Untitled - TARDIS Big Bang

Had the Doctor gone into the file and changed his name in her report? Before he even told her about it?
Rose fought the urge to make fists and pushed the thought out of her mind. "He's asked to be known as
John Noble, sir, from now on," she said.
He raised an eyebrow. "Any reason for that?"
She'd guessed he wasn't going to be as easy to snow as Brynn, but that was why her excuse had two
stages. "It's for his own safety, sir," she said straight-faced. "He's fairly well-known in the other universe
and he's concerned that if he has a double in this one, he might attract some dangerous enemies."
"But he is, in fact, a clone of the individual designated The Doctor in your prior reports to Torchwood
and the UN?" Winslow asked.
"That's right," Rose said, grateful he was accepting her story at face value. "All the same memories and
skills. Mr. Tyler has prepared him a cover identity to let him integrate into our universe."
"But he's physiologically human?" Winslow pressed. "He's not going to set off any panics if he ends up in
the A&E? Father any babies with tails? That sort of thing?"
"He's as human as we are, sir," Rose said, and didn't add that there would apparently be no babies at all
for the foreseeable future.
Winslow looked at her sternly. "And in your unbiased opinion, is he a threat to the safety of Earth?"
That almost drew a laugh out of Rose—the Doctor, a threat? Were the two Torchwoods in the two
universes merging together? "Absolutely not, sir," she said. "He's...well, mostly harmless. And in the
other universe, he's saved Earth so often that he might as well be named our patron saint. I'm certain
we have nothing to worry about if we let him walk around as a private citizen."
Winslow shuffled the papers again. "Yet you say in your report that it was Mr. Noble, not the original
Doctor, who exterminated the Daleks?"
Rose found she rather liked hearing exterminate and Dalek together as long as they were in that order,
but she understood where Winslow was coming from. "The original Doctor was willing to show mercy to
the Daleks, even under the circumstances, if they agreed to cease hostilities." she explained. "Dr. Noble
concluded that they were too much of a persistent threat and couldn't be trusted to keep any sort of
truce, and since the means to destroy the Crucible were at hand..."
"Clearly you agree with that assessment," Winslow murmured. Rose wondered if she should've
disclosed that she'd tried to eradicate the Daleks once before herself, so perhaps her judgment was a
little biased. But there were some stories not even a director of Torchwood was likely to believe. "Has
he told you why he chose to remain in our universe rather than in the one of his origins?" Winslow
continued.
"He was asked to stay here by the original Doctor," she said. "And...partly...he stayed because of me."
