[Jack appears on the camera, looking more than a little on-edge]

Doctor? What the hell is going on out there?! Everyone just froze, and all of a sudden they turned into the Master! And I mean everyone! I...

[Jack takes a deep breath] I can't be here. I really can't be here. [He collects himself a little--he's obviously more than a little shaken

I'm afraid that I can't world-hop, or I'd have you off that world in a heartbeat. A planet full of Masters is something I wouldn't wish even on France.

... come to think of it, how is it that you haven't changed?

[capt_greatcoat]

They're everywhere. Everyone. I tried calling Gwen, and he answered her mobile. [he brings a hand up to his face] This is a nightmare...

Why... Why not me? Well. I guess it might have something to do with the fact that I'm not from here, maybe? That I'm not supposed to be here in the first place? I don't know, maybe something to do with body chemistry. I have no idea.

[ofhopeandglory]

I can't even begin to imagine ... it won't last long, though. It can't. Where are you right now?

Hm. I suppose when you put it that way, that makes sense.

[capt_greatcoat]

I'm... At a safehouse. A Torchwood safehouse. Until someone can get me the hell out of here.

Honestly, at least if I had been turned into one of them, I wouldn't have to face all of them. ...no. I'm sorry. It's good that I'm not. I need to figure out what's going on. See if I can help, at all, be there for them when this reverts itself. I...

...shit, what if it's got Ianto? He's on the Enterprise, they don't even know anything about this until they see this post.

[namedfortragedy]

I can't help you with worldhopping. I can talk to you until someone else gets there.

[capt_greatcoat]

God. [He sighs in relief] Keeping me preoccupied would be great. I...have a history with this guy, and let's just say that... Well, it's not very good.

[namedfortragedy]

I thought that might be the case. [She's seen Jack depressed, charming, but never anxious before.]

Candy has told you about the Owen living with me by now right? Do you want to see him?

[capt_greatcoat]

Ah. Well, she told me that he was living with a friend, but. Not that that friend was you. [He settles back against the door behind him--locked, so that the Master couldn't get in. Paranoid? You bet.]

ack, sorry, I've been in and out all night!

[daredtodo]

Granted. [Because, really, how could he say anything otherwise.] I'll be waiting.

s'okay!

[capt_greatcoat]

Thank you, Captain. Where should I ask to be transported to specifically on the ship?

((How do you want to do this? An action thing here, perhaps, to keep it simple and all in one place? Or I can set up a log, if you'd prefer that? |D))

[daredtodo]

[Jim rattles off coordinates relative to the outer hull of the ship. He'd heard and learned already the perils of just sort of beaming places willy-nilly like.] My ready room. I'll make sure my Yeoman's out so she doesn't freak. Let me know when you have something lined up.

((action here should be fine; keeps things organized. ♥))

[capt_greatcoat]

[After he's found a worldhop, which might end up just being handwaved, depending on whether a worldhopper ever comments on this or not] Alright, Jim. I'm on my way now, then.

((Alright, great, action from here on, then? :>))

[takeitoutofpark]

[He's seen that Jim's given permission, so he figures that Jack's either on board or will be soon.]

Jack?

[capt_greatcoat]

[Just the man that he needs to talk to. He gets straight down to business]

Sulu. Ianto, is he...? He's still him, right? Nothing...the Master hasn't gotten to him too?

[takeitoutofpark]

...He's fine. He's his normal Welsh self. Who's the Master?

[capt_greatcoat]

[The relief washes over him visibly] Oh, thank god. It must have had some sort of a radius that only effected this planet, then.

And the Master? He's...he's a Time Lord, like the Doctor. Only a psychopath. He's someone from my past that I never expected to see because he's supposed to be dead, damn it. [He lets out a noise of frustration that, yes, may demonstrate how frazzled this has made his nerves, at the moment]

[deadly_garden]

I can provide a world hop if you still haven't aquirred one.

[Locked from Kuwabara and Yuusuke]

[capt_greatcoat]

[He sighs in relief] I haven't, so if you can, that'd be great. I've got permission, I just need to get out of here, now.

[Locked from Kuwabara and Yuusuke]

[deadly_garden]

I'll be there shortly then.

[Locked from Kuwabara and Yuusuke]

[capt_greatcoat]

Alright, I'm at [insert location here]. Uh... [he looks sheepish, because he's essentially hiding from the world at the moment] Second floor, in the bedroom.
