[Right, okay. She can do this. It's just a piece of technology and Jenny's good with that. The video clicks on to show a young woman with bright blond hair pulled into a ponytail and a plain olive green shirt. This particular girl is standing near a window in the shuttle bay. When she speaks it's with a decidedly British accent - for those that even know what that means.]

Hello, I'm Jenny. [She gives everyone a smile before turning her attention to more serious matters.]

This isn't exactly what I had in mind when I set out to explore the universe. If I'd wanted to be stuck somewhere I would have stayed on Messaline. Out of the tunnels and into the hallways isn't much of a change. What do you people do here for fun besides get creepy things in your locker?

Does anyone know if people's ships show up here? I don't exactly know what happened to my escape shuttle so if it turns up let me know. I'd like it back, it's something I borrowed. [Borrowed she says with a bit of amusement. Who knows when she'll get the chance to return it.]

Seems my dad might've been here at one point. [Not that Jenny recognized the face to go with the name. Technically it isn't really even a name.] Can't say I'm surprised, he does travel a lot. So if any of you know the Doctor, I'd like to meet you.

[Okay, now she's done.]

Right, thanks.

The Doctor is your father?

[It's the guy from before, Mr. Helpful.]

Yeah, that's right. You know him?

[coffeeking]

Yeah. He's still on board, you know. Around here somewhere.

[Not that he looks the same, but Ianto assumes that Jenny wold know about the Doctor's different faces OOPS.]

Are you a, uh... Time Lady, then?

[throwsdown]

Your dad was here?

I've been wanting my dad to show up since I got here, but I haven't seen'd him yet.

[He hasn't exactly put two and two together that the Doctor is your father, of course. He just sort of thinks you're asking a bajillion questions in one breath. Like he does sometimes.]

[Is that...? It is. That is a child. A tiny little human being brought on to a ship that's dangerous. Who would do such a thing?]

I think so. I've seen his name floating around.

[Jenny has the ability to do that - talk without letting a break settle in between.]

How long have you been here?

video.

[throwsdown]

I've been here... Um. I've been here mondths and mondths! A long time.

[It'll be a year in October; 17% of his life aboard the ship already, fancy that.]

I have my own room and some toys and everything!

[ scott returns the smile, and he's mostly here to talk about this escape shuttle business, but manners first. ]

Hey, I'm Scott. What's your dad a doctor of?

[ hello he's very genre savvy. ]

[generatedanomaly]

Nice to meet you, Scott. [Manners are important. Though that question throws her off.]

You know, I'm not really sure. I don't know if he's actually a doctor, that's just what he calls himself.

[workout]

Isn't that illegal?

[ he's half joking, but he's pretty sure it is. ]

It's cool that he's been here, though. [ as cool as being on a horror ship can be, anyway. ] My mom was here for a while.

[expect]

( he heard that one wrong. yeah, definitely. different bloke named doctor. it'd be rude to say anything, since he doesn't know her.




and then he remembers that stupid cot. )

I, um, I'm sorry, what?

[generatedanomaly]

[Clearly it's space madness. Already it's set in and making him hear things.]

[He could be asking about anything.]

What part are you asking about?

[expect]

People knowing the Doctor?

Video

[comesalong]

You're saying that the Doctor's your dad?

[Amy's obviously not the first to ask that question. She probably won't be the last, either.]

Who's your mom then?

Video

[generatedanomaly]

[She can see how it would be hard to comprehend. He wasn't very father-like at the beginning.]

That's right, he is.

[A shake of her head.]

I don't have one.

Video

[comesalong]

Did she...die or something?

[She lowers her voice with those last words. Mothers and daughters losing each other hits something of a sensitive spot in her.]

[jilt]

Quite a few calls for doctors, this time around.

[generatedanomaly]

I don't know if he's actually a doctor. It's what he calls himself - the Doctor.

[jilt]

Of any particular thing, or does he just enjoy the title?

[leaps]

Can you fly a shuttle?

[generatedanomaly]

Turns out, I can. You need people to fly them?

[She would volunteer.]

[leaps]

We got plenty down in the Shuttle Bay that need repairs. They're alien tech, but if you've got experience...

[ sulu trails off a little, leaving that hanging ]

[became]

...he's your father.

[generatedanomaly]

That's right.

[And now she has a question for him.]

Is this something that's hard for people to understand? Everyone keeps saying that.

[memorari]

He's your father. [ a beat. ] Your actual father.

When are you from? [ not where. she's catching on. ]

video;

[generatedanomaly]

My only parent. [W o w next time she introduces herself she's just going to explain the whole story.]

[But that is certainly a new question.] It was 6012.
