Alex was rudely awoken when the Tardis lurched and she had to grab at the bedhead to keep from falling right off. She cursed under her breath as the shaking continued, eventually figuring she couldn't climb out of bed normally, she let go and rolled to the ground, landing with a thud. There was a static crackle from somewhere in the room and Alex looked around.

"Alex, Rose. We've got an emergency" The Doctor's voice spoke. Alex stood shakily, holding onto the walls for support as she tried to find where there were apparently speakers in her bedroom. "I need you to get dressed and meet me in the console room right away"

"On it" Rose's voice came through.

"Alex?" The Doctor asked.

"Since when was there a sound system in my room?"

"Not the best time, Lex"

"Shut up. Fine, I'm on my way"

There was another crackle of static and Alex knew it had been turned off. How long had that been there? She stumbled to her closet, throwing on the closest pair of jeans and shirt. She slipped her converse on, hopping out into her room as she finished tugging the second one on. She fell to the ground at the next lurch, as she was only on one foot, and cursed under her breath as she jumped up and grabbed her jacket by the door, slipping it on quickly as she ran down the halls. She ran right into Rose on the way and they both stopped to steady each other.

"Are you sure about that T-shirt?" Alex asked, frowning down at the Union Flag printed shirt she wore. The shirt that made it quickly clear what the 'emergency' happening was.

"Too early to say, I'm taking it out for a spin" Rose told her. The two made their way quickly to the console room, stumbling over to the console and Alex quickly got to work on calming the ship while the Doctor tracked down the 'space junk'.

"What's the emergency?" Rose asked, standing beside the Doctor.

"Its mauve" He replied quickly.

"Mauve?" Rose questioned, following him as he rushed around to the other aide of the console. Alex moved the other way, stopping where he had just been, knowing how to work with him.

"Universally recognised color for danger" The two spoke unison.

"What happened to red?" Rose asked, not even surprised by them.

"That's just humans" The Doctor waved off. "By everyone else's standards, red's camp. Oh, the misunderstandings. All those red alerts, all that dancing" Alex and the Doctor swapped sides again and the latter gestured to the screen for Rose to look.

"It's got a very basic flight computer. I've hacked in, slaved the Tardis. Wherever it goes, we go" He explained.

"And how safe is it?" Rose asked looking wary.

"Totally" The Doctor responded without hesitation. Part of the console exploded suddenly and Alex cried out in pain as her hand burned.

"Reasonably!" She snapped.

"Okay, reasonably" The Doctor agreed. "Should've said reasonably there, sorry" Alex shot him a quick glare but they both knew she was more annoyed than actually mad at him.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" He cried suddenly, circling the console again. "It's jumping time tracks, getting away from us"

"Then follow it!" Alex shouted back exasperatedly.

"What exactly is this thing?" Rose asked, confused.

"No idea" The Doctor replied.

"And why are we chasing it?"

"It's mauve and dangerous" He stopped by the monitor and took a look. "And about thirty seconds from the centre of London"

"Goddamnit London!" Alex cried annoyedly, but smiling when she heard Rose laugh. She moved to look over the Doctor's shoulder, watching the numbers in Gallifreyan that she didn't understand but had memorised.

"Incoming!" She warned, seconds before the Tardis landed with a thud. Alex had held on to Rose as they landed, managing to keep them both up as the Doctor fell to the floor. She laughed, looking down at him as she released the blonde.

"You right there?" She asked, smirking.

"Shut up" He replied quickly, jumping to his feet and making his way to the door. He stepped out with Alex right behind him as always. She looked around them as Rose stepped out last, closing the door behind her. They appeared to be behind a row of houses somewhere in London.

"Do you know how long we can knock around space without having to bump into Earth?" The Doctor asked.

"Five days?" Rose suggested. "Or is that just when we're out of milk?"

"All the species in the universe and it has to come from a cow" The Doctor shook his head. They started walking. "Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month"

"A month?" Rose asked incredulously. "We were right behind it!"

"It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We were bound to be a little bit out. Do you wanna drive?" He asked Rose.

"Yes" Alex answered quickly.

"Not by yourself" The Doctor scoffed, making Alex scowl.

"I'd do better than you"

"No you wouldn't"

"I would've passed my test"

"You don't know that"

"Yeah, how much is 'a little'?" Rose interrupted, knowing they'd go on forever if she didn't.

