''to be | [[Lizbeth Hayhoe|Lizbeth]] arrives at [[Room 13]] and is introduced to [[Adam Smith|a man]] by [[Norton Folgate|Norton]]. Whilst she initially says that they will have to [[retcon|erase his memory]], she is impressed that he has brought [[custard tart]]s and asks what his name is. He says that it is Adam. | ||
Running late to visit her sister [[Margaret Hayhoe|Margaret]] because of staying late at work, Lizbeth rushes to catch a [[train]] and misses it because of a man standing in her way. He invites her to instead join him at [[the Black Dog]] for a drink and tells her that his name is Adam. | |||
Norton arrives at Room 13 with a friend, Adam, who Lizbeth says looks familiar. When he shakes her hand, she says that he has good manners and that Norton could learn something from him, but says that they will have to erase his memory. Adam says that they will get along famously. | |||
Lizbeth runs to catch her train at [[Aldwych tube station]] and gets on thanks to a man holding the doors for her. She talks to him about her fascination with [[mouse|mice]] and that she is going to see her sister, who is investing in stock options. The man introduces himself as Adam. | |||
At work, Lizbeth is angry that [[Section Q]] have requisitioned [[mind ruby|mind rubies]] from [[Torchwood India]]. Adam, who says that he is new in the post room, enters to give Norton and Lizbeth their mail which includes a [[memo]] from [[Reginald Rigsby|Rigbsy]] about the approaching [[Kernaz]] fleet. Once Adam has gone, Norton stares at the door, smitten, and Lizbeth tells him to get on with his work. | |||
Norton and Adam kiss in a [[graveyard]] and hear a sound which Adam identifies as the moaning of the Kernaz scout that they had attacked. They continue kissing and Adam suggests that they turn their [[torch]] off whilst they have [[sex]]. | |||
