This story serves as a companion piece to Rose Tyler at Torchwood, but it doesn't matter if you haven't read that first. You can read it first, but only because it sets the mood for this story.

She was respected. Not feared, but she was known to be very firm and buisness-like.

Cameras flashed around her, she had privileges, media surrounded her, limousines, parties and money surrounded her.

But she didn't care about any of it.

She was Rose Tyler of the Powell estates, not a vitex heiress.

And she was working on a way back to the Doctor.

***DW***

Only her team knew what was going on.

Computer geniuses, technicians and egineers worked day and night on a mysterious object.

The director, pete Tyler, knew about the project of course, he had authorised it. But it had been Rose's idea.

A year after the project started, they succeeded. It was finished, and it worked.

The dimension cannon.

Her way back to the Doctor.
