 [ the feed comes on, hello everyone. Ianto looks pretty impassive, despite what he's been reading over the last few days since waking up in somewhere that was very clearly not Cardiff. ]

My name is Ianto Jones. I understand that this is obviously not Cardiff, and that there is obviously some sort of illness going around. Can't say I appreciate the unexpected trip, or the not so great timing of the Rift...

If there is a Jack Harkness or a Gwen Cooper about, or if anyone has seen or heard anyone by these names - one's a man in a big flashy coat, almost as flash as the man himself, the other is a Welshwoman, I would appreciate hearing of it. 

Thank you for the help, I understand this can't be a good time to ask - but anything else about this place that anyone can tell me, or what is going on, I would also be grateful. 

[ a solemn nod and then he's gone. ]

Hello, Mr. Jones.

[Pepper is looking as pale as only a redhead fresh from a case of the Black Death can look, but she's as poised and polished as she can be all the same. That she's also smiling helps take some of the edge off.]

I'm afraid neither of those names has been around here, although the description of Mr. Harkness reminds me a lot of someone I know, but my name is Pepper Potts and I'd be happy to help you get acclimated to life on Verdana.

We're unfortunately not on Earth any more.

[All right, so someone's cloned Tony from the sound of things. Pepper smiles to herself before a businesslike mien takes her and she gives Ianto a quick nod.]

Yes -- it's actually an entire planet that may or may not be in our galaxy, and is some unknown point in the future from where I'm from -- 2012, to be exact. We've all been brought here in stasis on board the crashed ship you'd have woken up on, although it's... questionable... whether this was our intended destination or not.

Then you're one up on me in the coping department. And I've been here... a little over two months, at this point. Has anyone warned you about the plague yet? I should probably get to that before giving the full tourist information package, I think.

[Pepper's expression is wry as she makes an admission.]

We're unfortunately short on ultimate solutions at this point, although work is progressing. But what we're looking at is a bioengineered strain of the Black Plague that contains the DNA for a virus inside it. Don't ask me how -- I just manage scientists sometimes, I'm not one myself.

So, if you catch the plague and if you recover from it, either from antibiotic treatment or because you're lucky, then you get to deal with a second infection, caused by the virus that's escaped from the dead plague germs. It's nasty, it's gone epidemic, and the city is getting a little... stretched.

To be honest, [says Pepper with the ruefulness of tone that says that yes, she knows nobody ever says that when it's prefacing something pleasant,] if it wasn't bioengineered Black Death then you might've shown up in the middle of a violent raid, or during a psychogenic fog.

Great tourist destination, basically.

Cardiff... paired with explosions and strangeness, I'm sorry if I'm prying, but do you know a Ms. Sato at all? Toshiko Sato?

[Pepper, in her tenure on Verdana, has grown increasingly mistrustful of coincidence, when it comes to the different realities coughing people up onto the planet.]

Well, then you're one of the lucky ones, Mr. Jones. You've got someone from your own reality, or something close to it, already here. Tosh has been working on understanding some of the Ship's systems. I'm sure she'll be delighted to see a familiar face.
