that [[Yvonne Hartman (Pete's World)|Yvonne Hartman]] placed inside [[Xander Vaughn]] and, using it, exposed Jack's involvement with him and [[Red Doors]]. They chose to stay with Torchwood after Yvonne took over. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Poker Face (audio story)|Poker Face]]'')
 
On orders from Yvonne to draw the attention of [[the Meme]], Orr went onto [[social media]] and [[trolling|trolled]] in order to make themself [[hate]]d. Whilst successful, this resulted in them passing out due to their empathetic powers. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Tagged (audio story)|Tagged]]'')
 
Orr met with Jack in the [[hospital]] after he was unable to prevent [[Red Doors]] from [[bomb]]ing [[Cardiff Airport]]. They told him that he had to take down Red Doors and, to that end, joined him and [[Bernstein (Herald of the Dawn)|Inspector Bernstein]] in raiding their bases. However, they were empty. After identifying that Ng was not [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]], Orr drove Mr Colchester and Tyler to the hospital but stopped to question worshippers about [[God (Future Pain)|God]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Herald of the Dawn (audio story)|Herald of the Dawn]]'')
 
Mr Colchester had a [[heart attack]] in the car and died. God reached out to Orr and found them fascinating, showing them what she wanted. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Future Pain (audio story)|Future Pain]]'')
 
=== God on Earth ===
==== Meeting God ====
Orr joined Jack on his hunt for the [[plasmic psychovore]] that they mistakenly believed to be God and went with him to [[St John Colchester's funeral|Mr Colchester's funeral]]. They destroyed the psychovore by transforming into itself and having it feed on its own future pain and caused embarrassment and confusion for [[Colin Colchester-Price|Colin]] when they changed into Jack's form in his presence. They convinced Jack to return to Torchwood, being concerned about Yvonne and her motivations. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Future Pain (audio story)|Future Pain]]'')
 
[[Brent Hayden]] believed that Orr, whose name he believed was Core, attended a [[speech]] that he gave and spoke up in support of him due to their [[empathy|empathetic]] powers, being told off by Jack afterwards. He also [[dream]]t that they fell in [[love]] with him and that they died in his arms after betraying Jack for him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Man Who Destroyed Torchwood (audio story)|The Man Who Destroyed Torchwood]]'')
 
[[File:Orr Night Watch.jpg|thumb|right|Orr with Tyler. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night Watch (audio story)|Night Watch]]'')]]
When [[predator (See No Evil)|a predator]] shrouded Cardiff in [[darkness]], Orr and Ng remained in the Hub, unable to see. When Orr began to grow the predator's teeth and feel its urges, they realised that it was in the Hub with them and told Ng to run. [[God (Future Pain)|God]] appeared to them and took them with her for a talk. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[See No Evil (audio story)|See No Evil]]'')
 
God tasked them with looking after those put to sleep by the [[Night Sun]] and with absorbing the [[light (Night Watch)|blue light]] which came with it. They did so, following God's directions to Tyler, Yvonne, Mr Colchester and finally to Jack. God then offered to show Orr her love, which they accepted. They were overwhelmed, screaming before turning into a puddle. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night Watch (audio story)|Night Watch]]'')
 
==== Becoming God ====
Months later, Orr was living in a tent where they pondered their new identity and powers, as they no longer transformed into others' ideal sexual partners but into who they wanted to see the most. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Mother's Son (audio story)|A Mother's Son]]'') Unbeknownst to them, God was transferring her powers to them as they were the only one capable of truly loving her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thoughts and Prayers (audio story)|Thoughts and Prayers]]'') They were approached by [[Bethan Foster]] when they took the form of her son [[Anthony Foster|Anthony]] and was later forced to leave the tent after being bombarded with visitors wanting them to do the same. Bethan told Tyler about Orr, leading him to call Jack. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Mother's Son (audio story)|A Mother's Son]]'')
 
Reunited with Tyler, Orr told him how much he had changed and told him that he had indeed saved a life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[ScrapeJane (audio story)|ScrapeJane]]'')
 
[[File:Orr Day Zero.jpg|thumb|left|Orr on Day Zero. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Day Zero (audio story)|Day Zero]]'')]]
On [[Day Zero]], Orr used their new powers to create safe drinking [[water]] which they and Colin began to bottle and dispense to the people at [[Ritz Tower camp]]. Orr suffered when the people burst the pipes and, due to the people's selfish actions, they stopped doing so, instead causing [[rain]] and making the people feed on the world rather than themself. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Day Zero (audio story)|Day Zero]]'')
 
