[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.

Third time? So, you've been through this before, yeah?

[ her time traveller senses are tingling. ]

And what's in Cardiff anyway?

[jackedthename]

A few times, yeah.

[Hellooooo, gorgeous.]

Well -- me, Torchwood, and the rift. Kinda wish you were there too, though, now that I see what I'm missing out on.

Blimey, you don't waste any time, do you?

[ she bites back a chuckle at the flirtatious comment, raising her eyebrows. ]

Can't say I've heard of Torchwood before, or here. Sorry. But do you happen to mean a time rift?

[ because that's all the tardis seems to go on about, and it would almost make sense. ]

I try not to.

[Charming smile part two!]

I do, actually. There's a rift in time and space, and it happens to be situated in Cardiff.

Really? Wouldn't have been my first guess.

Well, if you're used to that sort of stuff, then you'll be just fine here. Exceptfor the fact that we can't leave. But I'm sure somebody's already told you.

Cardiff. Surprisingly dangerous. Also, surprisingly sheep-free.

I'm beginning to figure that out, yeah.

[sharp]

All sorts of surprises, yeah? Well, then you'll also begin to figure out that this place isn't that much different. The dangerous bit, I mean. Err, not sure about the sheep.

AMY.

[ OH LOOK IT'S A WHISPER THAT'S... NOT A WHISPER. ]

Be careful.
