[The video opens on a somewhat charming smile. The man in it seems very sure of himself, and utterly unrattled by his new situation.]

Hey. Captain Jack Harkness here, and I've got to say it's a pretty nice turtle you've got. She's not exactly where I was trying to get, but seeing as this place seems short on the killer reality tv shows...pretty minor quibble.

I've already met a few of the locals - thanks again guys, and sorry about those vegetables - but I'm always open to meet more people. Local, not-so-local, I don't really mind either way since it looks like I'll have some free time.

Other than company, all I'm in the market for right now's a job and maybe some tools, if someone's willing to lend them - I have a piece of tech that got broken in transit somehow, and I'd really rather get it back in one piece.

[He raises his left arm to show off a leather cuff with what appears to be a communicator inside. It's been fried.]

I'm sure we can work something out in exchange, I've been told I'm pretty good with my hands.

[He laughs a little, at his joke, and there's a moment of dead air after it. Just when the pause starts to get uncomfortably long he makes a show of clearing his throat.]

And oh, Doctor, Rose? [His smile tightens, just barely. Appears just a bit forced.] If you're out there, looks like I'm alive after all. Which I'm kind of hoping you two didn't know, because seriously? There are much nicer ways to let a guy down.

[ There's a rather sullen man on the screen, sizing Jack up with more than a little bit of disdain, and impatience. ]

Aren't you cheerful. [ And he disapproves, he doesn't even try to hide it. ] What are you a Captain of?

Well excuse me for trying to look on the bright side here. Sorry if you were expecting someone else.

[The gloom doesn't seem to bother him, just bring out an extra helping of sarcasm. He gives a small half-laugh, remembering a comment.]

The Innuendo Squad. [Another wave of his hand and he smiles.] No, but really, it's a military rank. Royal Air Force - RAF for short. Wasn't there for long but I tend to make my time count.

I'd still say I'm pretty qualified to help you find out what's got your panties in such a bunch though.

You aren't excused.

[ Why does he keep being stuck with snarky people? Fine, so he can be irritating himself, but that is completely different and doesn't count. ]

A soldier. Shouldn't soldiers be disciplined and respectful? [ Or boring. Mostly just boring. Stormtroopers are bland when they aren't busy ruining his plans. ]

[Jack laughs. Oh, this was going to be good.]

Here's the thing - it looks like that part didn't stick. Not that I can't do a little 'yes, sir', 'no, sir' if the right person comes along.

Anyway, trust me when I tell you most of that? It's propaganda.
