'Okay,' Tosh said slowly, still double checking all the details to make sure she had it right. She gently held the long fleshly cord and surprisingly, didn't look grossed out by it, which Ianto had to admit, he certainly was. 'This should work,' Tosh added, moving towards Jack and pressing that fleshy cord against his torso. It melded into his skin with disturbing ease, creating a large umbilical cord. Tosh inserted the other end into a strange looking unit.

'That's disgusting,' Ianto said.

'It's alien,' Jack replied.

'How do you feel?' Tosh asked.

Jack gave it a moment. 'Yeah, definitely better. Must have been down to my last reserves.'

'Lucky we were able to find a tethering cord in time,' Tosh replied. 'Can't have you running out of energy whilst I still need you to explain how this all works.' She looked at Ianto. 'Okay, your turn.'

He groaned. 'Do I really have to? I feel like a mobile phone being docked to a charger.'

'Well, you basically are. At least until we figure out a way to reverse the process.'

He grimaced, watching a second fleshy cable being attached to his side. 'Great. I'm just a human appliance now.'
