I thought the human race's survival instinct meant that in the face of Apocalyptic danger they'd all start procreating? Maybe that was just in my world. Though a couple of those scientist were pretty cute. Never underestimate the technogeeks, in my experience underneath that mild-mannered exterior lies a personality to make Anais Nin blush.

Speaking of scientists, who came up with the idea of ripping through the fabric of space-time to bring people here? I think maybe that's the kind of person I'd like to have a little talk with, you know; what makes your dying world so special? And why the hell are you throwing a party over it? That kind of thing. See, people messing around with time and space, with things they don't understand, it makes me a touch angry. When I get angry I tend to kill people a bit, it's a failing.

Still, they always said there are two things that'll survive the end of the world, cockroaches and Torchwood. I've seen the roaches, but I'm still yet to find someone who can direct me to the Swiss branch.

So hi, I'm Captain Jack Harkness and I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you all in person, but in the meantime if you have any information regarding the Torchwood Institute I'd really like to be kept in the loop.

Oh my God are you serious?

I'm glad we're going to play the hello game again.

It's been a good three years I think I'm entitled to a couple distracted hellos.

You're with Torchwood now?

Has it really only been three? Difficult to keep track of these things.

It's not as bad as it used to be. They modernized, it's all a lot more open-minded now.

Well you were a bit farther into the future when I last saw you, too.

I suppose after Cybermen they couldn't get any worse off. We sort of. Catalogued that on a list of "Do Nots." At um. My Torchwood.

Your Torchwood? Oho, I sense a story in the telling. The Doctor briefly filled me in on your explorations in a parallel universe—I suppose he's here too, right?—but I do love a good catch-up.

He's not here.

But yeah, it'd be great to see you. It is great to see you.

Huh.

Guess that means you're footloose and fancy free again. We should go for coffee, or whatever passes for coffee around these parts, and swap Torchwood horror stories. I'm pretty pleased to see you again, too, considering I didn't think I'd ever get to.

They've actually got quite a few good shops around here. There's one at the end of Seventh Avenue, before it splits off onto Green Street, that one's probably my favourite.

I think I could manage to find my way there.

I can stand right out front, make it easier to spot.

I always heard it was cockroaches and Twinkies.

I'm fairly sure it's cockroaches and spiteful immortal witches.

Can't say I've ever met any of those! Just spiteful theoretically-mortal-but-we-killed-that-douche-eight-times terrorists.

It's a phenomenon not limited to terrorists. I can think of a few people like that myself.

Well, yeah, they don't have the monopoly on it, I can think of somebody else too. But Zero only came back from being dead three times. xD

Where are you, Lelouch.

The apartment. Why?

Go to the other room.

This had better not be one of your games, C.C.

Just do it.

Fine. But it had better be worth getting up or I won't come the next time you ask.

I knew cockroaches came into it somewhere.

Some guy in the 4th Unit back home told me there were still cockroaches running around even after the colony drop. It's crazy.

You should see the ones in the Beta Pictoris system, they're the size of horses. Not quite as tame, but you can't have everything.

oh MAN, that sounds kind of terrifying. xD

Don't mind me, but I think they're throwing a party because there's nothing else to throw a party for.

What's Torchwood?

Also! Did you know that you are incredibly handsome?

I'm sure you didn't miss it!

Not to sound too vain, but I had an inkling, yeah. You're hardly unattractive yourself, you know.

It's hard to miss, I know!

Certainly is. So what's a gorgeous guy like yourself doing indoors on a beautiful Sunday evening like this?

Eating udon! What are you doing?

Had a chat with an old friend, now I'm thinking of going out for a while. Everyone here's really friendly. I like it.

Yes, it's a very pleasant place!

You're welcome to join me if you want.

Okay!

That information's classified, sorry.

That's okay! I like mysteries.

Hey there, neighbor.

Well hello. This place just gets better and better.