"A bit" The two said together.

"Is that exactly a bit?"

"Ish" They both answered. The Doctor looked over at Alex.

"So what's this one then?" He asked knowing it was obvious that this had been an episode. "Particularly good or particularly bad?" Alex thought about it a moment.

"Mixed feelings" She answered honestly. He nodded.

"Alright then"

"What's the plan then? Are you going to do a scan for alien tech or something?" Rose asked. The Doctor raised an eyebrow at her.

"Rose, it hit the middle of London with a very loud bang. I'm gonna ask" He told her, showing her his psychic paper.

"'Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids'" Rose read.

"Psychic paper, it tells you-"

"Whatever you want it to tell me. I remember" Rose interrupted.

"Sorry"

"Not very Spock is it? Just asking?" She asked the Doctor, who was crouching down and working on a locked door with the sonic screwdriver.

"Door, music, people, what do you think?" He asked in return.

"I think you should do a scan for alien tech" The girls said at once. The Doctor didn't respond.

"Give me some Spock!" Rose continued. "For once, would it kill ya?"

"Are you sure about that T-shirt?" He asked, glancing up at her. Rose looked down at her shirt, frowning.

"What's wrong with this shirt?" She asked, glancing at Alex, who simply shrugged. That was when she heard it, the voice. It was a lot creepier in real life. She turned around as did Rose, both looking for the source of the voice.

"Come on if you're coming, won't take a minute" The Doctor told them over his shoulder, opening the door and heading inside.

"Rose, go with him" Alex told her friend, not looking around.

"But-"

"Go" She insisted, meeting her eyes over her shoulder. "I've got it" Rose hesitated but nodded, following the Doctor inside. Alex looked around again and quickly spotted the child on the roof. Jamie… She started off, quickly looking for a way up. She ran up the steps and stopped right below the child.

"Oh god" She muttered under her breath. She knew that Jamie wasn't exactly alive and that he would be fine in the end but it wasn't a nice thing to see a kid on the edge of a rooftop. A rope swung into view and Alex looked up at the barrage balloon in the sky, swallowing nervously. Well, she already sent Rose away and someone had to meet Jack.

Taking a deep breath, Alex grabbed hold of the rope and began to climb, as high as she could go, using the brick wall for leverage.

"Balloon!" Jamie cried suddenly. Alex's eyes widened as the rope started away from the roof of the building. Alex was silent in her fear, looking around with wide eyes. She realised something, hanging thousands of feet in the air during a German air raid was far more terrifying than the show could portray.

Alex felt her hands slip slightly and gasped, tightening her grip even though the rope was hurting her hands and aggravating the burn already there. She cried out in pain and terror as she slipped again.

"Any time now Jack" She muttered under her breath. "I could be meeting Nancy right now" She spotted Big Ben nearby and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she slipped again and suddenly the rope was gone and she was falling. Alex screamed. But it was over as soon as it had started and Alex was suddenly surrounded by a blue light. She looked around with wide eyes, but she knew exactly what was happening.

"Okay, okay, I've got you" Jack's voice filled her ears.

"Good to know" She replied breathily, sneaking a glance below her. There was still thousands of feet of air between her and the ground and she looked up quickly, whimpering in fear.

"You'll be alright, hold on" Jack told her. "I'm just programming your decent pattern. Keep as still as you can and keep your hands and feet inside the light field"

"Not a problem" She squeaked. "I think I'm too scared to move"

"Well you're going to have to, because I need you to switch your cell phone off"

"Um…"

"Seriously, it interferes with my instrument"

"You know, people never actually believe that" She mumbled, pulling out her phone and switching it quickly off.

"Thank you, that's much better"

"Oh, yeah. That makes me feel better" Alex scoffed. "I'm hanging thousands of feet in the air during a German air raid, but you know, at least my phone's off! Did I mention I'm terrified of heights?!" Her voice was higher than normal and her last few words came out squeaky. Jack laughed.

"Be with you in a moment" He told her. There was silence and Alex squeezed her eyes shut tight, trying to level off her breathing and ignore the fact that she wasn't standing on anything. "Ready for you, hold tight!" Jack spoke again.

