I was researching to see if there was a way to stop it without fighting.
[Because that seemed more sensible, to him, than blindly facing it head-on.]
In Khalo and Wyver both, yeah. I wanted to understand what we were dealing with. What they were doing to it, if there might be a way to... I don't know, negate what they've done.
[Does he sound frustrated? He definitely is. He's spent a lot of time coming up with dead ends.]
There's just not that much written, and what there is... It just doesn't sound good. I'm not really sure where to go from here, Jim. I keep hoping for, I don't know. A breakthrough to happen or something. I think the best we can hope for is that someone figures out how to put it down, at this point.
Then you have to work towards what you think is the best solution, or support people who're doing just that. You can't hope for a breakthrough. You have to make one happen.
[ That's a general 'you', but it's fine if Ianto takes it as a personal 'you' as well. Still counts. They all have an individual responsibility to attack this problem head-on. Jim's where he's the most effective, so is everyone else, looks like. ]
Hey, I gotta go - I need to get a better look at this diagnostic.
( ooc; it's ok! i think this should get wrapped anyway since at this stage they're talking about something we've known the outcome of for a good while tho lol )
i'm sorry for my speed this week was Something. and for ianto being such a downer...
