Jack grins in relief, and no little amusement as the light pattern flashes across again.
"Arkan leisure crawler, first generation," he says. "Collectors' item, don't see many of those around these days. Tosh, send a polite message saying it's great to see them, but could they please get the hell out of our atmosphere, they're spooking the locals."
Something quick and easy, for a change. How nice!
"Done!" says Tosh brightly, evidently as happy as he is to have a relatively harmless visitor stop by, as their newest recruit looks on in astonishment.
"Shouldn't we be apprehending it? Investigating it?" she asks tentatively.
Jack just snorts. "Oh, please. You interrogate an Arkan, you'll be in there for a month, and that's just the first question. They are so boring. Besides, they're mostly made of liquid. The cells would be a mess."
And that's when the lights flicker on and off again. Jack sighs and keys for Ianto over his wrist comm.
"Ianto, we've got another dose of darkness. You found anything?"
There's nothing, just the lights juddering like crazy, and for the first time, Jack feels a stab of worry, and codes for Ianto's earpiece again.
