"Death, that's what powers the crystal." A voice that has, so far, been uncharacteristically silent. "You need the energy of thousands of deaths? And that energy has to come from somewhere, or we're never summoned, and the whole timeline blows?"
Captain Jack Harkness steps forwards, looking not at any of them, but gaping up at the Crystal. It's stupid. He doesn't come back to life here, does he? But how is it even possible to remove his connection to the Time Vortex? The energy's got to exist in some form, right? And he's the center of the entire damn thing.
Fearlessly, Jack approaches the Crystal, getting dangerously close to the energy that surrounds it. He holds up a hand, as if testing for a reaction in the air. But it only hardens his resolve, as he turns back around to face the heroes. "It doesn't work, I won't hold it against anybody."
"But maybe some deaths count for more than others."
Jack draws his sword, and offers it hilt-first towards the Heroes.
