[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.

Should probably find somewhere to stay, first, though.

[defineshinky]

Something tells me you won't have a problem.

[jackedthename]

Well, considering I've already run into two people I know -- I hope not.

[defineshinky]

Oh, you have friends here? [She sounds happy for him but sad at the same time. It's only been a few days for her but she's already missing her friends terribly.] There you go then. Don't even have to take the newcomer handout.

[jackedthename]

At least two, anyway.

[defineshinky]

Natives seem pretty friendly to me so far. Well, the ones who are stuck like us, anyway.

[jackedthename]

How long've you been here?

[defineshinky]

Only a few days. Sounds like people get shipped here once every couple of months. We're the new wave.

[jackedthename]

...Huh. Alright, then.

[defineshinky]

You're calm. Not your first rodeo?

[jackedthename]

Not in the least. Unfortunately.

[defineshinky]

Sounds like a lot of us have experience. Maybe if we all put our heads together, we can get out of this thing.

[jackedthename]

That's what I'm hoping.

[defineshinky]

Well if I hear about any meetings on that topic, you'll be the first one I call.

[jackedthename]

Excellent. Thanks.
