Challenge: 419 - Survival
Notes: Some things are just built to survive

There was a distinct air of damp and mildew down here. There probably hadn't been another soul down here for at least three decades. He feared the mould spores, but Owen's tests had come back within safe levels.

Snapping on his gloves, he prised open the first ragged box, expecting the worst.

Unbelievably, the contents seemed very little worse for wear. The papers were yellowed and  fragile, but otherwise intact. He marveled at it. Despite the damp and the dark, the rats and the moths, earthquakes, weird alien gasses and everything else, the old Torchwood files had survived it all.
