Day 217 ✝ Action / Voice
[Earlier in the morning, Derek is running around the Defense Force headquarters. Mostly, he’s been acquainting himself with the updated roster for the Force, especially his Investigative Team. He sends out a quick message to said Investigative Team informing them that there will be a meeting that afternoon at three. It isn’t mandatory so if they miss it, it’s not a big deal. But they will be discussing a course of action to try to learn more about the prison.

As he also notes that his sector patrol team has changed, he decides to touch base with the new people as well. He’s not a huge fan of changes, but he handles it better if he gets the upper hand on it. So during his lunch break (street food stands in sector 0), he tosses them a private message.]

[ private voice to Terry McGinnis and Zero Kiryuu ]
Hey, name’s Derek Morgan. I see we work Sector One together and thought we should touch base so we know who we’re workin’ with.

ooc: The Investigative team meeting is a mingle. Derek will intro and let them know what it’s about, but feel free to thread with anyone in attendance. Also, anyone is free to run into Derek at HQ or when he breaks for lunch.

((OOC: Not sure if we're supposed to all talk together here or separately, but this seemed like a point where Jack would interect! I'll move this to a separate thread if preferred, though.))

"We may not have a Time Lord, but we have an ex-Time Agent," Jack announces, from not far away. He holds out his left wrist with the wide leather strap around it, buckle undone to show the inner workings of the vortex manipulator. "Most of this isn't working right now, but at least we have the tech here and if we got someone here with the right knowledge, they might be able to use it to help with dimension jumping. It's definitely got a lot of the right parts."

The old 3D glasses were a surprise to him. He wasn't sure what they would accomplish but he was also pretty sure they could find some somewhere, or request the materials to make them without the Warden's realizing what they were going to use the materials for. "Maybe we can find some of those here in the dome somewhere. Maybe at the movie theater. If everyone went in to see a 3D movie it'd probably be harder to track that we're taking the glasses in bulk."

He's glad when Jack pipes up too. More people with knowledge that would help them out. And more knowledge always meant more power in his book. They had some tech that they might could use to get past whatever safeguards the bots had set up, that is if they could get it to work. Honestly, he's getting a lot more out of exploring this topic than he'd even hoped for.

"Jack that's perfect." He nods at the leather strap on his wrist. "Maybe you could work with..." Just a second, he's looking over the roster again. He'd looked over files earlier. "Data? And Picard? They have knowledge of futuristic tech too. If we could just get that tech jump started no matter how brief, it'd be something. What exactly does it do usually?"

Jack nods. "The 3D glasses would definitely be worth a shot," he agrees, smiling across at Rose.

He notes the names Derek gives and nods again. "Sure, we'll have a chat, see if any of this means anything to them! It's a vortex manipulator, among other things like scanners and so on. It's the time-travel function that might be useful here, though hell, I'd settle for getting the teleport working!"

((OOC: Sneaking in a quick reply before bed so you guys can carry on without me! Will have Jack talk to Picard & Data in the morning.))

Rose breaks into a smile when Jack chimes in. She looks back at him with a fond look. "That's brilliant. We ought to be able to work with that. Just gotta figger out how to get it workin' again."

She looks back to Derek. "The movie's a good idea if they've got it. Might even be able to request one of the old 3D movies to be played."

She bites her bottom lip, pulling it through her teeth. "I'll do some thinkin' too, 'bout how we can get it workin' again."

She'd sweet talked the TARDIS into booting up again. She didn't think that would work with Jack's vortext manipulator.

"Also, once we have the glasses, we'll need a description of what the team should be looking for. Like what... void stuff looks like." He sounds incredibly out of his comfort zone even saying the words void stuff. But he's a trooper, okay? This is all information that he didn't think they would have. It's a chance to learn more about the prison, about how it works and maybe how to get out. So he'll take being out of his comfort zone.

