There is a profound silence following Jade's statement. "You want to- stop time around Crystallis. Even try to pull the entire planet into the Rift?"
Jack leans on his hands and goes very stiff and still, and he stares Jade down with an indecypherable gaze. Concern, wonder, but what wins out is that he's considering it.

"With a powerful-enough time engine, it would be possible to pull Crystallis into a pocket of Time, remove its influence from the rest of space and time. It would prevent the Calamity from infecting other times. It may also keep us from going home." The sheer tension in Jack at this idea comes out through those last words.
"There's no breaking a Time Bubble from the inside. And just because I know it's possible doesn't mean I know how it was done. But if we get to the point that we are completely out of options..."

Doctor.
Jack's voice falters. "...it's there."
