Greg hangs up and Ianto becomes obsessed with the numbers, losing track of [[time]] and becoming unable to eat. | ||
Ianto finds himself in the [[boiler room]] of Greg's home in the [[forest]], having triangulated Greg's calls three or four months ago and lost his [[memory]] due to him being used as a [[conduit]] for the numbers. Greg explains that [[alien]] technology fell from the [[sky]] when he was a young [[technician]] and Torchwood left him behind in [[the Moil]], a tear in [[reality]] caused by an explosion, to keep it closed with [[Block Transfer Computation]]s transmitted by numbers stations. By making Ianto take his place, he has got his revenge on Torchwood. | |||
