"... an' you can tell the Brigadier, from me, that if I have t'do her job for her one more time, she's goin' t'wish Torchwood was back in power." McShane shouts over her shoulder as she storms in, thankfully realizing where she is before smacking into one of the chairs.

"Really. Really? This is what we're doin' now? Fine. But if I miss the train in t'London, someone's goin' t'have t'pay the fare."

"I've never missed a train to London," says Robo casually from behind a stack of rocket plans, "I've failed to be on them, sure, but I've never really missed them."

"... Brill. I get stuck here with the punny Cyberman." She sighs, shaking her head. "If there's a God, he hates me with a fiery sort of hate."

"I'm not sure what exactly a Cyberman is, but I'm pretty sure I should be offended on general principles," says Robo, "Ugh. I need a break before my brain overheats."

McShane is terribly penitent about any insult made to the robot.

Oh wait.

No, no she isn't. Robots, in her experience, haven't often lead to good things. Or even halfway-decent things you'll settle for after a long day at work when you're too tired to go looking for better.

"Now that'd be a tragedy." She drawls, with an extra side of sarcasm sauce.

Robo hardly ever causes problems, assuming you weren't planning to conquer/destroy the Earth.

"It is if it happens before I get a load of stranded astronauts down for NASA. Seems Hollywood is fresh out of quick to launch spacecraft."

Ace's opinion of this particular patron's world plummets, if their best course of action is a Cyberman-wannabe.

"I knew you Americans were nutters, but I'd've thought you lot would at least know the difference between movies an' real life." She snorts as she heads for the bar.

Robo shakes his head and drops his attention back to the papers.

He's got to have something that can be pieced together in time. (Space isn't that far, really, it's two hours drive. Straight up.)
