[Jack is standing in the square, looking up and around at the City and then back down at the Vortex Manipulator on his wrist.] Oh, come on. You had to malfunction now? I mean you've done it before, but...

[Another few brisk taps at the wristband.] Work! If you don't work, a lovely second in command named Bernard is going to be very disappointed when he's stood up. And seriously, of all the places...

[Another sigh as he looks around him again. No way had he wanted to come back to Earth yet. It had been a couple of months but all that guilt he carried still felt as if he'd only acquired it yesterday. He wasn't ready to be here on Earth again. At least it seemed Earth-like...]

Well isn't this nifty? And convenient... [He spots the device and eyes it for a few accessing moments before picking it up. It's rare that Jack shies away from alien technology so he he instantly begins to fiddle with it. The video comes on to a brightly smiling Jack.] Ah, there we go. Captain Jack Harkness here. [And since he knows his smile is impressive, he nods his agreement with what others obviously must be thinking at the sight of it.] I know.

Seems I'm a little bit off course from where I intended to materialize. Malfunctioning Vortex Manipulator. Anyone care to put me up for the night while I work on repairing it? [A glance to his left at the coffee shop and then an arched brow back into the video screen.] I'll be sure to con you a cup of coffee for your trouble.

And who am I speaking to with such a great sounding voice? Captain Jack Harkness here. Do you run this Welcome Center?

I'm Euphemia li Britannia. Euphie. And strange as it might sound we did meet briefly once.

I do volunteer there. [She's not really sure now that Penny is back but without memories.]

Good to meet you Euphemia li Britannia. And if that isn't a mouthful, I don't know what is. Euphemia, first time I've ever heard that name, and I always remember the firsts.

[Except this time, in which he obviously doesn't remember a lot of things from the City, the people, the scenery, or ever EVER having been here.]

Well I consider myself thoroughly welcomed, so the volunteering is paying off, Euphemia.

I'm very glad to hear that. Really even without the center I think the residents of The City are welcoming. After all, they've been through the same sort of thing.

I must say not everyone handles it so easily though.

Oh, there've been a few less than welcoming duds. Luckily I'm not easily phased. In fact, I remain mostly unphased, mostly because the majority of people have been more than welcoming. Plus I'm great when under pressure.

It's good that you're great in such situations, but I hope the pressure doesn't last all the same. Do you have friends here from your world? I don't think I asked last time.

Oh, it appears I have quite a few friends here. Some of them surprising miracles as they're alive here and not in other places. Still wrapping my mind around that one. I know only a few people who can be alive again after they're dead.

Oh... Yes, the City can do such things. [She knows that very well.]

It's a surprise to those who are dead as well.

Guess it could be. Haven't really thought about it from that point of view. People who aren't usually dead knowing they were... well... dead? Yeah, surprising. Personally, I've gotten over death myself.

...You...have?

More for myself than for others. Bad subject right now. Thanks for the welcome, Euphemia. One question before I leave you to your welcome center. Say I were to want to have a chat with these Deities. How would I do that?

Of course. I can understand how it might be.

[She always hates this question, worried what the deities might do.

They have an office, but I would suggestion just calling them on this device.
