[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.

[Oh good, cause she's already on her way there- wasn't home to begin with, so it should only take a few minutes.]

Better not. [...] What's the last thing you remember? [Don't suppose he's from her time, is he?]

Doesn't... really narrow it down. When's the last time you saw me?

[A long pause.] Satellite Five.

[..... Oh.]

But that's-- That was.. Taken from a different point in the timeline then. Been a while since then, for me. S'about 2009.

...Oh. [A little pause.] But you're alright, then? Or you were? In your alternate universe?

[recidivus]

You know about that? [Doctor must have told him. At ... some point.] I'm ... well as can be. Came back- I got back.

[jackedthename]

Yeah, I asked when I -- ran into the Doctor, again. [He's smiling, though.]

Did you? Fantastic.

[recidivus]

Why did-- Oh. [The list of the dead. Jack must have seen it and ...]

Bit of work, but yeah.

[Action]

It was pretty fantastic.

action!

[jackedthename]

[Assuming she is nearby, Jack will just be on the lookout for her -- and when he finally sees her, he will be barreling towards her for either a very tight hug, a very long kiss, or -- both of those things.]

action!

[recidivus]

[Oh, you can bet she's running just the same as he is, grinning like a loon and of course there's hugs all around. Maybe not a kiss- unless he gets her cheek or forehead. She's gotten a bit stingy about stuff like that. But still, she missed him. Hadn't gotten the proper time to say hello again when she'd run into him last. Was a bit of a ... bad time.]

Oh, I missed you.

action!

[jackedthename]

[Oh, fine, cheek kiss it is, but she's still getting picked up a bit. He is grinning just as big as she is, and finally lets go to step back and give her a good long look-over.]

I missed you too, gorgeous.
