[Video]

[He didn't think that breaking time was in the penal code, but then considering what the Dominator's had come to earth for he's not exactly surprised to find himself here. The more pressing question was the absence of the rest of the legends. If he was going to make contact with the other inmates, he might as well get that out of the way.]

Hello, people of Marina. I hope this finds you well, assuming this is a recording and not a live communication channel. I guess I'll find out in a second or two if anyone is watching.

[He's defaulting to a slightly more professional way of composing his speech, trying to be as clear as possible as he would in any board meaning or in front of his students back in the 50s. Just going for efficiency. Plus it helps mask his panic.]

I'm Ray. Ray Palmer. And I'm looking for my friends. Sara, Nate, Mick, Amaya, Martin and Jackson. Has anyone seen them? Heard those names? I mean of course I am leaving out specific details such as appearance, surnames, distinguishing characteristics, I'm assuming if they're here they'd receive this message and find me.

Otherwise I think I'm going to need more information about this place. Hopefully I can assist with an escape plan? There's one of those, right?

[His lips turn up into a genuine smile, but it fades almost immediately, seeming crestfallen. He turns the feed off with that.]

[Action]

Ray stays in Sector one for a while, processing everything that had happened. He'd been here almost immediately after he and the Legends crash landed in L.A. due to a time storm. Sure enough that was listed as one of his crimes. Others remarked on his using underhanded tactics to acquire Queen Consolidated, and his being regarded as a criminal by the Time Masters. Even the time he nearly blew up the chem lab in his undergrad, it was all stacked against him as supposed crimes. Alien law, he supposed, was maybe a little less nuanced than even the flawed justice system of western society. At east there you were innocent until proven guilty.

Here he didn't even get a trial.

He moved on to sector two, finding a clothing store and opting to change before continuing on to explore the city.

[Jack's face is something of a picture as his brief hopes of finding out if his memory update was real and he really is dead now are dashed. Only to be resurrected again, as he himself is so good at doing. He lets out a breath.]

Well, that's something, I guess. A good something. [He swallows, as it settles in. He's not finally dead. At least as long as a television show in an alternative reality can be relied upon as evidence.]

Thanks. That's pretty good to hear.

	[He's going to ommit the details regarding the true nature of 'the face of Boe', but suffice to say Jack did go on to do man interesting things if that story wasn't just an abandoned plot thread.] I'm getting the sense you're disappointed. Or, relieved? I can't tell, this head set screen is depressingly small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Yeah, he's probably not quite ready to hear that he might end up as a giant head in a jar. Martha's been very good at keeping that quiet so far too.]

It's a relief to know that I'm not dead. A massive relief! It's just... there's been a lot of speculation as to whether the new memories they upload us with are actually real or just fiction. For a moment there I hoped I might find out one way or the other.

	[Yeah, there's just strong implications that Jack Harkness moves on to greatness.] Sorry I couldn't help you. I'm still trying to figure it out myself now. I could be be on TV right now. Or steaming on the internet. Maybe even a cartoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He chuckles.] Shame I don't watch enough TV myself to be able to say I've seen you on TV in return! Although... [Eyes narrowing, trying to assess Ray's approximate age from the little he can see of him] If you watched me and the Doctor back in your college days, I'd assume you're from at least a few years ahead of me anyway.

	Sounds about right. It was 2011 when I left. And I was going to suggest asking Spencer Reid if he knew about you on TV or in comics or whatever, but I think he's only from a year or two after me. Might still be worth asking, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-05-04 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. But really I don't think it's that important. If someone recognizes me then so be it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, fair enough. [He smiles.]

Anyway. Going back to your questions in your initial broadcast about whether there's an escape plan. [Which was a part of why he responded.] Until very recently, there was an organisation called the Defence Force and the Investigative Team were the people working together to try and get out of here. However, we dissolved that a few days ago, and this morning we lost half the remaining members of the team, so... You pretty much have me, and Ianto. [He assumes Ray will know who Ianto is.] We still have all the data, but frankly we haven't done much in a while. We felt we'd explored all the options and couldn't come up with any other ideas.

	Then consider me a member of whatever rag tag team name you want to apply to whatever we are. Because I'm not going to just accept that there's nothing left to learn here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2017-05-06 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets him a slowly widening grin.] Excellent. It'll be good to have you on board, Ray Palmer! I'll let Ianto know. We were talking the other day about trying to set something new up and get the new people involved. We really need some different perspectives, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I'd expect. I don't expect the wardens are exactly forthcoming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He snorts.] Talking to them is like trying to get blood out of a stone. They give away as little as they possibly can. (Reply to this) (Parent)
