She grins, seeing where he's going with this, "Give me half an hour. If I work with-" She shuffles through the papers and pulls out the blueprint for the inhibitor chip, "This, I should be done by then. Faster, if Ianto helps me."
Jack nods, saying, "Go. Tell me as soon as it's done, cause we're going to need it as an easily transferable file. Jacque..."
He turns to you, suddenly much more serious, "I never thought I would ask this of you. I promised I'd never put you in danger, but..."
You just nod, saying, "How am I getting in there?"
"You'll have to ask to be upgraded."
Everyone thought it was best not to tell Ianto. It's safer that way.
Although it means that you can't say goodbye. Even if you do plan on coming out alive...
So they got you a backpack, putting a couple guns and spare ammo inside, and a data stick and mobile, both equipped with the virus as the first and only files, and Tosh gave you the run-down of the most likely technologies you'll encounter.
By the time they've fixed you up a bit (thanks to The Doctor's wardrobe) and given you hide-able earplugs, you look like an average college student. Not the best disguise for heading to the basement, but Tosh reports that Ianto says you might not have to. You just hope they haven't figured out that they're surrounded yet.
"Be careful in there. If things start to turn south, just tell me through the coms and get out of there," your dad says.
The Brigadier nods, coming to stand behind him. "That's right. I already have some people working on an emergency computer bomb. If you can't get the code in before they try to upgrade you, don't worry. Just high-tail it out of there and we'll go to plan B."
"Good luck," The Doctor says simply.
With that done and very little plan in mind, you head inside.
It's going to be a hell of an experience, that's for sure.
You barely even walk into the building before running into a Cyberman.
"Stop. You are unprogrammed and not upgraded. You will follow or be declared incompatible."
It turns to leave and suddenly two more are on either side of you. Even if you wanted to leave, you couldn't.
So you follow.
The first thing you notice is it's cold. Very cold. And loud.
The sound of heavy machinery and a speaker system are heard even before you enter the second lift. And that's with the com and earplugs that you were given. How big is it, down there?
But by now you know why Jack and the team got out so easily - the Cybermen have one major weakness: they're /really/ slow.
After a slightly terrifying ride down, the doors open to reveal...
A room bigger than the hub. Bigger than ALL of the hub.
You are so fucked.
