Ianto didn't get a word in edgeways when he arrived at the hub, Owen and Tosh were already there waiting with Jack who was holding the stapler thing they had discovered before ordering Ianto, Tosh and Owen to hide. Jack told them that Gwen was approaching the hub with a unknown woman who Jack believed was an alien and the person responsible for giving Gwen the telepathic necklace. Jack also asked them to shield their thoughts to make sure that neither Gwen nor the alien was tipped off to the others being there. Ianto shifted from his human into his fae form – it was easier to hide from both the humans and the alien (if it was an alien) then staying in his human form.
Ianto watched as Gwen walked through the cog door with a young short blonde-haired woman trailing behind her. He knew it the second he saw her that she was an alien, an Arcateenian.
"So where is it, Gwen?" the woman said looking at the extensive collection of alien artefacts which were still on display.
"Stay here, Jack has it" Gwen said, she remembered Jack taking the device up into his office before shutting himself in there to ponder over what the machine might do. Gwen did wonder whether Jack had figured out what it was, Mary refused to say but whatever it was it could hardly be important it looked nothing more than a piece of rust old junk.
"Be quick. I've got a long journey ahead of me. I might need something to eat before I go" Mary urged, the sooner she got home the sooner she could take her revenge on those imbeciles who locked her up with that guard.
"This what you're looking for?" Jack said stepping out his office with the device in hand. Ianto carefully shifted back but kept hidden.
"Jack" Gwen started but Jack interrupted.
"Friend of mine. Let's call him Vincent, that was his name after all. Regular guy, girlfriend, likes his sports, likes a beer. He starts acting a little strange, a little distracted. Suddenly he disappears for a couple of months. He comes back, and we've got to start calling him Vanessa. Since then I've always been a little nervous when a friend behaves out of character. I'm sorry we've haven't been introduced. Jack Harkness. My guess is you're not from around these parts. Now this? This is incredible. You know what it is?" Jack said looking briefly at the hidden forms of his team then back at Gwen. At first he hadn't noticed Gwen acting odd, she turned up late and did hardly any of her paperwork which was all normal for her - it wasn't until Ianto had brought up that Gwen had somehow come across an alien telepathic pendant which made Jack scroll back through that days' worth of CCTV of inside the hub and outside to see Gwen with the necklace and then meet a woman.
"Just a piece of junk. Mary said it belongs to her and since it's not alien we have no reason to keep it" Gwen said trying to reach out and take the device from Jack. Jack quickly pulled the device way; he couldn't risk Gwen doing something stupid and sending herself into the sun.
"Is that the lie she's being telling you. I thought you were in the police Gwen. What happened to the whole we need to investigate and dig a little deeper spiel you keep sprouting. This is a transporter. A two-man transporter – room for one prisoner and one guard. You want to tell us what happened to the guard, Mary?" Jack said giving Gwen an unreadable look. She had been so irritating about finding out about the victim when Carys had been possessed by the sex alien and now she didn't even look into her new friend who just happened to have an alien necklace on them.
"I killed him. But I was disturbed by this human, so I possessed her body then another came – a solider, he tried to shoot me, so I plunged my new human hand into his chest and plucked out his heart" Mary said smirking at the reaction of Gwen. Tosh, Owen and Ianto slowly stepped out of hiding, it was obvious that Mary knew they were there so no point in hiding it any longer. Gwen looked shocked, that she wasn't expecting for the rest of the team to be there this late.
