“Why do you continue to fight, puny humans?” the leader of the alien invasion force sneered. “You are merely delaying the inevitable. Your leader is dead and your defeat is imminent. Victory, and your world, shall soon be mine! There is nothing you can do to stop us; your only option is to surrender and then I might possibly be persuaded to spare your sorry lives.

Yep, Jack does like to make a grand entrance, but Ianto keeps him from getting too full of himself.

Thank you!