"To what?!" Alex shouted back, slightly hysterical.

"Fair point"

Alex was suddenly falling again and she screamed, her eyes shut tight until she stopped suddenly and someone was holding her. She was hyperventilating at that point and grabbed Jack tighter.

"Whoa, I've got you" He tried to tell her. "You're alright now" Alex didn't respond and she was still breathing far too quickly. He cursed under his breath and she was suddenly being sat down on what felt like a bed. He went to move his arms and Alex grabbed him even tighter.

"Alright, alright. You're okay now. Just listen to me okay? Listen to my voice, breathe" He encouraged. Alex didn't open her eyes but took a few deep breaths before returning to her quick breathing. "Alright, see, you can do it. Keep going" He told her. She did as he said, focussing on the feeling of something underneath her and soon she was breathing normally again. She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at him. "Careful, the tractor beam can scramble your head a little" He told her. She simply stared back at him. Damn, he was even better looking in real life

"Hello" She said, rather breathlessly. He grinned back at her.

"Hello" He replied.

"Hello" Alex repeated. She hadn't realised what she'd done until Jack raised his eyebrows at her questioningly. "Sorry" She told him quickly. "I already said that"

"You alright now?" He asked her.

"Yeah, fine. Were you expecting me to faint or something?"

"Well, you look a little dizzy" He pointed out.

"Me? You're not even in focus" She responded without thinking. "Oh" She mumbled. The last thing she heard was Jack laughing as she felt his arms around her again, and then everything disappeared.

Alex blinked her eyes open slowly, thinking over the last few minutes in her memory for a moment before sitting up in the bed. She looked around for a moment, finding Jack at the front of the ship in the pilot seat, now turning to face her. Alex stood and stepped a little closer slowly.

"Better now?" He asked.

"Any lights?" She asked in response. Jack moved and lights turned on, making Alex blink rapidly for a moment.

"Hello" Jack nodded to her.

"Hello" She responded quietly, tugging at the hem of her shirt slightly shyly.

"Hello" Jack smiled. Alex laughed.

"Let's not start that again" She shook her head.

"Okay" Jack laughed. Alex thought over what to say for a moment but found she was still smiling and quickly realised the reason why.

"In the sea of British" She said simply, gesturing to him. Jack laughed.

"You too" he nodded. "What're you doing in London?"

"I could ask you the same question, Captain Jack" Alex smirked. Jack's smile fell.

"What?"

"You heard me, Harkness"

There was a moment of silence as Alex leaned against the wall, waiting for him to talk first, while he waited for her to talk first.

"So, London. Why?" Alex asked eventually.

"133 squadron, Royal Air force. American volunteer" he recited, handing her what looked like and ID badge. Alex read it, nodding as if she were impressed, before flipping it closed.

"Liar" She smirked. He paused again, unsure how to react.

"Psychic paper" She pointed out, waving it at him. "Tells me whatever you want it to? Ring any bells?" He sat back slightly, not denying anything.

"How did you know?"

"Well, firstly, I have a friend who uses one of these, I've been bugging him to give me one" She explained.

"No dice?"

"Nah, secondly" She flipped the paper open again, reading over it as she talked. "You just handed me a piece of paper that says you're single and you work out"

"Tricky thing, psychic paper" Jack told her, leaning forward again.

"Can't let your mind wander when you're handing it over" Alex agreed, handing it back as if to demonstrate. He opened it and grinned at her.

"Oh, am I?" He asked cheekily. Alex's eyes widened.

"What?" Her voice squeaked.

"Apparently you think I am 'hotter than you'd expected'?" He read. Alex silently stared at him with wide eyes and an otherwise blank expression. "You also wonder if I'd make some doctor jealous, the answer would be yes by the way"

"Okay, let's try this conversation without the psychic paper" Alex suggested quickly, her face burning. Jack laughed, standing.

"That would be better wouldn't it?" He agreed, tucking it away.

"Nice spaceship" Alex commented, admiring the interior.

"Gets me around" He agreed modestly.

"Not as James Bond as I'd have liked" Alex said slowly, watching his reaction.

"I'd say it was a little James Bond" He countered, seeming almost offended.

"Guess you're not local then" She commented more then questioned. Jack narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What tells you that?" He questioned. Alex leaned forward coyly, her arm bracing her against the wall.

