Challenge: R.E.M. titles ('Underneath the Bunker')
"I wonder how much longer we'll have to stay down here," Jack muses. When there’s no answer, he shrugs. "Yeah, I don't want to think about it either."
"Really," he tries again later, "we're lucky. When it comes to waiting for the dust to clear, I could think of better, but oh, the things we could do with the place." Silence. "You know, you, me, soft music... okay, so there's no soft music, but a guy's gotta dream, right?"
Jack looks over. Ianto is still grey, cool to the touch.
He sighs. Just another day of talking to himself, then.

Challenge: R.E.M. titles ('Losing my Religion')
Torchwood has strange effects on faith.
It doesn't help you with the things like faith in God or faith in the greater good-- or even faith in humanity. Now, faith in the existence of things beyond your wildest dreams, it does that-- but what you don't realize at first is that your wildest dreams leave you screaming and afraid to sleep again.
For a while, I thought faith was following the man who drew me in. O Captain, my Captain.
I was wrong. It screws you up, Torchwood.
Now I know: the only person who deserves my faith is me.
