[This is a very worried-looking Doctor on the screen. He's in what appears to be a normal apartment bedroom.]

Everyone--I don't know if there'll be any more of this bombing but I've a nasty suspicion that there will be. Ordinarily I wouldn't do this but I've no idea how many people can get to the shelters in time, so--

[He picks up the netbook and turns so that now it's looking at... a Police Box. In the corner of the bedroom, right next to the bed.]

This is my ship--the TARDIS. It's dimensionally transcendent, as you can see...

[Now he walks in the open door of said Police Box and HOLY SHIT THERE'S THAT OTHER BACKGROUND. You know, the background with the vast room full of Victoriana and Wellsian tech and whatnot.]

It's safe from any physical attack, so if you don't feel as though you can make it to the shelters, it's here in apartment 509.

[In an angry sarcastic tone]

And here I thought I was done trying to go about my business while being inconvenienced by bombs. 

Damn you Korea, and damn you Initiative.

I'm heading to the clinic. So, there will be at least one surgeon if needed.

[ the video feed opens to a pair of pale blue eyes, slightly wide as they observe the device, although other than that, the expression of the young girl they belong to remains neutral. there's silence for a good ten seconds before she's sure that it is, in fact, recording, though this is a quiet realization and her voice comes suddenly as she addresses whoever might be listening. ]

I would like further information, if at all possible. [ her accent is rather heavy; german, and her speech sounds a bit flat. the words are practiced - perhaps not out loud, but they're carefully selected, and the broadcast is not made by improvisation. ] The woman that spoke to me did not give many details.

[ a beat. not knowing how to really handle the situation, she falls back on what she does know -- what her father taught her. so she begins to recite: ]

I live in Leipzig, Germany. Population zero point seven million peoples. I live at number seven Vicenza Platz. I like literature and sports, in particular tennis and athletics. I go to school at The Klaus College Gymnazium and my best friends are Rudy Günter and Clara Scheitz.

[ a pause, before she quickly adds, ]

I also have a dog named Trudy.

[a soft crackle as the tablet is set down, then--]

Welcome to the Initiative. Enjoy this bomb.

Really, what kind of greeting is this?

[--a pause --]

Anyone know if these tunnels will really hold up or are we going to get buried alive?
