[Rose looks a bit frantic on the video screen. She's in the city of glass but it's almost impossible to tell where in the city she's at exactly. She's spent all day running about looking for any of the doctors. To say she's in a state of panic, would be putting it mildly. In fact, she's run the gamut of panic-type emotions today. She started out with mild panic that advanced to full blown panic and eventually sobs fueled by panic. She's finally made it to the determination portion of the panic program. She's got her jaw set squarely but her eyes are still wide, cheeks streaks and smeared a bit with mascara from the sobbing stage.]

I don't know what's happened or why we've got so many people missin' but m'goin' to find the Doctors and the rest of my friends.

[She leans a bit closer to the camera.]

Doctors, don't know if you can hear me or not, but m'tryin' to find a way to get you back, where ever you are.

[Several months ago after a particularly brutal curse, the Doctor with the hair soniced Rose's device up a bit so in the desert city, the video is probably static-filled and the audio cuts out a bit but it's likely better than expected.]

[ Here's one of your boys, even if his transmission is staticy and difficult to see. ]

--Here. Sand City. Stay the--. Stay there. [ Yep, he's repeating it in case she couldn't hear it. ] We'll [ a large burst of static ] back.

[She is so incredibly grateful to hear from him as well no matter how the staticy the video is. Her broad grin reflects that. She leans closer to the video, pushing her hair behind one ear.]

Doctor! S'good to see you!

[See how she ignores the stay there edict?]

Have you seen the other two?

[ He shakes his head. She isn't coming through clearly either, but he figures bigger gestures will help. ]

'M helping the other Doctor. The one who isn't me, with the car. We're going to find our way to the Glass City. Promise.

[ He crosses his fingers in front of the camera to reassure. ]

[Give her a second to work that one out. They've got quite enough Doctors and not nearly enough pronouns or descriptors to go around. She points her finger at the video.]

Better make good on that one.

[She'll stay put for the moment but she's going to look into what everyone else is doing.]

[ He puts his hands up. ] Promise. Sure he's looking for you too. Future me.

Yeah. M'sure he is. [She gives him a brave smile but she worries anyway. She'll always worry that he's ditched her or that something has happened to her. It's just the way she is.]

[ He gestures his index fingers in a smile. Cheer up, Rose. ] I'll point him your way if I see him.

[She responds by smiling for him.] 'Least I know you're okay. Keep it that way, yeah?

I'll check in again in a few hours.

[ He doesn't even mind doing it. As long as Rose stays in a safe place, he'll do whatever he thinks will keep her there. ]

Thank you and be safe, Doctor. Please.

[She appreciates it so much. He's a very good boy. Really.]
