Jack Harkness looked over his new hire, he tried desperately not to think of him as Owen's replacement, Doctor Samuel Richards, former UNIT physician, hailing all the way from Australia.
J: "He likes to collect rift debris. Has gotten his hands onto some dangerous items, we trade with him, we give him shiny but useless baubles."
S: "Ah, a Bower Bird."
J: "A what?"
S: "Bower Bird, it is what we called the non-threatening collectors back in Aus."
I: "What do you call the threatening collectors?"
S: "Deceased."
J: "We don't go around killing civilians here."
S: "I was joking Captain. Don't get your knickers knotted."
