Jack turned the device in his hand and twisted it as he examined it in the illuminated light.
"Don't think this thing has a reverse," he said with a fronw before looking up at the Doctor and turning to a grin.
"Yet."
He started poking at it, pulling at tugging at a wire that stuck from the one side. "Should have a feedback loop. If I can superceed the core I should be able to root it backwards and reverse it."
He prodded. Prodded a little more, got the casing open and tugged on a new wire.
"Aha, there, got it!"
Jack looked over to the Doctor and grinned happily, pleased with himself, before activating the device again.
"Okay, how about we try again, ready to chat?"
This time, when the sonar was returned, it was audible. Audible but at first? Nothing but a screech. A screech that went right through Jack and made him lift a hand to clutch his ears.
"Well it did something. That a language you can understand?"
