[The person on the other end of the NV is obviously familiar with this kind of technology. After a few seconds, a small holographic Jack appears, looking rather irritated and pacing.]

Right. This is the second or third time in a year I’ve been unexpectedly whisked somewhere I really don’t have the time to be. Anyone want to tell me how to get back to Cardiff? I have a feeling if I don’t get back soon enough, my team will probably kill me. [A pause, then a reflective smile.] They might anyway, actually.

So. Whoever’s in charge around here? I’m Jack Harkness, and I’m going to find you and get home, any way I have to.

I've been here for almost four months and I have a friend who's been here for about ten. The only way to get out of this place is not of the person's own volition.

[He'll sigh after that short monologue, feeling a bit sorry.]

But good luck with attempting to get out.

[And that gets a slightly cheeky salute.]

Thanks, mate. Mind if I get your name -- and maybe you could tell me where the hell I've ended up? That'd be a good place to start.

Just call me Kyon. That's what everyone else does, anyway.

[There's a pause before he continues.]

This is Siren's Port in some sort of alternate version of Earth. We're in 'Canada', technically, though. The date is March 13th, and the year is 2012 - if you were wondering about that. And this place, obviously, is not your ordinary Canadian town, though. Everyone gains - at least, if they didn't have some sort of weird supernatural power to begin with - an ability from the Core. That power, I guess, depends on the person's personality.

... And don't go out at night.

Alright then.

[A soft 'tsk' noise, mostly under his breath.] Alternate universe, huh? Those are always tricky if you don't have the right sort of equipment.

That's what it seems to be.

[There's a slight pause as he continues to speak. This time, though, he sounds slightly awkward.]

I guess I can agree with you on that part. It's pretty hard to get out of an alternate universe, after all.

Not if you've got a rift. Or a TARDIS.

[facepalms]

Well... seeing as I have no idea what either of those are, I guess so. But I'm not exactly sure if either of those things are here.

[jackedthename]

S'pose I'll just have to poke about and see, then.

[facepalms]

Right. Like I said before, good luck.

Mm, thanks.
