The areas turned out to be residential, and every home Leah tried had a personal computer. None, however, had any electricty coming into their (twin round pin) mains sockets, so trying to find people online was out, even if she could use a foreigncomputer with no access software.

So instead she started collecting batteries and settled down in one of the more secure first floor flats to pull apart a hifi system and construct a useable Short Wave radio. This she tuned through miles of thick white noise while adding a transmitter.

The morse code transmitter is easy. It's a few days and a lot of cannibalised electrical appliances before she perfects a battery powered motion device that will keep the SOS code on a loop on a fixed frequency, but she manages that.

That channel stays open while she starts building a new radio.

[OOC: very much open, but please do not tag if your character would be able to locate and rescue Leah. I want to keep her lost for a while]

"Oh, very much so. Not one for the letter of the law, but she has a good heart. She's a good person to have rooting for you."

The Doctor will be trying to make contact with her as soon as possible.

"Okay. I'll be here if you want me, any time."

Which she will. one advantage of superior technology! She can have the TARDIS keep tabs on Leah's frequency, and carry a comms device with her.

"Absolutely. Over and out."

The channel goes dead, but it's still open. For as long as she's still there to need it.