Mr Colchester and Ng tried to get Orr out of the city as their powers were bringing about the end of the world, but they were arrested by Andy, who revealed that he was working for Jack and took them to the Hub. God attempted to take her powers back from Orr through [[sex]], but was unable to, after which Yvonne used the [[Lens]] to direct Orr's energy through the [[dimensional bridge]] to destroy the Committee and [[Erebus]]. The two were saved from the collapsing Hub by Jack and Orr joined him, Mr Colchester, Ng and Tyler in going on the run. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thoughts and Prayers (audio story)|Thoughts and Prayers]]'')
 
=== On the run ===
==== Exposing Phlobos ====
Whilst on the run, Ng took Orr with her to stay in [[Betty Clerihew]]'s [[house]] to watch the neighbours without informing Orr that she had been sent there by a [[temping agency]]. They became frustrated with Ng's secrecy and unwillingness to help [[Hakan Amine]] and was affected by the anger of the residents when Mrs Clerihew circulated the rumour that Hakan was a [[paedophile]], causing Orr to act on [[Friend (Aliens Next Door)|Friend]]'s warning not to trust Ng. They gave Ng to the neighbours as a [[scapegoat]] for their problems and became overcome with Ng's rage, after which Ng saw her own ugliness in them and they left to save [[human]]ity from Friend. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Aliens Next Door (audio story)|Aliens Next Door]]'')
 
[[File:Orr Propaganda.jpg|thumb|right|Orr in [[Voloshnik]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Propaganda (audio story)|Propaganda]]'')]]
Orr, representing Torchwood, took a flight to [[Voloshnik]] to find out what had wiped out everybody there aside from [[Robert Wilson]], but the [[aeroplane]] was shot down and Orr was left unconscious for two days. They finally arrived at Voloshnik with [[Tania (Propaganda)|Tania]], who was about to [[autopsy]] them after they were apparently beaten to death by [[General (Propaganda)|the General]], and deduced that the town had been wiped out to promote contradictory [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] amongst the public and advertise a [[weapon]] capable of targeting a particular group. To keep this secret for as long as possible, they decided that the theory of Robert being immune should be encouraged. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Propaganda (audio story)|Propaganda]]'')
 
As part of Torchwood's plan to expose [[Phlobos]]'s creation of the Voloshnik weapon, Orr got [[Kyle Lansman]] back to the [[United Kingdom]] to speak at an inquiry by seducing [[Dimitri (Pariahs)|Dimitri]] and disguising themself and Kyle as airline crew. They were met at the [[airport]] by Ng and taken to the inquiry, where [[Graham Graves]] admitted to the creation of the weapon before nanites within Kyle killed everybody in the room but Torchwood, leaving them to be dealt with by the [[police]]. Whilst Yvonne disappeared, Orr was left with Ng, Mr Colchester and Tyler as the police burst in. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pariahs (audio story)|Pariahs]]'')


Members of Orr's species lived long lives though did not show their age. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') They were hypoallergenic in both directions, meaning that they did not have allergic reactions and others did not have allergic reactions to them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Love Rat (audio story)|Love Rat]]'')
==== Fighting Friend ====
Orr, like the rest of Torchwood, was pulled into a psychic experience by Friend and learnt of the story of Friend's origins and how it turned against humanity. Afterwards, Yvonne saved them, Ng, Mr Colchester and Tyler from the police in a [[tank]] and drove them back to [[Cardiff]] in a [[minibus]]. With the Hub flooded with Rift scar energy, the [[Cardiff Hub]] became Torchwood's temporary base as they worked to defeat Friend. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[How I Conquered the World (audio story)|How I Conquered the World]]'')


== Personality ==
Orr and Ng investigated the deaths of [[Octavia (Doomscroll)|Octavia]] and [[Katie Dazzle]], whose [[live stream]]s continued after their deaths, and discovered that [[People Fluid]] was run by [[deepfake]]s whom Orr was unable to sense anything from. The two of them tried to save [[Chris (Doomscroll)|Chris]] after Ng sent him a [[mobile phone]] so that Torchwood could analyse how People Fluid would try to kill him, but they failed. Mr Colchester was able to take down People Fluid, however. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Doomscroll (audio story)|Doomscroll]]'')
Orr did not want to cause loss of innocent lives. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') They cared even about those who threatened their life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Superiority Complex (audio story)|Superiority Complex]]'') They preferred the personal pronoun "they" ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'') and title "Mx". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Superiority Complex (audio story)|Superiority Complex]]'') Their [[empathy]] made them attuned to others, sometimes providing deep insights into the others' psyche.

