[The video feed pops on to the sight of a dashing- if he might say so himself- man in his seeming mid-thirties, grinning widely at the camera; he has a somewhat period look about him, dressed in a button up, suspenders, and a greatcoat that speaks of war, but there's a spark in his gaze that speaks of mischief. After all, he's taken some time to read through recent activity on the network, and he's come across one very familiar name. It's a name he had not expected to hear again for some time, but if the tone of his voice when he calls it out is any indication, he's not disappointed in the least.]

Rose Tyler: what's a beautiful girl like you doing stuck in a place like this? [Jack gives a cheerful laugh, his grin stretching wide across his face.] It's been awhile. What do you say, you, me, a little celebration for our reunion?

[His eyes all but twinkle, and then he speaks again, addressing not Rose this time, but everyone else.] As for the rest of you; Captain Jack Harkness. [One hand raises in a half salute.] At your service. I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to meet each and every one of you. Until then, I'd love to hear more about this place, this- "In Between" business.

[Jack grins in response to the comment and gesture.] Blue suits you. Of course, I've always been a bit partial to the color myself, so take that for what you will.

[He chuckles, but keeps listening.] So a new branch completely, huh? Genetics aren't my forte, but it sounds as fascinating. Somehow, though, I take it there's been trouble? [It's the name that gives it away, coupled with the tone Kurt uses.]

Really? I was afraid it would make people mistaken me for a smurf. [The sigh is exaggerated and then he smiles ever so slightly.]

A new branch, evolutions next step. Naturally. A population of people with power they could potentially use against humans, people get scared. When people get scared, they get angry, when they get angry, they get violent and want to wipe out those that are different. Things back home are...I can't even say they're getting better.

[His expression grows grim at the explanation, because Jack knows intimately what people's fear of things they don't understand can lead to. He inhales deeply, silence pervading for a moment, before he speaks. When he does, his voice is calm and even, with hardly a hint of the memories he pushes back lacing his tone.]

It may not mean much now, but the human race... they'll get better, in time. In my- reality, I suppose, it's coming soon, during the twenty-first century.

[OOC: I am so sorry!!]

[Kurt smiles and nods once.]

That's what I'm hoping will happen, it's what I believe and what I work for. Great things take time.

Keep at it. They'll amaze you, once they learn to embrace the change. The things humanity can accomplish when they put their minds to it... [Jack gives a bit of a fond smile.] As an old friend of mine used to say, they're fantastic.

[Though it goes both ways when it comes to humanity putting their minds to it.]

They can be. I have to say it's restoring some more hope.
