Once everyone has gathered all the necessary equipment, Allan open the envelope. Inside is a post it note taped to a folded piece of paper. The post it note says that the person who has seen the destination must read the spell.
When Tesla reads the piece of paper, all anyone hears is nonsense, but everyone is immediately transported to a different time and place.
If the library Tesla was imagining is here, its impossible to know where it is. There are titanic buildings all around - pyramids, domes, elevated globes, and more artistic shapes. The shortest have got to be more than fifty stories tall. They are illuminated with all kinds of lights.
Hover craft skims through the skies, and more than a few of the passengers and drivers appear to be evolved animals.
At ground level, they can see a boulevard, though only a few pedestrians are out and about. It seems to be very, very late at night.
[Any equipment related questions and requests will be handled at the Blue Star OOC. What does everyone do?]

Allan looks around, while reaching out for a feel of magic. And seeing if there's a newstand. Every city should have one. Or, if they don't, should get one. Heck, even a newspaper in the trash would be useful. Though, by the looks of things, Allan suspected paper had long gone the way of the stone axe.

Sapphire takes a moment to look around and seeing the vehicles in the air for a moment remind her of home until she realizes or at least she thinks that these vehicles are probably not the same as the ones of her home. These ones are probably mechanical in nature instead of magickal. When she realizes how scarey it is here she moves behind Tesla. She also at that point reaches out with her magical senses to see what can be gleaned from here and hopes there is some form of magic.

"We need to take a few of those hovers home with use...I can ,make a fortune on the patents alone." tesla said with a grin, "I'll see about getting on the local internet or com-links. find a date , time and location. and anything else interesting."
Tesla scanned the local technology to see if it was familiar. With Cybermen and Dallaks supposedly defeated, but he found himself still concerned. especially with the alternate reality trip the London branch had taken, who knew if they were truly stopped.
But more to matter at hand...

Overhearing Tesla speak.
"Master Tesla did you want me fly up there and get one of those for you. If you need me to I am sure I can find a method to do so." She looks up and comes around Tesla semi reluctantly as she is still skittish in this place. "I am probably strong enough if need be to carry a small one!"
Sapphire realizes she is revealing bits and pieces to her master at a time just because he has not asked her directly what she is capable of! Being nowhere near as strong as some of the golems her creator made, she is still supernaturally capable, just weak on that scale of things!

"I think I can live with out it..." he grinnned, "One second I need to scan for something to give us the info...efforting." he closed his eyes for second. When he first started to get flashes as a youth he had no idea he was psychic..Now he knew better and could handle the flash of information.
While a television might give some he could get better with his own abilities..he hoped.

Allan watched the hover cars fly by, and noting how clean the place appeared to be, realized how much a contrast he must cast. He forgot the last time he had a long bath. No wonder Tesla had maintained a ready distance from him. Looking around furtively, Allan cast his clease spell on himself. Within seconds of mumbling and a quick gesture, he was absolutely clean, head to toe, including his clothes. His Duster, and general outfit, while odd in the last place he was, looked decidedly clean grunge, here. His hair sprung out, a little as he continued to look around.

Efforts to sense magical forces find that the area has negligible amounts of magic. There is a woman just up the street with wings that appear to be made of a shiny metal, but her potential psychic energy is virtually nil, and there doesn't seem to be any planetary abundance of magic.
Tesla's effort to reach out to the technological world is much more successful, the woman with the metal wings approaches, and she apparently has a built in wireless device. She is wearing high heels, nylon stockings and a bikini and looks more than a little augmented, her head especially seems to have some cybernetic modification - with a large metal section on her forehead. Her built in wireless device is capable to accessing the local data network, and she is personally sending and receiving her own messages even as she addresses the group. The data is all presented in modified Chinese characters.
She says something in what sounds a little like Chinese, but is hard to understand for a 21st Century speaker (-40%). She smiles and holds out plastic cards to everyone, all of which have glowing holographic letters: VIP. The woman smells like orchids.

Allan lets out a mental sigh. He should have known Tongues was going to be useful. This trip was going to be expensive. Casting Tongues on himself, he turns to the woman and, in her native tongue, says "I'm sorry, my mind was elsewhere. Could you say that again, please?"

Sapphire also casts Tongues first on Tesla then on herself. She does not care about the cost at this point because she knows the other way she can regenerate PPE. She may have to inform her master of such as she does realize she is not the only user of magic in the group and if the being needs a boost of PPE. Mind you as far as she is concerned the only two that have talked to her are Master Tesla and that Aki girl!

"Of course," She smiles at Allan and winks, "Consider these your invitation! Free admittance to our cyber-lounge and restaurant. Right over there. Just take the elevator to Joy's." She gestures with her arm to a section in the nearby building about ten stories up. There is a balcony, and while no one can see anything, there is probably restaurant seating or something up there.

Aki has moved to stare out the window. she says little as her eyes take in the strange sights. to those behind her, they will see the canvas rucksack move and a small dark nose stick out and snif the air. one sneeze and its out of sight again.
the creature is getting a free ride for now. she stores up all she sees. unsure if anything will be needed to retell anyone else. perhaps young students if and when she returns home
she turns to observe the strange metal woman with 'wings'. she now listens to the others 'talk' and looks about the area. she remains clueless on what to do for now
her only comment to the conversation is [american] 'another flower stink .. '

Dryzh looked around with wide eyed fasination. The level of technology was closer to what he was accustomed to before ending up on Earth. As the woman spoke, his attention shifted to her and he gave a puzzled double blink ( one eye, then the other). his grasp of human speak was impproving, but he had no idea what the woman was saying. " I not understand."

"Great, thanks." Allan says, politely, still in the woman's language, recognizing this as a bit of a street-shill. "We'll keep that in mind. By the way, can you point us to the nearest library?"

Tesla then gets a an address for the local net. It seemed all this cyber-ware they would counter many foes Torchwood faced. Cyber-ware was not his favored concepts, or still he knew there was a local net he could get the address and details easily now...
It was a matter of finessing it from the winged woman or the network she was using. he was still deciding.