Once Orr spent some time living with a partner of the same species. Apart from that period, Orr described their life as always lonely. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'')
On Yvonne's orders, Orr looked into what [[Gwen Cooper]] had been up to in [[Iceland]] and went with Yvonne and Tyler to [[Carcassonne]] to disguise themself as [[Anya Belasco]] and get the two of them access to [[Deadcoin]]'s headquarters to stop Friend's auction of the nanogenetic weapon. They struggled with this task due to the different expectations that the people at the building had of Belasco. Having been tasked with making Tyler feel like a hero so that he would not leave Torchwood, Orr allowed him to save them and had [[sex]] with him after feeling the emptiness within him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Heistland (audio story)|Heistland]]'')


Orr was given to [[Vincent Parry]] as a gift from [[Ro-Jedda]] and took the form of his late wife [[Catrin Parry|Catrin]]. They were wearing a [[control necklace]] of maximum destructive power. If it went off, the whole [[Cardiff]] would have been raised to the ground.  
To prevent Friend from sending a pulse through the [[Internet]] to activate its weapons and wipe out most of the population of Earth, Orr and Tyler convinced members of the public to tear down masts by playing on their fears of [[5G]] and [[vaccine]]s. Orr later got [[Janet (The Apocalypse Starts at 6PM)|Janet]] out of the [[police station]] by posing as her [[lawyer]], allowing ''[[Janet's Late Teatime]]'' to go ahead and Yvonne to make an appearance in which she thwarted Friend's plans. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Starts at 6PM (audio story)|The Apocalypse Starts at 6PM]]'')


When Ro-Jedda later had Vincent killed, Orr wound up in [[Torchwood Three]]. Their attempts to disarm the necklace were unsuccessful, but the explosion did not take place, and Orr was left to live their life as they wanted it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Orr (audio story)|Orr]]'')

Orr was a Sorvan sexual psychomorph and a member of Torchwood Three.

Created by Sorvix genesmiths, Orr was given by Ro-Jedda to Vincent Parry as a gift and saved from a bomb by Jack Harkness. They joined Torchwood and supported Yvonne Hartman's takeover, later becoming God's new herald and gaining her powers for a time and using them to thwart the Committee.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Orr was birthed by genesmiths (AUDIO: Love Rat) on Sorva and served as a courtesan to a number of unpleasant individuals. They spent some time in a relationship with a partner of the same species, changing to meet every sexual whim of the other before settling down. Aside from that, Orr described their life as always being lonely. (AUDIO: Orr)

Whilst on Sorva, Orr was "acquired" by Ro-Jedda. They fled with the Sorvix to Cardiff through the Rift. (AUDIO: Orr) Their first human owner was a woman who ran a dot-com and liked them to talk about complex mathematics such as Langton's ant whilst wearing bunny ears. (AUDIO: Zero Hour) They had a number of unpleasant owners. (AUDIO: Orr)

Sorvix in Cardiff[[edit] | [edit source]]

New friends[[edit] | [edit source]]

Ro-Jedda gave Orr to Vincent Parry as a gift. They took the form of his late first wife, Catrin, and pretended to be her for weeks at his estate. They wore a control necklace with the potential to the destroy the city to keep them from leaving and they swam in it every day.

