[The recording starts with a sharp intake of a breath through his teeth.]

Well, blimey, pop-off for a year and a half and look what happens...

Of course, that's assuming it's been that long--probably hasn't knowing this place. Of course, not that I know this place much to begin with--thought I was starting to make some progress with that, but now, must admit, I'm more confused than ever. But that's not important right now...

[The Doctor's voice goes quiet and serious. He's seen the state of the city in his search for a journal.]

What happened?

[Her voice is shaky at first, but grows more steady]

The city collapsed. I'm not quite certain as to why, but I think some of us here may have been tricked into it. After that, the citizens of the city banded together and threw us out.

[A pause. Then, in a bitter tone]

I suppose anything can happen when one puts one's mind to something.

[shout_geronimo]

[sounding slightly out of breath] Oi! Where've you been? No, wait, year and a half. Donna?

Right, then. Long story short, this place has been torn down. A bit. I dunno, can you tell? The mayor and his lot aren't too happy with us, so we've been uprooted out of the city.

[a wry sort of chuckle] Looks like we're getting closer to figuring all this out.

[oi_earthgirl]

[Have fun Doctor. She's not the happiest with you right now.]

You haven't been gone for that long, you know. Just a few weeks, long enough for, oh, the ENTIRE CITY TO COLLAPSE AROUND US.

[A short pause then...]

A year and a half? What's... the last thing you remember now?

[Voice]

[nonomoribird]

I do not know. The city has gone. Everyone is angry.

[voice]

[halvedhowl]

You seemed to have gotten the run-down.

[small sigh]

Welcome back?
