"Oh!" There is a total shift in Jack's demeanor as soon as Aya states her credentials. "Good to meet you, Special Agent." She can handle it, she's no civilian. She's in the trade, so to speak.

"Before you get your hopes up, I should mention that my rank was with a special investigative unit of the British military. Torchwood." Jack holds up a hand. "I doubt that you would have heard of us. We didn't step outside of the United Kingdom's borders that often."

"But we're not on Earth anymore. Probably already figured that out, but let's make it official. And we don't know how to get back. But there's a big enough problem happening here, and those of us who've been brought for other worlds seem to be the best people to solve it." Jack shrugs. "I will admit that going home hasn't been our top priority."

Again, she can take it, so Jack is blunt. "There's a global catastrophe that's slowly destroying this planet. It's growing, spreading from a central point. We are one of the farthest points away from it. We got attacked by an empire to the south, out of desperation. Because their cities are about to be over run now."
