And run they do, all the way to the conference room.
"She's coming after us," Gwen says looking out through the glass door of the conference room.
"There's a surprise," Owen retorts, taking a second to get his breath back.
"Could you be any less helpful?"
"Oi! I just helped you escape!"
"Shut up, both of you!" Before the bickering can descend into a full scale lovers tiff argument, Jack interrupts the two of them.
"Okay, now, this is a fight to the death. We do whatever is necessary to destroy her. Forget what Ianto said. That thing is not human. Clear?"
Tosh nods her agreement and Jack places something on the conference table in front of her.
"What's this?" she asks, picking it up.
"Something Suzie scavenged last year," he explains. "She claimed that it could open any lock in 45 seconds. I want you out the exit gates up the emergency stairs to reception."
"She'll never open that door without power! It weighs a ton!" Owen says to Jack.
"Anyway," Tosh interjects, "I'm not leaving you here!" Nervous laughter can't help but creep into her voice. It's some kind of sick joke, surely, to expect her to leave her colleagues - her friends - to die at the hands of that... cyberwoman. Tosh went to Canary Wharf after the battle. She saw firsthand what those things did to their victims.
"Just do as I say! All of you!" Jack shouts at them. Tosh has rarely - if ever - seen the usually laid back Captain look this frazzled.
"Once in reception ... panel, next to the desk, pull it out," he tells Tosh as he grabs two rods - emergency generators by the looks of them. He hands them to Tosh. "Take circuit 357 from the main system and patch it to these. There should be enough power in there for what we need. Once the main circuit goes live, get out. Meet us by the water tower."
Tosh hesitates for a split second, still not wanting to leave them to face that thing without her help.
"GO!" Jack shouts at her, pointing towards the exit.
