Sulu shook his head slightly, squeezing Ianto's shoulder to reassure him as he began to talk. He didn't want to break the other's concentration or his resolve, and so he kept talking to a minimum. He could tell from how Ianto was talking, how he looked, that this was something he'd been holding in for a long time; something that, maybe, he didn't tell anyone. Jack knew, obviously. But he wondered if it was one of those secrets that simply had to be buried, to keep from hurting you even more.

"No," he said, "You haven't told me anything about them. I know about the Daleks, but not the Cybermen." He could guess where this might be going, of course, but he knew he would let Ianto tell him everything, rather than trying to figure out the plot before it unfolded.
