J: "You are going to tell me how you got that Cyberman into the hub."
I: "You haven't figured it out."
J: "You tell me! Right now!"
I: "I am not the one that you ignored."
J: "I am not in the mood for your accusations."
I: "A non-human sentience located in the hub."
J: "What!?"
I: "You have dismissed it, regarded it as nothing more than a tool to be discarded when not useful."
J: "What are you talking about!"
I: "No pretty body for you to admire, to leer at, to fuck, you don't believe it to be alive enough for you to give any consideration."
J: "STOP YOUR GAMES!"
I: "Mainframe, she's alive! And what you did to her when you took over caused her so much pain."
J: "Mainframe's not alive."
I: "How small minded of you. Sentient, semi-organic, non-humanoid, telepathic computer circuitry. I bet you never have run into that kind of technology before!"
J: "There is no way Mainframe is alive."
I: "A rift in time and space, snatching debris and detritus from all of the universe. Perhaps even from places that are nothing more than legends."
J: "No it can't be. I - I would have known."
I: "Are you done? I need to get cleaned up. Goodnight sir."

End Notes: Did Ianto imply that Mainframe is Gallifreyan? I like how Ianto implied that he knew what the TARDIS was, that he knew Jack was a former companion, and yet also imply that he knew nothing.
In my mind when Jack took over he shut down what he thought was London surveillance, but was actually nodes of Mainframe. And he wasn't all that gentle when doing it.
