Opening her eyes, Gwen sat up and very nearly screamed. The last thing she remembered was doing paperwork and noting that her eyes were crossing - she'd been so tired. But, falling asleep on her keyboard was one thing - waking up in a field near a lake was something completely different. Eyes wide, she took a breath, noting that she was alive - she could smell the fresh air around her. She reached over and pinched herself, wincing when she felt pain - she was awake.

"Oh, my God," she moaned, leaping to her feet. She reached into her back pocket for her cell phone, but there was no phone. Reaching for her gun, there was no gun at her hip. "Oh, my god!" Gwen exclaimed, turning around in a panic, looking at the ground around her as she patted herself down, noting that she was wearing jeans and a light sweater - not what she had been wearing at the Hub the night before.

The only thing that she could imagine was that there had been activity with the Rift, and she'd gotten stuck in the middle of it. Turning around again, Gwen noted several large buildings - hotels? Resorts? "What the bloody hell?" she mumbled, heading toward one of the buildings, shaking her head a little. She had to be dreaming, right? She saw someone walking out of the building and she cried out to them. "Hello! Excuse me!" she shouted, running toward them.....

"That's... a lot of information to take in... in such a short time," she breathed. Gwen knew the drill, she lowered her head between her knees, breathing deeply to keep herself from passing out. "So... you do know what happened to him? OK, so if you met him during World War II... how did you end up fighting these Daleks? Was it on another planet? How did Jack end up back here?" she asked him.

She shook her head, lifting to look up at him again. "You probably don't know. Jack knows how to cover his tracks pretty well, I think. Do you know how we're ending up here?" she tried.

"Well, by the looks of things you'll have a lot of free time to let it sink in," he pointed out, trying to make light of the situation as he always did.

"The gamestation was a spacestation orbiting Earth in the year 200,000. Like I said, I'm a Time Lord, does what it says on the tin," he pointed out.

He shrugged when she asked about Jack's reappearance in Wales. "I don't know. I left him on the gamestation, last time I saw him. He probably teleported, he was a Time Agent after all. Had one of those space-hoppers," he pointed out; other people's methods of time travel weren't all that interesting to the Doctor, and it seemed like a silly question coming from someone who clearly knew Jack.

"No idea. The general consensus is that the planet is a sentient being, and is trying to populate itself by stealing people randomly from time and space. Of course, that is completely against all sort of galactic laws, so eventually it will have to let us go. That sort of energy isn't going to go unnoticed," he told her, spinning round to pick up the key left on the stone and tossing it in her direction. "Until then, you might as well make yourself at home!" he grinned.

Gwen caught the key, nodding a little as she turned it over in her hand. "Thanks," she said, still quite stunned at the entire situation. Gwen lifted her head, looking up at him from where she sat. "I'm sorry I tried to strangle you - you've been nothing but kind to me," she said sincerely. It wasn't often, but Gwen could admit when she was wrong.

"I think I'm just going to... sit here for a bit, jsut take it all in," she told him, looking down at the key in her hand once more.

"Don't worry, I'm used to being greeted in much worse ways than that!" he laughed, only half-joking. people did seem to have a habit of holding him at gun-point instead of offering a warm handshake.

"Yeah, probably best. Well, if you need me, I'm in room C222, just over there," he said, pointing vaguely in the direction of the C block. "I'm not exactly a familiar face, but I can offer stories about younger Jack, and you can use me as a punch bag if it all gets too much!" he grinned. He supposed it was about the best someone could offer at a time like this.

"Well, you take care of yourself, and I'll... catch you at some point," he suggested, reaching out to give her a sort of encouraging pat on the shoulder before heading back off toward the TARDIS, turning to give her a little wave as he went.