He pauses. "I've recently... had some trouble with the Wardens. So it might be best if we're requesting a 3D film for it to come from someone else." He looks back and forth between Jack and Rose. For all he knows, they may have had some trouble with the Wardens recently as well.

Yeah, sweet-talking only tends to work with telepathic machines, unfortunately. Jack's wriststrap might fulfil a similar function to the TARDIS, but it works completely differently.

He grins at Derek's obvious unease with the terminology for 'void stuff'. "There are technical terms for these things, of course, but 'void stuff' is fairly accurate. When you look through the right thing – like the 3D glasses – it just looks like all these particles floating around whatever the breach is. Or the person who's travelled through it."

Like Derek, he pauses then. "Regarding the Wardens – uh – I'm not exactly their favourite person either. I'm not in any actual trouble at the moment, but… Rose? You're probably a far better bet for requests than I am!"

"I don't even know the technical terms. Doctor just always called it void stuff. That's how I referred to it with UNIT." And they'd been too busy trying to figure out who she was and what she was trying to do to fill her in on anything technical. "Jack's right 'bout how it looks though. Black particles just...floatin' 'round a person. It accumulates with each trip, like invisible badges on your passport. Oh! Or like stickers you used to get stamped on your luggage."

She realizes after a moment that bit isn't important, but it's something she and the Doctor would have rambled on about for several minutes before refocusing.

"All right. 'm not in any sorta trouble. I can ask 'em 'bout a 3D movie. Probably ought to come up with somethin' specific, yeah? Like Jaws 3D or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes."

"Jaws sounds good. Been awhile since I've seen that one." Consider the irony here, the three of them talking movie options in the middle of a meeting. There's a part of Derek that finds it amusing. But at the same time, it's s decent game plan whereas moments before he'd had barely an idea of what to do about the dimensional stabilizer.

Jack and Rose weren't just giving him ideas and a path to take here. They were giving him hope. Derek knew how paralyzing hope could be to some, but to Derek hope pushed him forward. It have him motivation. He wasn't sure he could put to words how appreciative he was of their encouragement and knowledge. So he just promised himself that he would see this through to the end with them to show how thankful he was.

"The fact that we're all here means we probably all have this... these particles floating around us?" He grins and makes the first joke he's made in days since he found out Hotch was trapped in the dimensional stabilizer. "And here I thought everyone was so concerned about me cause of my charm and winning smile."

"Oh yeah, let's do Jaws!" Jack says eagerly. He's probably the only of them who was actually around when Jaws was first shown, and a bit of nostalgia creeps in on him. Only a minor example of humanity's firsts, but he was there and he got caught up in the excitement at the time. "God, that'll take me back a bit!"

He grinned. "And honestly, Derek, of course we're all here because of your charm and winning smile!"

He wasn't actually lying. There was a lot about Morgan that he found very attractive. If he hadn't had his hands tied by the stupid rules regarding relationships here, he would definitely have made a move on him by now.

	Rose teasingly, lightly, elbowed Jack. "Ancient old man you are," she said with the tip of her tongue between her teeth. She went a little more serious then, nodding. "Probably. We'd have to look for sure, but 'less they're doin' somethin' entirely different to get us here, yeah." She smiled brightly at Derek then. "Maybe that's why you're here."

Derek offers them both one of the first genuine smiles he's given in days. Honestly, feeling like they're getting something done, or even the start of something, is doing wonders for him.

"Also, between the two of you with you knowledge of all of this, and maybe with Data and Picard too, we need to come up with a way to communicate with each other better while in Sector six. Right now communication there isn't that dependable."

Jack grins at Rose. “Still not as old as the Doctor!” he teases.

“Have to admit, I haven’t really explored Sector Six yet,” he tells Derek. “What exactly is the problem with comms there? Is there interference, or does the signal just drop out, or what?”

He shrugs. “I’ll have a chat with them anyway, see what we can come up with. Let’s see if we can finally get somewhere with all this!”
