[The Sphere clicks on, revealing Jack up close, but still in the space suit.  He's looking through the information he can access, paying attention to it and then back to the sphere. It's at this point he catches site of the barcode on his hand and the white space on his left wrist. ]

Oh, hell.

[He evidently realises he's transmitting at this point,

[cofficer]

[have a thoroughly surprised and relieved Sphere-image of Ianto, Jack.]

-- Jack!

[hark_of_swords]

[Warm grins! (With just the slightest hint of being alarmed for your safety)]

Why, Hello, Ianto! What's a nice boy like you doing on a ship like this?

[cofficer]

I -- think you'll find we've been kidnapped.

[hark_of_swords]

It's looking like that, yeah. My first thought was it was just random rift activity but it's not looking so random now.

So, care to fill me in...?

[For a moment he's all Captain Harkness grin. Then his expression softens.]

You okay, Ianto?

[oliverplus]

Now there's a name I recognize! Has Ianto found you yet?

I wish I could answer your question about the announcement, but you know just about as much as we do. We all just showed up on this ship one day, and no one's found a way off yet. But we're working on it!

[hark_of_swords]

Hello

[Jack smiles flirtatiously]

We haven't met.

[oliverplus]

[grins cheerfully] I'm Oliver Day! We have a couple mutual friends--assuming you are the boss Ianto was telling me about?

[hark_of_swords]

My reputation precedes me again.

Pleased to meet you Oliver.

[bit_impossible]

Well, there's a face I didn't expect to see any time soon.

[smiles] Hello Jack.

[hark_of_swords]

Doctor.

[Tilts his head slightly]

I don't know whether to be grateful you're here or more worried than I was before.

[smiles]

[bit_impossible]

I was wondering the same thing.

But, come push to shove, you know your stuff and I think you'll be able to help out the rest of the passengers along with me, the TARDIS, and my friend Oliver, whom I heard you just met.

[hark_of_swords]

Charmed. [He grins, just so there's no doubt he's being slightly sarcastic]

I'm glad you have confidence in me.

[If he's noticed the Doctor phrasing his reference to the TARDIS that way, he doesn't show it.]

[zombie_pen]

I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of information, but it's comforting to know that I'm not the only lost one.

[hark_of_swords]

Hello.

I think there's quite a few lost souls on this ship. Are you on your own now or is there somewhere you can get to..?

[zombie_pen]

I am in my room, I guess. It's where I woke up.

[hark_of_swords]

If you're worried, stay put. We'll try and get someone to you. Other than that, hopefully you'll find someone else you know here. That worked for me.

Sorry - what was your name again?

[katsuragi_yako]

You're used to wake-up calls like this? I guess I can understand... in a way.

[hark_of_swords]

I've had more unpleasant ... awakenings ... than you can imagine.

[for a moment, he looks a little distant, something hinted at in his eyes]

And you are, Miss...?

[katsuragi_yako]

[ she ponders that look of his while she recalls her manners. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm Yako Katsuragi, sir.

[hark_of_swords]

I get used to it. [He smiles]

Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Yako.
