A woman contacted me. She said that a Ianto Jones, who recognizes my name, recently fell through the rift.

She has him set up with a room at the Marriott downtown.

I can stop by to see him if you'd prefer not to go at all. Or I can go with you, but I thought I'd let you know.

...wait, the Marriott? That's a fairly upscale hotel, isn't it? Who puts up Wanderers on their own money when they clearly know about you? If they know about you, they should know about the Kashtta.

...who was this person?

{{OOC: Waaaay to skip right to the aspect of this conversation which doesn't require emotions, Jack. Way to be.}}

[smithnjones]

I was wondering the same thing.

Her name is Leona Sandric.

Have you heard of her?

[hey_capn_jack]

{{OOC: BRB falling off a metaphorical chair.}}

[hey_capn_jack]

I've heard of her. I think we're being sent a message.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what that message is.

Did you ever know Luke Roberts? Shapeshifter kid?

[smithnjones]

Wonderful. I love being sent a message like this.

What have you heard about her?

Yeah, I knew him. He was a friend of Des'. Best man at the wedding.

Or best kitten, I should say.

[hey_capn_jack]

He used to work for a woman by the name of Leona Sandric. Part of "A very powerful group." The Organization. When he was diagnosed with HIV he was so terrified of what they'd do to him that he ran away and stayed in hiding until he died.

And the last Ianto. here. Apparently after I

He got in a fight with the CLF, and got taken home by a Ms. Sandric. And she or her employees managed to put him in a position where he was willing to have his memories of Torchwood erased in order to defect   leave Torchwood and join her employ.

So. Powerful person, possibly an unseen major player here, who knows something about Torchwood and Ianto Jones, puts him up for a night and sends him on

Sends him to us.

Think we're supposed to take that as charity, or a friendly "I see you"?

[smithnjones]

How is this even

I'd vote for the second before the first.

The more I learn, the more I'm convinced that no one should go to fetch him on their own.

I'm assuming that she'd realize you know all this about her and that I'm in contact with you.

[hey_capn_jack]

I wasn't exactly in Torchwood's briefing circle when all this went down. I have no idea how much she knows I know. She'd have to have been living under one hell of a rock not to know that we're working together, though.

I don't like being on the back foot, here.

[smithnjones]

If she's part of the Organization, I'm certain she knows plenty.

I'm not a big fan of it either, Jack, but it looks like we don't have much of a choice for the time being.

Maybe we should make finding out more about this Organization and Leona Sandric a priority. So we're not.

[hey_capn_jack]

Yeah.

I'm going to send someone to pick him up. If the Organization is trying to feel us out, dispatching either of us to fetch and retrieve might send the entirely wrong signals.

[smithnjones]

Alright.

If you need anything, and I mean anything, I'm around.
