A Message From Your New Captain

[Much like when the Admiral makes his announcements, the voice of one James T. Kirk floods the hallways and rooms of the Barge and he sounds oh so very pleased with himself.]

Attention people of the Barge.

We've had ourselves a little adventure recently and I won't bore you with the details because it's a long though at times, riveting tale. So I'll just cut to the chase: our dear Admiral isn't running this thing anymore.

I am.

James T. Kirk for those of you haven't had the pleasure. Along with Captain Harkness and Captain Solo who is taking control of the helm.

And yeah. That's all.

Have a nice day.

[ooc: Plot questions go here. IC freak outs or congratulations or WTFGETDOWNFROMTHERE happen here.]

Jack...!

God. There is so much I need to say to you...to ask...

[Frustrated noise!]

Why are you doing this? You threatened to shoot all of us for mutiny once and now you're...well, I hardly need to tell you what you're doing. How did the other two sell this to you?

Maybe I'm just....... tired, Tosh. Tired of seeing everyone die, or get tortured, and the Admiral? He doesn't do a thing to help us. It's all on us. He's always telling us he leaves command of this place to us, that its up to us to save ourselves.

So that's what we're doing. We're saving this boat from him. The Admiral isn't a god. You and me have seen enough stuff that anyone that looks like an all powerful being probably isn't. He's a guy who even admits to me that he's gotten stuff wrong before.

I'm not watching anyone else die. We took over Torchwood to save the Earth from being destroyed. Now we're doing the same thing with the Barge. At least for a little while. Long enough to remind people what fun felt like.

I...

I hate that that makes sense. I'm sorry. After everything that happened...I mean, what with me and Owen and...I don't wouldn't wish it on anybody else.

I suppose prisons still make me a little bit jumpy these days.

This place isn't as bad as a prison, Tosh. I'll make sure we land somewhere extra liberating for you.

... wait, what happened to you and Owen?

[Looong pause, and you can pretty much hear the 'oh, shit' in her voice.]

......nothing?

Tosh. Report.

I...really don't want to have this conversation over the voice channel. Somebody else's voice channel, at that.

... no one can get up to where I am except me. I can't meet up with you right now. I'm not completely ignorant; there'll be backlash for this. I don't want you caught up in it.

Jack, do you not think that I'm, well, used to backlash by now?

...

I died. I'm here because I died. And Owen...

...I couldn't save him.

/a long silence on the comm/

How?

I was shot. Owen was...

There was a meltdown at Turnmill. He went to stop it from the inside, it was the only way, but we had to vent into the operations room. There was a power surge, he got stuck inside and...

I couldn't save him. I failed.

And where was I in all this?

....

Jack, what's the last thing you remember at Torchwood? The last job you were there for? When did you leave to come here?

I'd just come back from being with the Doctor for awhile. You were all pretty pissed off. Gwen got engaged.

Of course we were pissed off, you'd just disappeared without a word and...

....that long? Really?

Listen, I...never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I don't think I can have this conversation until I can see you in person. There's a lot that I don't think you'll ever want to hear, but...if you need the truth then I'll tell you everything.

...

Alright. After all this, we'll meet up. I've got a good bottle of scotch in my room and it sounds like we'll need it.

Thank you, Jack.

I'm glad you're alright.

You know me. I'll always come back.
