"I wish I was Dalek. I think it would be great."

She sat on a sofa, feet up on the coffee table, and laptop resting on her thighs. A cord connected her wrist computer to the laptop, loading all kinds of files while she sifted through codes trying to reprogram a few of the features. Anything to keep her busy, and thankfully she'd been brought here with more then enough of her things to tinker with to at least keep her amused for a little while.

"I'd roll around the corridors, and cry "Exterminate!" And I will swivel my dome head around, and everytime you walk I will watch very carefully with my eye upon a stalk."

A dalek was one of the last things she'd want to be. A cockroach was preferable to those alien toe-rags. She liked the poem though, it was pretty funny. Ace and friends she'd served with had always come up with chants, poems, songs, anything to keep them entertained. Ways to lighten the mood between fighting so they didn't focus on how many friends they lost.

"And I will terrorise the cities. All the folk will scream and shout, and I will be invincible 'til my batteries run out."

She grinned as the right program opened on her screen, and cracked her knuckles before going to work. It'd been a while since she'd programmed anything, but what better time to refresh her memory? Not like she had anything better to do, and this mapping program might come in handy. Sort of a mapquest of the future. Typically she could use it, load information into a PDA or her holodeck to find her way around any city in any time. Unfortunately, the information in it had all of Earth's cities loaded in it, and was useless here. All she had to do though was make it so everywhere she went here was stored in the device's memory, and after another trip around the resort she'd have the whole thing mapped out. Then maybe she'd try going out into the desert, once she had this to help her find the way back.

"Ther-wait! No! Damn it. I didn't want to delete those...Three hundred cities. Gone." The brunette groaned, trying to bring back the files she'd only meant to put in back-up storage, but they were completely erased. Ace yawned and ran a hand through her hair, glancing at the wrist processor/watch, and taking note of the time. She'd heard of some kind of party later, and had every intention of going. A little fun, meet some new people, hopefully see Bones again...Right now though -- "I could use some coffee." She stated, glancing around in search of one of the golem things.

Ianto decided that being stuck at the resort wasn't completely bad. Jack was here and there were no aliens terrorizing the place. A definite two thumbs up in his book. He'd decided to do some exploring on his own today and had come across the library. It was heaven. He'd limited himself to selecting three books at first and had taken to them to sitting room to settle down and read. Just as he was about to walk in, however, he heard someone mention a Dalek and he froze.

At first frowning, a grin started to grow on his face before he entered the room. "That's... quite an interesting, yet humorous poem," he noted, settling down with his books on his lap. "I was not aware Daleks had batteries, though," he said teasingly. "Would have made it a lot easier defeating them if I'd know that."

Teasing aside, he studied the young woman. "So, since you know what a Dalek is, I assume you've either run into them or met someone who's told you about them." He wondered if she was from his... dimension, he supposed it would be called.

"It's more a power unit then a battery, and they don't really run out. Close enough though, right?" She chuckled and shrugged slightly, mildly surprised to find that someone else here knew and had fought the Daleks. Though, she supposed it wasn't that unlikely, what with the planet taking people from all different times and places.

"Spent three years blowing 'em to bits." Ace stated proudly. "How 'bout you?" He didn't exactly look like the fighting type to her, but who was she to judge? He'd fought a dalek and lived, after all, which was a feat not many could really boast about.

	A short laugh burst from Ianto's throat. "I was used a hostage against Torchwood by an alien. Almost got my throat ripped out. It was very... eventful. What about you? How did you meet the Doctor?" he asked curiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've never seen it," Ianto admitted. "Always wondered what it was like on the inside." He slowly grinned. "I know it's bigger," he added with a chuckle. "I've seen photos of it and through a CCTV once or twice but never the real thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Jack's described it to me before. His room here looks like his old room in the TARDIS so I suppose I know a bit about what it looks like because of that. Not the room with the center console, though. It... seems to be quite a powerful spaceship," he remarked, thinking about the Doctor had used it to bring the Earth back where it belonged.

	"She's a very powerful old ship." Ace agreed, having picked up the Doctor's habit of thinking of the ship as a 'she' rather than an 'it.' "I'm sure if you really wanted to see it, the planet could give you a good replica of at least the console room." She commented with a light shrug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
