ianto jones, jack harkness

Who: Ianto Jones and OPEN
Where: The streets of Colligo
When: After this and any subsequent events.
What: Walking and looking for clues

It was difficult, working without leads, contacts, allies. He was good, he was one of the best, but he wasn't a magician. He couldn't conjure the man out of thin air. Still, all his intelligence pointed to Harkness being here. They wouldn't have sent a top agent if they weren't completely sure; at least, he hoped they wouldn't.

He'd settled into his assigned flat, although that hadn't taken long. He didn't expect to spend much time there, it wasn't like wanted assassins just came up and knocked on the door. Once that was done, he headed out into the streets, not sure what he was looking for. Yet.

OOC: Meet Jones. Ianto Jones. Ianto was fired from Torchwood One and had his memory erased for voicing doubts about the use of the Ghost Machine. The government was still interested in him, though, so he was transferred and became a secret agent. He never returned to Cardiff and never worked for Torchwood Three. As far as he knows, Jack Harkness is a suspected assassin he has been assigned to track.

	He didn't want to completely blow the guy's mind first thing, assuming he even could, so he decided he'd better keep the demonstration simple. With the strap flipped open, he keyed in a sequence. A blue light hologram appeared. "This is the building we're in now. Floors, walls, entries, that sort of thing, see? And there we are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He kept his gun trained on Harkness while he flipped open the wristwatch thing. "A 3D blueprint of the building? Where did you get that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I didn't get it anywhere. I took scans with this to generate it. It mapped out the empty spaces and solid objects, and now that we're in it, it detects where we are and places silhouettes in the appropriate spots." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "The basics of it, yeah. It doesn't render this image until I tell it to. If you're going to use a teleport, it's kind of smart to map dimensions and where there's, say, a big wall that you wouldn't want to be a part of." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah. I don't reference it often since, personally, I find it disorienting to rely on, prefer to learn the layout myself. But it provides a shortcut, or if I just plain forget." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He blinked a few times, stunned. But still, he wasn't familiar enough with the building to know if the picture was accurate or not. "Show me something else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"All right... Let me just change the language for you or it will be meaningless..." He pressed keys again, then the hologram changed to a basic medical scan on Ianto, complete with listed information to read (helpfully in the current English). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He started reading it, enough to figure out what it was. "Stop that! Turn it off!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He hurried to shut that off-- no shooting over the scan, please. "Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay, that reaction was... very strange. It made Jack wonder if there was something in the scan that this Ianto Jones fellow didn't want him to know about. He could privately review the data on his display instead of with the hologram, but that went back to taking risks with the gun. And also strangely, he felt concerned for the guy over that reaction.

"Are you sure?"
