002 | The Doctor | [ Video ]

Hello everyone, [ he rubs at he ear somewhat nervously. If anyone is paying really close attention they might see flashes that his room is extremely crowded. ]

I think it's time we ask the obvious question here-how did they know? How did the people keeping us here know who exactly to bring back as ghosts?

Obviously, dimension and time travel but this. [ He gestures behind him. ] Is really doing their homework.

[ .... ]

...Yes. Thank you Adric, I know what the statistics are.

[Jack gives the Doctor a tired grin.]

Wanna have a competition on which of us has more?

[His sense of humor might be suffering too.]

And hell if I know, Doctor. No one should know about some of these people I'm seeing lately.

I suppose they want to drive in the guilt.

[ The Doctor says tiredly, rubbing at his temples. Guilt is clearly part of the goal here. ]

Clara tells me that last month it was bitterly cold, sitting on the edge of people dying from it. Now there are ghosts here.

Sounds like they might be trying a breakdown all the way around. Physical and emotional. Or mental.

I'm wondering more what's the endgame for this. Alien reality porno is seeming less likely.

[ Do you see this face he's making at you Jack? You should see this face. ]

To be honest that wasn't even on my list of possibilities-and watch your language! There's a fifteen year old in here.

[Jack just grins back at him. Typical.]

Doctor, do you really want to know what I already knew about when I was fifteen?

No, and neither does Adric.

[ ... ]

...Oi. He wasn't asking you! [ He points to a ghost with frizzy dark blonde hair. ]

[Jack eyes to direction the Doctor is pointing as best he can over a video connection.]

I hate to break it to you, Doctor, but there's no one there.