When Ro-Jedda had Parry killed, they went to Cardiff Airport to flee the city, dressed in a burqa. They were taken by Jack Harkness and Tyler Steele to the Hub where St John Colchester tried to remove the necklace, as did Hatch in his shop. They then had Jack drive them to the Brecon Beacons where the detonation would not kill anybody but themselves, but the necklace did not explode (AUDIO: Orr) thanks to the intervention of God in the future. (AUDIO: Thoughts and Prayers)

Orr returned to Cardiff, which Jack said was their home. (AUDIO: Orr) They helped Torchwood investigate Sorvix deaths in Cardiff Bay Intelligent Hotel and Spa, being more able to fit in thanks to them being a Sorvan. Their unique physiognomy was crucial to uncovering that the hotel itself was the real culprit as their body developed a working lift and they tried to reason with the hotel, giving it the name "Resine". After the hotel was stopped, Jack told Orr that they would be seeing a lot more of what Torchwood did. (AUDIO: Superiority Complex)

New leader[[edit] | [edit source]]

Orr found the fireworm that Yvonne Hartman placed inside Xander Vaughn and, using it, exposed Jack's involvement with him and Red Doors. They chose to stay with Torchwood after Yvonne took over. (AUDIO: Poker Face)

On orders from Yvonne to draw the attention of the Meme, Orr went onto social media and trolled in order to make themself hated. Whilst successful, this resulted in them passing out due to their empathetic powers. (AUDIO: Tagged)

Orr met with Jack in the hospital after he was unable to prevent Red Doors from bombing Cardiff Airport. They told him that he had to take down Red Doors and, to that end, joined him and Inspector Bernstein in raiding their bases. However, they were empty.

Orr with Tyler. (AUDIO: Night Watch)

When a predator shrouded Cardiff in darkness, Orr and Ng remained in the Hub, unable to see. When Orr began to grow the predator's teeth and feel its urges, they realised that it was in the Hub with them and told Ng to run. God appeared to them and took them with her for a talk. (AUDIO: See No Evil)

God tasked them with looking after those put to sleep by the Night Sun and with absorbing the blue light which came with it. They did so, following God's directions to Tyler, Yvonne, Mr Colchester and finally to Jack. God then offered to show Orr her love, which they accepted.

Orr on Day Zero. (AUDIO: Day Zero)

On Day Zero, Orr used their new powers to create safe drinking water which they and Colin began to bottle and dispense to the people at Ritz Tower camp. Orr suffered when the people burst the pipes and, due to the people's selfish actions, they stopped doing so, instead causing rain and making the people feed on the world rather than themself.

With the Hub flooded with Rift scar energy, the Cardiff Hub became Torchwood's temporary base as they worked to defeat Friend. (AUDIO: How I Conquered the World)

Orr and Ng investigated the deaths of Octavia and Katie Dazzle, whose live streams continued after their deaths, and discovered that People Fluid was run by deepfakes whom Orr was unable to sense anything from. The two of them tried to save Chris after Ng sent him a mobile phone so that Torchwood could analyse how People Fluid would try to kill him, but they failed. Mr Colchester was able to take down People Fluid, however. (AUDIO: Doomscroll)

Orr dressed for Carcassonne. (AUDIO: Heistland)

On Yvonne's orders, Orr looked into what Gwen Cooper had been up to in Iceland and went with Yvonne and Tyler to Carcassonne to disguise themself as Anya Belasco and get the two of them access to Deadcoin's headquarters to stop Friend's auction of the nanogenetic weapon. They struggled with this task due to the different expectations that the people at the building had of Belasco. Having been tasked with making Tyler feel like a hero so that he would not leave Torchwood, Orr allowed him to save them and had sex with him after feeling the emptiness within him. (AUDIO: Heistland)

To prevent Friend from sending a pulse through the Internet to activate its weapons and wipe out most of the population of Earth, Orr and Tyler convinced members of the public to tear down masts by playing on their fears of 5G and vaccines. Orr later got Janet out of the police station by posing as her lawyer, allowing Janet's Late Teatime to go ahead and Yvonne to make an appearance in which she thwarted Friend's plans.

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

Orr believed that all lives were equal, be they organic or mechanical, (AUDIO: Superiority Complex) and would not accept the loss of innocent lives. (AUDIO: Orr, Herald of the Dawn) However, they had a grudge against the Sorvix due to the death of Vincent Parry. (AUDIO: Superiority Complex)

They used the personal pronoun "they" (AUDIO: Orr) and title "Mx". (AUDIO: Superiority Complex) Their empathy made them attuned to others, sometimes providing deep insights into the other's psyche. (AUDIO: Superiority Complex) Because of this, they always felt that they knew what people were doing and what was going on in their minds and enjoyed the rare occasion in which they did not. (AUDIO: Night Watch)

Yvonne told Orr that they were the most selfless person in the world. (AUDIO: Thoughts and Prayers)
