I really probably should have said something sooner, but I was a bit distracted.

The computers in the room I woke up in are really fascinating.

I suppose I should start staying in that center place though. I've run out of food in the tiny fridge that's here and sleeping on a sofa isn't all that comfortable. If nothing else, I really do need to start interacting with other people.

Come out, come out wherever you are, Comrade Barnes. I tire of these games.

THE CASINO IS BACK!

That's right. Eden is back, fully functional, and re-opening for business tomorrow night! So. If you work there, and still want to keep your job, let's talk schedules. If you want to come spend your money in a place where you could potentially turn it into lots more money, stop on by! Doors will reopen at 5PM.

And with that, it seems that the Daleks are dealt with.

Thankfully, the device worked exactly as we hoped and the lot of them have self-destructed.

( Fail!filtered to Jack Harkness )
Captain Harkness, the congratulatory snog, however nice, was wholly unnecessary.

As was the suggestion of an orgy.

I've finished the device that Hank and I were working on. If I've managed it, it should override the Daleks controls and allow me to hack them and initiate a self-destruct sequence.

I'm just going to need some help putting it into effect. The Daleks know about it, and it's clear they'll go to great lengths to stop its use. But even with that risk, this has to be done.

I simply refuse to stand by and let Hank's sacrifice be in vain.

[The PDA comes on to the sound of really fast running, which cuts off abruptly followed by Hank’s breathing as he hits a dead end.]

This is not good. Not good at all.

[The obvious sounds of Daleks, repeating EXTERMINATE gets closer]

I suppose this is what happens when I spend most of my time in the lab. I have to make it a point to better familiarize myself with the city after this, [a pause] Too high to try and jump. Damn!

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

[There’s the crackle of electricity and the sound of a weapon being fired and the sound of metal hitting the ground]

At least I know it works.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DEVICE?

WHERE? WHERE?

[a pause] I….I made it. I had some help of cour….

[Hank is cut off as the sound of a scanner is heard over the PDA]

YOU ARE A GOOD SPECIMEN TO BE IMPROVED.

YOU WILL BECOME ONE OF THE GLORIOUS DALEK RACE!

Oh no, I don’t think so. [There’s another crackle of electricity as the device Hank created with Q charges up.]

TAKE HIM. PUT HIM WITH THE OTHERS!

[Before the device can fire Hank yells out and the device clatters to the ground amidst the sound of Hank struggling]

No! Let me go!

Right then.

The Cybermen and the Daleks could theoretically be shut down if we could manage to connect with their programming and interfere, couldn't they? I'm just guessing here, but they're machines, so we should be able to manage it if we can find a way to get into their systems, shouldn't we?

I mean...it's just a thought. But it should work, shouldn't it?

Kids these days.

Oh my God, oh my God what's happened I don't even know I think I'm going to be sick I don't understand people were explaining all these things to me and I'm I can't.

I can't.

This has been just absolutely impossible all of it. I might be sick. I'm going to be sick, I think. I---I just want to go home. Is this--can anyone read this? Hello? HELLO?

Oh God, please someone -- can anyone just-just help me understand what's going on?

Bugger.

I got us a new pet. I expect you all to be very nice to him. His name is Q, though I've been thinking of changing it for him. He's British. He know computers. He's very skinny, won't take up much space at all. And I'll feed him. From the looks of him, he can't possibly eat much.

And before anyone starts complaining, I let Barton keep that gimpy cat, so I think it's only fair that I get one, too.

We'll probably need to find a place for him to sleep, though. JARVIS? Suggestions?

Well, this is certainly unsettling, to say the least.

The information Miss Forbes compiled was quite helpful but, even so, I hardly know what to make of it.

I will say, however, that your computer network could use a bit of work.
