Max is pretty good about not going where he knows he's not supposed to, but sometimes he's chasing a vole or Jack's laser-pointer dot and he gets carried away. He has proven immune to almost everything he's licked, if it's any help.

The paperwork gets better from here out, but Owen had a backlog and there's always a ton when we hire a new employee. Just because we're outside the government is no reason not to leave tidy records! timeagency will tell you, they'll appreciate them a few millennia from now.

Thank you for the UNIT cap. I'll take very good care of it.

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 15:35:38 UTC

I'll give Max the benefit of the doubt for now. How can I not when his tail is so waggy? :)

I am not going near Owen's backlogged paperwork. For one thing, it's unethical for me to write up necropsies and experiments I had no hand in performing. For another, he wrote his notes on takeaway menus and junk mail envelopes. There's a whole drawer full of them, and half of them are undated!

You and Jack looked so adorable in the UNIT caps. Gwen showed me the CCTV footage this morning. It seems she doesn't quite filter out as much as you think.

ask_captainjack April 13 2009, 15:41:08 UTC

There's a filter? Stupid Gwen and her twinges of conscience.

Martha, my puppy's name is Theresa. Ianto has been mispronouncing it with his Welsh-like lisp so I see how you could get confused.

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 15:48:27 UTC

Max, Theresa -- they do sound similar, don't they? It's a good thing the pup seems to answer to both names, so there's no confusion.

Gwennie is not stupid; she's a good agent and a good friend, Jack.

ask_captainjack April 13 2009, 15:57:30 UTC

Don't you start! You were MY FRIEND FIRST, MARTHA JONES.

Aren't you supposed to fight over me? Aren't you ladies (and Ianto) supposed to fight for my attention?

Look, I'm giving away buckets of attention. Hey you're not even looking in my direction.

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 16:02:04 UTC

She's your friend too, Jack! I'm your friend as well. Can't we all just get along? ;)

You get quite enough attention already. But see? I'm smiling at you, and waving even!

ask_captainjack April 13 2009, 16:08:31 UTC

Your waving is calming.

You can never get 'enough' attention. What a strange thing to say!

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 16:09:38 UTC

You want attention? I'll give you attention. Med bay. Now. You're first in line for a physical.

ask_captainjack April 13 2009, 16:14:28 UTC

NOW? AW COME ON MARTHA.

My health is PERFECT. My blood is perfect. Eyeballs, perfect. Toes, perfect. Intestines, perfect. That's all you need to know. You can tell by just looking at me. Look at this body, Martha. I bet it resembles the most perfect med school cadaver you ever sliced into!

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 16:19:28 UTC

You're practically perfect in every way, Jack. :) Which is why I want a baseline, so if you ever become less than perfect we can fix you.

ask_captainjack April 13 2009, 16:24:37 UTC

WHOA, yeah that makes sense. You need my perfect readings for the good of science. I'll pop myself up on that autopsy table so you can measure my biceps, etc. Hey, how much urine do you want?

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 16:31:49 UTC

Just take the nice little plastic cup to the toilet, there's a dear.

I'll be taking blood as well. Try not to faint.

ask_aboutcoffee April 13 2009, 15:42:33 UTC

Huh. You'd better hand off the old reports to me, I might be able to identify the files at least a few of them belong in. And the takeaway menus might have coupons!

Gwen has a very finely tuned filter. It comes of working here for a while. Owen never did get his fixed properly but you'd be amazed at what Tosh wouldn't see if she put her mind to it.

(Did you see the tattoo?)

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 15:53:21 UTC

I'll put the whole pile on your desk. And I'll presume the suspicious stains on them are either alien blood or curry sauce. See? I have a filter of my own!

The tattoo is beautiful. Have you seen mine? You'll have to tell me where you had yours done, in case I want another.

ask_aboutcoffee April 13 2009, 16:00:19 UTC

No! Show me yours. Gwen's is quite lovely too.

Owen did eat a lot of curry.

ask_arealdoctor April 13 2009, 16:06:09 UTC

<-- Here it is! We're quite the inky bunch, aren't we? You'd almost think we're tough.
