Tosh was always the first, after Jack and Ianto, to arrive at the Hub. Honestly, it was hard for her to stay away; there was always something interesting for her to play with, whether that meant a programme she was working on, or a new piece of alien tech for her to study. She lived for the challenge of figuring out what such devices were, and how they worked, enjoyed nothing better than taking something broken and rendering it operational again.
 

Ianto’s coffee was another very compelling reason to get to work early. There was no better start to her day than a steaming cup of freshly brewed heaven. All that being the case, it made sense for her to have most of her mail delivered to the Tourist Office. That way, if there was anything important, she could deal with it right away.

 
“Letter from your mum,” Ianto said cheerfully, setting the envelope reverently on Tosh’s desk.
 

“Thank you, Ianto!” Tosh beamed at him, silently blessing Jack for not sticking to the rules UNIT had imposed on her release. Letters flew back and forth between Tosh and her family. She felt closer to them now than she’d ever been.

I always loved Jack for not holding Tosh to Units rules. I never understood why Martha joined Unit. Those are, for the most part, evil people.

[badly_knitted]

They certainly were to Tosh, and during Children of Earth, but it probably isn't all of UNIT, just certain parts, so hopefully Martha was attached to a good part, or she was there to spy for the Doctor.

Tosh deserves contact with her family.

Thank you!

[siberian_skys]

UNIT should never have locked-up Tosh.

I didn't remember that Martha was spying for the Doctor.

You're welcome.

It was never said on the show, but it's a possibility. More likely though, she wanted to put what she'd learned while travelling with the Doctor to good use, and UNIT was her best option since at the time Torchwood Three didn't need more personnel and Torchwood One was gone.

Tosh did wrong, but she still shouldn't have been tossed in a cell and left. Saving her was one of Jack's best decisions.

[siberian_skys]

I agree with you. I thought saving Tosh was one of Jack's best moves.

[badly_knitted]

He saw her worth.

[siberian_skys]

That he did.
