[ Very blankly stated: ]

The Corps is moving its headquarters to WA-1A until further notice. [ a quiet, sharp inhale. It’s taking a lot of will just to remain calm, to say until I disappear too, more like. ] There are currently three active Lanterns in Keeliai and you can contact us there. We’re holding our usual community activities with the locals as per normal, so, if anyone needs a temporary room, or wants to join in, that’s still available.

Please direct your inquiries about the clinic to Mrs. Bianca Reyes.

[ Brief, but highly irritated, tapping on the desk. ]

And if nobody’s heard from them, I guess we have to add Terrence Ward and Rose Tyler to Mr. Wayne’s list.

[ A long pause, and considerably more resigned: ]

Also... after last week, to anyone whose house is now considerably more colourful... I apologise for the graffiti. If you’d prefer it was removed, I’ll do so.

Your ring can track her.

[ Of course. Why hadn't Donna thought of the magic ring that came from the magic cereal box? ]

Then track her with your ring!

[ She cringes. She does occasionally hear herself. At her volume just now, it's hard not to. ]

Sorry. Just- Please. Track her. Help me make sure she's all right.

[He won't do this in public, or at least, he'll try not to. Steadily, he moves his hand so it's in full view of the screen, and the ring glows. A map of Keeliai appears, with glowing dots marking out the people Kyle keeps track of.]

[Commandingly:] Find Rose Tyler.

[There's a long, terrible pause, before it announces:]

UNABLE TO LOCATE SUBJECT: TYLER, ROSE.

[It repeats the announcement, and the glow fades.]

[ Donna watches, her eyes growing larger as the ring glows and the map appears.

And then it can't find her.

She leans back, looking almost as disappointed as she feels. ]

Right. Something tells me I'd better stick to legging it. Nice trick, though.

[Kyle doesn't even look or seem upset, just immensely tired.]

Let me know if you need a hand, yeah?

[ She straightens and prepares to get ready. What does one take to track down a young blonde woman? Oooh, listen to her. "What does one take." She'll be adopting a flock of corgis next. A herd of corgis? ]

Sure thing.

Hey, you... You let me know if you need more help with something too, all right?

[He actually chuckles.]

Kyle. Not.. "hey you".

[hasthreefingers]

No, I know, I was just-

[ Oh.

Ha, ha.

She grins, even though it's more fond than amused. Kyle's a nice guy, really. He deserves better than whatever's wrong with him. ]

Seriously, though. If you, Kyle, have any trouble, just call me.

[A slightly wider grin.]

I will. Good luck.

[A beat, and then, nervously-]

Clara makes great cookies, y'know. If you need... something to eat. While searching.

[ Hmm. Is that his way of saying he doesn't think she needs to go on a diet? That's... rather sweet of him, really. ]

I'll keep it in mind. Clara's a good sort.

I'll check in on you later, all right? You go... sleep or something.
