just_the_doctorOkay, the Doctor thinks as he switches off the communications circuit, what do we have? The list comes to him pretty quickly.
Stated objectives:
1. Rescue Rose
2. Save Earth
3. Destroy All Daleks
Assets:
1. TARDIS
2. Jack Harkness
3. Satellite Five
Liabilities:
1. Half a Million Daleks
2. Hundred or So Civilians
3. Did I Mention There Were Half a Million Daleks?
"Right," he says, rubbing his hands together. "First things first. Jack? Let's go get our girl." He heads for the TARDIS, not looking back or waiting for Jack to follow. He would. Jack Harkness, the Doctor had come to understand, was a rogue, but an honest and honorable one. Much like the Doctor himself. You have to respect a man like that. You'd trust him with your life if the cause was just.
Trust and respect. So much that neither of them so much as blink when the Dalek mothership launches the missile strike. They'll get the job done, because anything else is unacceptable.
