If someone were to ask Jack Harkness why he'd turned the Sensorium into a perfect replica of the Boeshane Peninsula, he probably wouldn't be able to answer. Not a real answer, anyway -- he'd shrug, give his most charming smile, and say it seemed like a good idea at the time, and change the subject to something far more interesting.

The fact that it's been over two thousand years since he last saw home (even if most of that was spent in a seemingly endless cycle of suffocation and death -- and let's not think of that now) might have something to do with it, as might the fact that 21C Earth didn't have VR worth the name, and he was never one to keep pictures.

It's... strange, seeing the place he grew up again, with all that's happened. Strange seeing it so empty, too, without friends, family... Gray. But an AI wouldn't be the same.

An AI can't forgive.

So instead of engaging in more emotional self-flagellation than he is already, he's just stretched out on the gentle slope of a sand dune, watching the ocean. Remembering.

He'd welcome an interruption, even if he's not quite up to seeking anyone out at the moment.

While the newly pod-released members of the crew happened to mostly miss each other in the Pod Caverns and the clothing chamber, they all happen to congregate in the Weapons and Possessions Lockers at the same time. This cavernous warehouse of a chamber has shelves and shelves and racks of belongings and weapons that go off as far as the eye can see. Everything from massive sidearms to impossibly huge swords, to Hello Kitty lunchboxes.

Their own belongings are here near the front--they've been moved to make finding them more easy, but it will take a bit of hunting.

Either way, they won't be searching alone. Everyone's piling in at the same time.

It was the worst possible time for it. The crew was about to be embroiled in a battle for their lives. Half of them were infested with alien parasites and restrained in MedBay.

||Pod Release Protocols Initating,|| Stacy's familiar voice sounded out to all the podmates.

In the Pod Caverns, there were the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slid out onto the floors, covered in slime.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.
