Title: While they sleep
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Torchwood team
Rating: PG
Challenge: 415 - Silence
Notes: The hub has a life all its own

The hub is like a living creature, always full of movement and noise. If it's not the rift machine grinding away, or the computers purring with efficiency, it's the rift alarms wailing, or the cog wheel door clunking open.

Sometimes it's laughter coming from Jack's office, or bizarre squelching noises issuing from Owen's autopsy bay. Other times it's the hiss of the coffee machine, or the squawk of a pteranadon.

Only in the earliest hours of the morning when the team have gone home, or are in sweet repose, does it finally slip into gentle silence, as if asleep itself.

Oooh, a lovely look at one of the unsung characters of Torchwood!
