Jack takes a breath, and turns to look at Owen and Gwen. "You two... find anything that even resembles a weapon," he orders.
"Uh... autopsy room. There should be some lethal equipment there," Owen says with a nod.
Gwen nods, still looking at him. "What are you gonna do?"
"Buy you some time. GO!" Jack yells, and they run. The... cyberwoman turns to follow them, and he advances, waving an arm.
"Hey! Lisa!" he tries first, which at least gets her attention. "It is Lisa, isn't it?" he continues, tone taunting, but eyes watchful. If there's even the slightest chance Ianto is right, and she reacts to her name with anything other than murderous intent... he has no idea what he'll do. But it's worth a try. "You've been hiding in my basement," he says, trying for a matter-of-fact tone as she approaches, face devoid of any emotion. "That's okay. Draining my power, I can live with that... but now you're starting to hurt my friends. This is gonna stop!"
She's getting close when Jack breaks and runs out of the conference room and heads back down the steps leading to the main hub, drawing her into a more open area where he can easily.
Out of the corner of his eye as he runs down the stairs, he sees Toshiko holding the alien device against the doors, and waiting for it to take hold.
Come on, he unknowingly echoes her as he turns to see that the cyberwoman has followed him down, close behind.
"This building belongs to me now," she says, voice recognisably female, but impossibly flat and cold. "You will all be deleted."
So much for that hope, then. Jack steps in front of her, and she turns mechanically to look at him. "I'm sorry for what they did to you. But this ends here," he says, and fails to get another word out before she grabs him by the shoulder with crushing strength, and electricity arcs agonizingly through his body. His scream drowns out Gwen's cry from his ears before he mercifully blacks out.
Lisa lets go of the Captain abruptly, and he drops limply to the floor. Everyone in the base, including the cyberwoman, stare for a moment, until the moment is broken by the quiet beep of Toshiko's machine opening the door. She dives out.
Captain Jack draws breath with a shudder, blinking hard. He only seems to have lost a few seconds this time. Trying not to look too disoriented, he stands up, fixing the back of Lisa's head with a glare.
"How did he survive that?" Owen mutters, and let's hope he doesn't continue to think along those lines...
"Is that all you got?" Jack spits out, calling the cyberwoman's attention right back to him. "I'm not so easily deleted."
