Her recent conversation with 'The Innovator' convinced Babs that she had put off setting up a global broadcast system for far too long. She had gone on a caffeine binge shortly after and now, after a few days with almost no sleep, she's finished.

With a final few keystrokes her salvaged network of satellites and radio stations begin broadcasting her digitally masked voice: "This is Oracle broadcasting on and monitoring all available frequencies. If you are receiving this message, please respond."

The system loops the message and constantly monitors for responses. There may be pockets of survivors out there, and if so then she definitely wants to know about them.

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]

There's the obligatory popping noise and flash of bright light, and a. . . blue police telephone box materialises on the grass in the middle of an over-grow back yard. A few minutes later, a blonde head pokes out, eyes blink once, then twice, and a cut-glass upper-class jolly-hockey-sticks voice says 'blast! Just when I thought I had the bothersome thing fixed."

She disappears back into the TARDIS (because really, what else takes the form of a blue police box if it doesn't have to) and sounds of button mashing, dial-twiddling, console kicking and muffled swearing can be heard. Something is definitely not quite right. But she's reading signs of another TARDIS on this world, and perhaps whoever owns it has some spare parts. (Also, she wonders who it is. It could be herself, of course. That's always bizarre.)

Her TARDIS disappears, and re-appears moments later - alongside another TARDIS which is also disguised as a police telephone box. As far as the Doctor knows, only her TARDIS has that particular malfunction in it's chameleon cloaking. So, she shrugs, and knocks on the door, and waits for herself to answer it.
