"Ianto!" Jack's bellow carried through the entire house from the upper floors to the lower and eventually it drew the young man in question out of what looked like a large storage closet.
"Captain?" He drawled back, voice pitched to carry the same distance.
"Any luck yet with that network cable?"
"Yes, Sir. I found where it was shorting out and Tosh is sending over some insulation which she says should do the trick."
"So we'll be linked up with the Hub sooner rather than later?"
Ianto sighed inwardly. He knew Jack was getting impatient with being out of touch with Hub and even more importantly, out of touch with the alien computer housed back there and it's information but there was only so much that could be done without making a big fuss. Ianto in Milieux and Tosh in Cardfiff had been working without concern for time zones in an effort to get things up and running but the process was still fairly slow.
Particularly for Jack.
"Tosh believes we'll have addressed all the hardware issues within 24 hours, then we can begin testing on the software and security, all goes well, we could be up by this weekend."
Jack stood at the base of the stairs and set his hands on his hips in an attempt to curb his impatience. He knew his team was doing their best but he felt blind and exposed and it was making him edgy. Particularly with everything going on in Milieux.
"All right, keep working on it, Ianto. I'm going to go run diagnostics on the security cameras we set up outside."
Ianto felt like pointing out that Jack had already done this, twice but it would get the older man out of his hair for a bit and give Jack's restlessness a target.
"Of course, Sir. I'll contact you if there is any update."
Jack nodded, tucking a small bluetooth device, much like the one Ianto wore currently, into his ear and then grabbing his coat and headed out of the house onto the grounds.
