Rating/Pairing/Spoilers: PG/none/none at all. (I'm not 100% sure what's going on here, but I'm sure there's a whole story behind it...)
Summary: Jack's always looking for the way out.
Porthole
His view on the universe has been reduced a circle of transplastic twelve centimetres in diameter. Prison ships aren't renowned for their comfort, but Jack's been on worse. He has his own cell, no-one's hitting him at the moment and, from the way the guard looked at him last night, a way out when they next make dock.
So, for now, he's content just to sit and stare at the stars, catching his breath. He's being fed, making contacts and can put some plans in place for future pleasures. And that, in the end, is the only thing that matters.