"The fact that the first James Bond doesn't come out for another twelve years" She reminded him. He watched her a moment before looking down at his wrist and Alex grinned at the sight of the vortex manipulator.

"Touch screen cell phone, digital watch and fabrics that won't be around for at least another two decades… Guess you're not local either" He determined, looking back up as she sat down in a seat beside the window.

"You guess correctly" She agreed, leaning on the window but pulling away instantly as she gasped in pain, having forgotten about her hands. She didn't look at Jack, trying to play it off, but he'd noticed.

"Burn your hands on the rope?" He asked, concerned. Alex sent him a sideways glance.

"Already burned one before then too" She told him quietly. "So nobody down there can see us?"

"No. Can I have a look at your hands for a moment?" He asked, stepping closer. Alex sat back down, eyeing him warily. She knew Jack was trustworthy in the future, but right now he was just a conn man, so she had reason to be a little unsure. "Please?" He added, sitting down beside her. She watched him for another moment before slowly holding her hands out. He copied her, moving slowly as well as he ran a scanner over her hands.

"You can stop acting now" He told her. "You should know, I can spot a time agent a mile away"

"I know" She replied evenly.

"I've been expecting one of you guys to show up. Though not, I must say, by barrage balloon. Do you often travel that way?"

"Yeah Jack. I, terrified of heights, purposely travel by barrage balloon on a regular basis" She told him sarcastically. He smiled slightly as he slipped off his scarf to wrap around her wrists. "What are you doing?" She asked, frowning down at his hands.

"Try to keep still" He said instead. He leaned over, pressing some kind of switch above her head and their eyes met as Alex realised just how close they were. There was a beeping sound and Alex looked around quickly, trying to find the source before what looked like glowing fireflies appeared above her hands. Alex gasped in delight as she watched them move over her marked hands.

"Nanogenes!" She cried happily.

"Sub-atomic robots" Jack agreed. "The air in here's full of them" Alex watched them work for another moment before Jack flicked the switch again and they disappeared. "They just repaired three layers of your skin" He told her, untying her hands.

"Cool" She muttered, holding one of her hands close to her face to inspect their handiwork. Alex smirked to herself at the thought.

"Handy to have around" She joked, waving at Jack as he stood. He smiled.

"We'll get down to business" He told her, picking up a bottle of champagne.

"What business?" She asked, leaning forward slightly.

"Shall we have a drink on the balcony?" He suggested, holding her gaze as he pressed a button to his side. Part of the roof lowered into the ship, making Alex smile at it.

"Cool" She muttered again. Jack smiled back at her, starting up.

"Bring up the glasses" He told her. Alex jumped up and grabbed the glasses from where Jack had grabbed the bottle and quickly followed him. She hesitated at the top, stepping slowly onto what looked like nothing there.

"Ooh, I've gotta be standing on something" She commented, looking down with wide eyes. Jack laughed, taking something that rather looked sonic out of his pocket and pressing a button on it. The ship below them seemed to appear and Alex's fear turned to wonder.

"Cool?" He asked cheekily, making Alex laugh.

"Your spaceship is invisible"

"Yeah"

"And tethered up to Big Ben"

"First rule of active camouflage, park somewhere you'll remember" Jack declared, popping the cork from the bottle with a loud bang. Alex laughed and Jack joined in a moment later, filling up the glasses Alex held out.

The two sat down, sipping the champagne as Jack flirted shamelessly, smirking every time Alex blushed or laughed. Alex looked back out over the streets of London, thinking about where the Doctor and Rose might be now. How much had she changed by sending Rose with him? How much had she changed by being here instead of her? What if Rose could've gotten hurt by Jamie? And Alex wasn't even there. Her happy smile from being with Jack quickly faded at these thoughts and she stood, leaving her glass on the roof of the ship beside him.

"I'll need to get going" She told Jack, stepping gingerly forward to look over the edge of the ship. She stepped back quickly and briefly wondered how she'd get down.

"We're discussing business" Jack complained.

"This isn't business, this is champagne" She corrected, managing a smile.

"I try never to discuss business on a clear head" He told her, standing and making his way over to her. "Are you travelling alone? Are you authorised to negotiate with me?"

