You're right, I am. If I gave you the whole list of everything I've been, you'd be very impressed. Maybe even PhD times six impressed.
[ Jack has this quality when it seems like he's always on the verge of laughing; he likes to joke, he likes to tease, his smile naturally engaging. He adores people who are passionate and Newt's into science, which is not really his thing, but it's enough of his thing that he appreciates it. He used to find brilliant minds and recruit them on purpose, so he knows what to look for. ]
I was probably around your age when I met the Doctor, actually. I thought I already had the whole universe figured out. You're ahead of the game, if you've got any of these universes figured out.
[ It's easy to look back at that with a smile, despite the trauma that came shortly after, and all the ones afterward. Jack doesn't like to spend all his time worrying about the worst things he went through. He has his days he lets himself do that, so all the other time he can be in a good mood, like now. ]
I'd love to read your write-ups!
[ They step into the kitchen/mess hall area and it seems that it's quiet for the time being, easy to have a drink in peace. Jack assumes it won't be for long, but enough time to chat with this pretty scientist and keep him seeming more relaxed than he was at the start of this conversation. He flips open the vortex manipulator so he can see some of the inner wiring. Only what is visible, most of it is inside. ]
Yeah they designed it to look as ordinary as possible. Technically it piggybacks onto the Time Vortex, the dimensional plane where time and space meet. By tapping into it, we can go anywhere or anywhen, although it's smart to have limitations. It's more complicated than it seems, also by design.
[ Meaning it looks like it only has a few buttons and space, but if Newt ever got the chance to take it apart (which he won't, sorry), he'd see that it is intricate and complicated and there's a lot of data that Jack actually transmits every time he taps on it. It's better if it seems simple, he's been using it so long it's second nature. ]
It can do other things like creating holograms, tapping into communication devices and controlling them, tracking heartbeats, play music, become a beacon if someone's in a bad way and needs a rescue. We run into a lot of trouble out there in the galaxy. Sometimes all you need is one of these to stay alive.
[ He'd say he's proof of that, but he's died. A lot. ]
