He'll ping them later for a cuppa tea for Luke. Right now he's just holding and contemplating it for a moment before looking around the infirmary.

"...have I told you how I really don't like infirmaries?"

"Nosocomephobia. They remind people of sickness and injuries."

Helpful, Luke is.

He's trying to figure out how to tactfully ask Tyler how he is at hitting on anything that moves.

"Actually I think it's more like I got sick of getting sent here every afternoon my first year of school..." Another glance around before dipping his finger into the teacup and running his finger on the rim to make it ring. "Thank the Allspark that this place has maskable audio security..."

Few seconds pass.

"Luke? What the hell is a Time Agent?"

...This is not going to be easy.

"...They're from the 51st century. We don't know very much about them."

From the way he sounds, there's something they do know that Luke has not said.

"So what do you know about them? Seeing as I've already impersonated one legal official, admittedly half-assedly, I think I need some more info to properly impersonate another."

"Luke, considering they've drawn my blood, asked for a fecal sample, and wanted to take the sample box," Tyler says flatly. "We need to get our stories straight, before I end up on a dessection table."

"How are you at hitting on everything that moves?"

See icon.

"Right." Ignore the fire-engine red face. "I can do that. What reason was I on that ship?"

"Accident?"

He is a brilliant bluffer, yupyup.

"And getting the aliens to run off with their tentacles tucked in?" Tyler replies calmly. "I somehow doubt Time Agents frighten aliens as much as.."

Thoughtful pause.

"Those aliens asked if I was a part of the Shadow Proclamation. Who are they exactly?"

"A very scary one." Good. "If we go with the accident bluff, what kind of accident would it likely have been?"

"...I'm not sure," he says. "Mr. Smith doesn't have very much information on Time Agents, and neither does UNIT. Torchwood would- Captain Jack, anyway- but he doesn't talk about it, and neither does the Doctor."

Beat.

"There's not very much information on their time travel technology, but they have been known to fail."

"Okay, so only two people really know who Time Agents are." That will make things somewhat easier. "Alright. Do either The Doctor, or Captain Jack come here that often?"

"The Doctor turns up every now and then. Captain Jack works at Torchwood, but he owes me a favour, so I can ask him to vouch for you if anyone checks with him."

DON'T ASK WHAT HE DID TO EARN THE FAVOUR.

REALLY, JUST DON'T.
