Secret Intelligence - A DW AU

The Library

The three time agents walked through a vast room filled with shelves and shelves full of impossible knowledge and forbidden truths. Jack stepped up to a screen and began tapping on it to find the most recent recruitment mission and the most recent payments to the agency.

"How can this library be so big?" Amy asked as she looked up at the ceiling that seemed to have no end.

"Back when the agency was founded, so an infinitely long time ago, the first time agents had several pieces of technology from an ancient race. The TimeLords," Jack explained, he loved to show off, "they were experts in dimensions and creating them and things."

"Oh... right, cool." Amy nods.

Clara was looking through some of the antiques in the library from various time zones and all different parts of the universe. She came across one that she acquired for the agency. The skull of an ancient emperor that once held an entire civilization in balance. Let's just say there a religion dedicated to the goddess 'Oswin' and her retrieval of the king's skull. She smiled sadly and touched it lightly with her fingers.

"I thought you were some genius computer person," Amy came up behind her, "why can you just hack into the records?"

Jack chuckles, "not even the great Oswin can get into the agency's top secret library files."

"I've tried on several occasions and nearly succeeded," Clara tells them, "but nothing ever seems to work."

"I'm the only one allowed to access these files, well me and The Doctor." Jack says.

"And Professor Song," Clara tells him, "though she has gotten most of this information anyway."

"Right, okay." Amy nods, pretending to understand.

She looked at some strange liquid in a jar that had bubbles slowly spinning around in it.

"Mind hurrying it up over there?" Clara asked Jack impatiently as she put a book back on its shelf.

"Yep, I've nearly got it," Jack said, "that request was put in two weeks ago, with a great sum of money. Wow! I hope that's going in your paychecks."

"Yes, but who send the request?" Clara persisted.

"Looks like it was set under the name Lady Potts. Hmm, human name that's for sure," Jack said, "let's see if we have anything on that."

"Amy, you were recently a human citizen, have you heard of that name?" Clara asked her.

Amy just shook her head, "nope sorry, doesn't sound familiar at all."

"Well they are certainly very rich, do you know how many drinks you can get with that kind of payment?" Jack said amazed.

"Can you focus?" Clara asked him.

"Sorry, sorry." He said and looked back at the screen.

"Does he talk like this all the time?" Amy asked Clara a bit quieter.

"You should see him when he goes on assignments," Clara laughed a little, "he's a complete nightmare."

Amy laughed, "or a dream?"

Clara laughed with her, "yeah a dream."

"Hey, ladies, I think I've got something." Jack told then and they went back over to the screen.

"So who is it?" Clara asked.

"The Potts family is a very wealthy family in a galaxy near Uoli. Very rich, very powerful, and they do not play around. Apparently they are major business investors for local star systems. Which is incredible knowing that several of history's most successful businesses have come from that area. According to these files, this was their first request to the agency ever."

"So do you think they are invested in Gereth Suns?" Amy asked them.

"Wouldn't be out of the question," Jack states, "they have over a thousand difference business investments currently and if these files are right they will soon invest in much more."

"So what do we do now?" Amy asked Clara, who she now noticed had been secretly downloading the information onto her wrist device.

"Well, Agent Pond, you'll just have to follow me." Clara says to her just as the download was complete. She then starts strutting towards the exit.

"Well what about me?" Jack asked them.

"Sorry, Jack, the less you know the better." Clara said as Amy ran to catch up with her.

"That's cute, Oswin, but I don't need protecting." Jack said to her.

Clara and Amy enter the gravity lift and Clara turns to Jack.

"I'm protecting myself, Captain Jack, can't have you snitching to the director." And with that the lift took her back down to for 265.
