Jack, though he had started to feel the strain of the virus on his body, was doing a lot better of a job at managing it, possibly because of the whole fixed point in space and time thing. He should have started to wonder what sort of a state Ianto might be in, if he was starting to feel a little queasy around the edges, but the fact of the matter was that he was too preoccupied in trying to change out of a uniform that just wouldn't come off, no matter how hard he tried. It wasn't that it didn't fit right--it was actually a pretty decent match for him, and while not loose, was definitely comfortable and not the sort of snug that he would think would have him stuck in clothes like this. It was getting ridiculous, and it was actually starting to piss him off, when Sulu's voice patched into the main comm systems.
Jack didn't really listen to what Sulu had to say as he set off at a brisk pace (not really feeling up to a jog anymore) down across the Hub and towards the tunnels where he knew Ianto and Sulu were stuck somewhere along the route of. Surely enough, probably not even two minutes since Sulu had put in the initial call for help, Jack spotted them down along the corridor. Hurrying to Ianto's side, Jack immediately crouched down beside Ianto, laying a hand on his neck and feeling for a pulse, which was definitely slow even for someone that was unconscious, but still there.
"What, you two didn't think to hurry it up to get down here?" Jack asked, maybe harsher than he should have but he was a bit worried that maybe, just maybe Ianto's pulse might have been worse before he'd touched the man and reactivated their virus-induced energy boost. "What happened anyway?" Yeah, he. Well, he really hadn't paid too much attention to the intercom past the fact that they were in trouble.
