Jack cocked his head to the side. "Well, yeah. I guess you could say we're kind of like the UKBA. But, well. Mixed with MI5. We're kind of the only line of defense here, so. If something comes up, it's pretty much on our shoulders. And UNIT, but there's way too much bureaucracy involved there for the two of us to really have any sort of affiliation. We're private run, paid for by the crown, don't have to follow orders from anyone else and we'd like to keep it that way."
Jack shrugged. "But yeah. I mean, you don't seem to be much of a threat. I can spot the military background from here, so I know that I can at least trust you for that. I figure, well. Why not? Since you're here."
Ianto tried his hardest to soften just how strong Jack was coming off, there. "Well. What he means to say is that... Jack's my boss. He's sort of the one in charge in all of this. So, if he's given you permission, then yeah. It's alright to show you around. Whether to the cells, or to Myfanwy, or...to the archives," which was exciting, but definitely less so than aliens or dinosaurs. "It's up to you, though," he said, although Jack probably wasn't going to give him a choice, now that he had a chance to show off.
