Oldest version got psychic powers. Telepathy, telekinesis along with strength and reflexes. He's bored and wants a confrontation.

I'm not inclined to humour him. Not particularly inclined to make this public either, wouldn't want to give him an excuse to assault other people.

Thought they'd better hand the feed over to me for insights.

No, I don't know how I'm here, either. Retrotemporal genetic memory, that's a new one.

Anyway.

What exactly am I doing?

You. Do I have to talk to you? You have me a good beating and went inside my head. Could forgive the former, not so much the latter.

I remember inside that head. What makes you think he's not worse off than you, right now?

In any case, with six of us flying we have millisecond response time for rescues. The rest of us are scanning the network or nipping out to intervene. Amazing, how the more help you have the more you need it to keep going.

But yes. I'm the resident expert on me, if you want good answers you have to talk to me.

Unless you think bow-ties are natural conductors of insight, in which case I could always turn you over to an earlier version. if you'd prefer him.

I can hear you, you know.

This is a nightmare.

[deep breath, okay. Let's get this done]

Give me the other one, think the oldest... three, maybe four of us can follow the mindset.

Right, back again. So! Psionic powers and a bad case of ennui. And mad. How mad? Colorful coat and umbrella mad? Master mad? Rassilon mad?

We can all hear you.

Oh, get over it.

And my best guess is that his sense of morality is completely gone. Take the idea of right or wrong away and all that's left is wanting to have some fun. He tried to get to me, succeeded, then decided I was too calm for his taste and went into my head.

It doesn't look like he has a clear goal in mind, he wants to be entertained. Sent me to get you— pinstripe-and-trainers you and Jack.

I'm not sure Trainers is the best choice for this. He's not as emotionally detached as most of us are. Nor Jack. But I suppose we can't leave him to anyone else, either.

Three of us will join you. We'll consult with Torchwood as necessary, and only as necessary. I recommend your duplicate, his duplicate, and one more. Whoever you think you can work with most smoothly. But don't dawdle about making the choice.

I get three of you. That's very generous, it's not like he's our collective responsibility, is he?

Right then. If we can keep Jack out of it we should, bow tie would try to use him against us either by threatening him or by getting inside his head. Same with his team, so the less involvement Torchwood has, the better.

As for us, sane version of him would have to come, and my double might help confuse him, but if we're concerned about emotional detachment I'm not sure two of me is the best choice.

Oi, speak for yourself!

Gnothe Seauton. Know thyself. Very well, if a second copy of your iteration is unwise; then we shall rely on my latest iteration for both insight and confusion.

At present, the other volunteers are both the gentlemen with umbrellas and the grey-haired dandy. Pick two.

Since we're being pompous, gnothi would be a more accurate pronunciation. And I don't mind myself coming, I'm not the one concerned about being ah... what would be a good word? Explosive? I think it might make it more interesting. So up to you.

I'll take the umbrella least likely to make bad choices, bow tie's double and you lot can pick the third one.

We'll be on our way, then.

Why do you think he was talking about you?

We do remember being you, you know.

All right, that's enough of that.

Indeed.

My Third, Seventh, and Eleventh replacements will be joining you.

As you can see, sending you more of us is certainly no guarantee any more work would get done. And our rogue element is hardly the only crisis affecting this city right now. The rest of us still have our work cut out for us.

Yes, yes, I get it. Let's get this over with.

On our way. It will literally be half a second.
