"You have a great bring balloon and no rope? What exactly was your end goal when you were going to properly land?!" He only says that because he's really not sure he has one. The bug has a lot of things but it isn't as though he does a lot of spelunking admittedly.

He gives the other a moment to make sure that he doesn't have anything of that nature in the basket of his current ride, but he wont take too long because something about this situation seems like time might be a factor.

This is a first time for a situation like this.

So critical thinking may not be this guys greatest skill, which is fair considering the circumstances and all. He's thankful for the fact that he does find a rope because it makes this situation a hell of a lot easier, not to say it's easy at all. He's quick to grab the rope and while he isn't really one of UNITs soldiers there had been a fair amount of basics required to learn to join up.

Which means he can tie up a pretty decent knot to the side of one of the runs in the fence keeping people from the Thames and the timing couldn't be better because there is a very distinct sound of fabric tearing it would seem the older material of the balloon having a hard time with the stress of being draped over the bridge.

Which is so not good.

"Quickly now! I'm not sure how much longer we have!" The good news is even if the balloon does end up in the water someone from UNIT is bound to fetch it up and keep it 'safe' for the other. The bad news is if they don't get him out of there they might be fishing him out too and Luke can't swim so... "Hang tight mate, we'll get you out of there!" He's a little hard to see admittedly so he's not sure how easily this is going to be, the good news is despite his lithe frame he's a lot stronger than he looks and he's a master of physics, he moves to swing the rope around a lamp post and then around one of the runs of the railings. With haste he fashions himself a couple of knots for grip ad a tight loop for later.

"You've got a hold of it mate?"

He is likely not the best at reassuring. Mostly he 'tells it how it is' but in this case he can be a little bit hopeful because there's two options. Drop or not. He's not about to let the other drop.

But Hype Squad is a new one.

Any assistance will be helpful but the good news is he's made light work with the pulley system he's rigged up. Making light work pulling the other, within just a few minutes he at least has him up and over the rail of the bridge grabbing a hold of the other and using a last good push to pull him at least to the safety of the side walk.

The other is entirely not what he was expecting. His outfit is both normal and strange all at once. He looks like he's about to lead a parade not dangle off bridges in the middle of the night. He is careful to extend his hand in greeting and allows the other to either accept or not, he's not entirely sure customs in this persons world. Though he does't look entirely dissimilar to himself.

"I shall get a team out to recover your, 'vehicle'. But in the meantime are you alright?"
