Their Captain was surprisingly open to the idea of chasing the Eltrians.

“Them lot always keep some decent stuff handy, case they get into a tight spot,” he explained to Ianto, while a couple of his motley crew found the Eltrians’ trail and set the ship to follow it. “If they’re taking on live cargo they ain’t gonna want an open fight, are they? Best time to take ’em on.”

Ianto merely nodded. He couldn’t care less if they were only helping him for their own gain – they were still helping him.

“Trick is,” the Captain continued, “everyone on this ship earns their keep, or they get left behind at the next port. You’re gonna have to put your fine human sensibilities to one side and pull your weight, Mister Jones, or we’re putting you off the ship whether we’ve got your Captain back or not. Understood?”

Smiling very faintly, Ianto clarified, “You want me to lie, cheat, steal and kill with the best of your crew.”

“I’d settle for lying and stealing with the majority of the crew, actually,” the Captain told him, and Ianto’s smile got that little bit wider.

“Don’t worry,” he assured the Captain, “that won’t be a problem.”
