Like Ianto, TJ has leaned into the conversation and, as John goes on, she becomes impressed. She's gone through different gates on different missions on many different occasions and she's heard the basics several times before. Everyone who gets assigned to the SGC has either heard it in person (thank you, Daniel), or by instructional video (from Daniel), but the way John just... rattled it off? Wow.
"Yeah, I mean. Colonel Sheppard's right." What can she add to that? "Dialing the ninth chevron required a lot of power, which is why they built Icarus where they did." Explosive planet. "They weren't sure they'd be able to dial it, even after the sequencing was put together. I don't know all details, but it took months and something about a code hidden in a video game-"
That's how Eli ended up with them, she knew that much.
When Ianto talks about the Rift, she gives him her own curious look. "So, do you guys just walk into it like." She points to the drawings John's made. "If you don't know where you're going or what's happening, how can you control it?"