"Depends" Alex said slowly. "What exactly would we be negotiating?"

"I have something for the Time Agency. Something they'd like to buy. Are you in power to make payment?"

"Well…" Alex trailed off, staring out into the city as she thought. "I'll need to talk to my, companion" She said carefully.

"Companion?" Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, he might start worrying, alone with Rose"

"He?"

"And Rose" She reminded, looking back at him. There was a moment of silence. "Do you have the time?" She asked. Jack cleared his throat as he pulled the same device out of his pocket, pressing the button and Big Ben lit up and chimed. Alex turned quickly, jumping back and Jack placed a hand on her waist to keep her from falling as she laughed.

"Okay, that was pretty awesome" She grinned.

"So…" Jack said slowly, moving his other hand to her waist as she turned to face him properly. "When you say companion. Just how disappointed should I be?"

"Um" She started, but cut herself off quickly as her voice squeaked. "Well, I wouldn't really say, disappointed" She froze as Jack moved to kiss the back of her hand. "I- I mean… We aren't…" He smiled at her.

"Do you like Glen Miller?" He asked, lifting his little device a pressing a button on the side. An old sounding song started up and he started up a slow dance. Rose would be okay…

"It's 1941" he started saying. "The height of the London Blitz. The height of the German bombing campaign. And something else has fallen on London- A fully equipped Chula Warship. The last one in existence, armed to the teeth. And I know where it is, because I parked it" Alex tried to pay attention, she really did. But one of his hands was on her lower back, holding her a bit closer than she had expected, his other hand holding hers out to the side. Alex was confused with herself, not entirely sure how comfortable she was with it. She certainly wasn't used to it but she almost felt she was enjoying dancing with Jack.

"If the agency can name the right price, I can get it for you. But in two hours a German bomb will fall on it and destroy it forever" Jack continued, looking at Alex seriously now. "That's the deadline. That's the deal. And now, shall we discuss payment?" There was a pause.

"Sorry, I can't focus on anything you're saying" Alex told him quietly. He caught her eye, looking down at her seriously.

"Two hours, the bomb falls. There'll be nothing left but dust and a crater" He repeated. Another pause.

"Nope, nothing. Can't retain a word you're saying" She shook her head.

"You're not listening to any of this?"

"You used to be a Time Agent. But now you're a freelancer" Alex summarised, getting her focus back.

"Well that's a little harsh" He pulled her closer suddenly, his flirtatious smirk in place. "I like to think of myself as a criminal" Alex laughed.

"Yeah, I bet you do" She agreed.

"So, these companions of yours, do they handle the business?"

"Well, one of them, you could say that"

"Well maybe we should go and find them"

"How are you gonna do that?" Alex frowned, actually confused.

"Easy, I'll do a scan for alien tech" Jack told her, letting her go to work on something on his vortex manipulator.

"Finally, a professional" She laughed, making him grin.

The two of them landed in a dark empty hallway. Alex glanced up and down the hall, pulling slowly away from Jack's arm around her waist, trying to ignore the slight dizziness cutesy of the Vortex Manipulator.

"Hello?" Jack called. Alex glanced around again as he started down one direction.

"Hello?" She copied, following. Soon enough the Doctor and Rose walked out into the hall, approaching them.

"Alex!" Rose called, rushing forward. Alex ran forward too and the girls embraced, Rose pulling away to look her over. "Are you okay? We couldn't find you"

"Oh, I'm fine" Alex told her. She caught sight of Jack and seemed to understand immediately, sending her friend another glance as she grinned at him.

"Good evening. Hope I'm not interrupting, Jack Harkness" Jack told the Doctor politely, shaking his hand. He caught Rose's eye and sent her a wink before continuing. "I've been hearing all about you on the way over" The Doctor glanced at Alex, who was standing beside Rose still.

"He knows. I had to tell him about us being Time Agents" Alex told him, hinting. Rose frowned slightly, looking to the Doctor but not saying anything to give them away. The Doctor simply nodded.

"And it's a real pleasure to meet you Mr Bond" Jack told him, patting the Doctor on the shoulder. He turned and walked off, leaving the Doctor and Rose to stare at Alex rather bemusedly while she grinned.

"Mr Bond?" The Doctor asked.

"If it means anything, he knows I'm messing with him" She told him, laughing. The Doctor looked at Rose, who shrugged herself.

