so what you're telling me is that this ship could have WAY better options and instead we're stuck with whatever the dispensers are kicking out or that fruitcohol stuff
[ it's not his real name, but he's gone by jack harkness for far, far longer than he ever went by javic thane. ]
Jack Harkness. Captain Jack Harkness. Call me Jack, and to make a long story short: I'm a time traveler that monitors/controls activity from a rift in space and time.
so lemme guess you look for stuff that happens in the timeline that might have gotten screwed up somehow and fix it? or do you make other people do the dirty work?

Sometimes. Other times we're tracking down people and things that came through the rift that shouldn't be here. There's a lot that the human race isn't ready to handle yet, alien technology that could be dangerous if it got into the right hands. Which is why we always handle our own cases. We've had authority that extends beyond the government to handle these threats since the 1800s.