"Well she has a point" Rose agreed "What is she supposed to say, you don't have a name. Don't you ever get tired of 'Doctor'? Doctor who?"

"Nine centuries in, I'm coping" He told her, turning to Alex. "Where've you been? We're in the middle of a London Blitz. It's not a good time for a stroll"

"Who's strolling?" Alex asked casually, starting to walk in the direction Jack had gone. "I went by barrage balloon"

"What?!" Rose and the Doctor asked, following.

"Hey, remind me, what's a Chula ship?" Alex asked, turning back to him. He stopped.

"Chula?"

They walked into the ward where Jack was busy scanning some of the bodies.

"This isn't possible. How could this happen?" He was asking.

"What kind of Chula ship landed here?" The Doctor asked, making him turn.

"What?"

"He said it was a war ship. He stole it and parked it somewhere, where a bomb's gonna fall on it in two hours. Unless we make him an offer" Alex told him.

"What kind of war ship?" The Doctor pressed.

"Does it matter?" Jack demanded, annoyed now. He glanced at Alex and she froze at the look he sent her. All of a sudden it was like they hadn't been flirting and laughing and dancing less than five minutes ago. He looked at her like he'd never seen her and she didn't understand. Alex made sure she didn't react outwardly, fixing a neutral expression and staring right back at him. "It's got nothing to do with this!"

"This started at the bomb site" The Doctor returned angrily. "It's got everything to do with it. What kind of warship?"

"An ambulance!" Jack admitted, trying to prove it wasn't his fault. He turned on his vortex manipulator. "Look" A hologram of the ship appeared above the device and Jack glanced up at Alex, expecting a grin and a 'cool'. She simply crossed her arms and stared at the hologram, not meeting his eyes.

"That's what you chased through the time vortex" He continued, looking back at the Doctor. "It's space junk. I wanted to kid you it was valuable. It's empty, I made sure of it. Nothing but a shell. I threw it at you. Saw your time travel vehicle. Love the retro look by the way, nice panels, threw you the bait-"

"Bait?" Rose asked, frowning.

"I wanted to sell it to you and then destroy it before you found out it was junk" He told them.

"You said it was a war ship" Rose frowned.

"They have ambulances in wars" Jack defended, crossing the room away from them, annoyed. "It was a con, I was conning you, that's what I am, I'm a conn man. I thought you were Time Agents but you're not, are you?"

"Just a couple more free-lancers" Alex shot back.

"Ahh… should've known. The way you guys are blending in with the local color. I mean, Flag Girl and Little Miss Soldier are bad enough, but U-Boat Captain?"

The three of them looked down at their clothes self-consciously.

"Anyway, whatever's happening here has got nothing to do with this ship" Jack insisted.

"What really is happening here, Doctor?" Alex asked, looking over the 'patients' in the beds. She knew what was happening, but she also knew Rose was meant to have asked. The Doctor didn't take his eyes off Jack as he answered.

"Human DNA's being rewritten by an idiot"

"Why d'you mean?" Rose asked, looking up at him.

"I dunno, some kind of virus. It's converting human beings into these things" He explained, nodding at the bodies. Alex really looked them over and found for the fourth time that day, it was a lot milder on TV. So she stood back by the Doctor as he spoke. "But why? What's the point?"

Rose was looking over one of the bodies when suddenly they all sat up. Rose stumbled backward away from them and Alex grabbed her and stood between her and the gas-mask 'zombies'. They were all shouting 'mummy' all at once and it became rather loud very quickly.

"What's happening?" Rose asked fearfully.

"I don't know" The Doctor admitted, looking around at them. The four of them were all gathered into one spot and soon backed against one of the walls. The Doctor and Jack on the outside with Alex still in front of Rose behind them.

"Don't let them touch you" The Doctor warned.

"What happens when they touch you?" Rose asked.

"You're looking at it" Alex stated grimly.

They got closer and closer and Alex was almost sure there was no way out of this one. She hugged Rose tightly and closed her eyes.

In case you forgot, Alex's jacket is one of those green combat jackets, which is the reason for Jack's nickname for her when he points out their clothes. She also has a little thing for James Bond, which accounts for her references in place of Rose's 'Spock' references.
