Lost In Remnants

Where Am I?

Ellie:

"Ahem." I looked to the Monks that had arrived less than subtly as I went through troves of tombs for any instances of her. "I'm sorry to intrude, but the Bells of St John are singing."

Interesting. Neither of us now had anyone who would call us, so who in this universe had the direct TARDIS line? "We will need a horse."

I began packing up, the Doctor doing the same as they considered his portrait. "Is that her?"

"The woman twice dead, and her final message." The Abbot agreed. "They were drawn to this place of peace and solitude that they might divine her meaning. If these siblings truly are mad, then this is their madness."

"We can hear you, you know."

Before the Doctor got onto the horse behind me and we rode through the woods towards where we left her in an underground stone cavern. Which was ringing. It genuinely had the phone ringing. "She is not supposed to be doing this"

The Doctor just opened the door next to the St Johns Ambulance symbol and answered the phone. "Hello?"

My ears instantly focussed on the connection. "Ah, hello. I can't find the internet."

"Sorry?"

"It's gone, the internet." In regards to us, it did not yet exist on this planet. "Can't find it anywhere. Where is it?"

"The internet?"

"Yes, the internet. Why don't I have the internet?"

There was a great deal of confusion within the Doctor. "It's twelve oh seven."

She now also became confused. "I've got half past three. Am I phoning a different time zone."

"Yeah, you really sort of are."

Now became concerned. "Will it show up on the bill?"

"Oh, I dread to think. Listen, where did you get this number?"

"The woman in the shop wrote it down. It's a helpline, isn't it? She said it's the best help line out there. In the universe, she said."

Interesting. "What woman?" He asked, getting the look I was giving him. "Who was she?"

The girl wasn't overly fussed. "I don't know. The woman in the shop. So why isn't there internet? Shouldn't it sort of just be there?"

"Look, listen, we're not actually, it isn't." I sighed and held out my hand for the receiver. "Here's my colleague, internet is her domain."

Well, I could access it with a touch. "Have you actually clicked the Wi-Fi icon?"

"Hang on. Wi-Fi."

This would be why customer service employees deserved knighthoods. "On the start bar, there is a dot with three bars gradually growing out in waves, usually beside the volume control. Click this and you will see a drop down menu with a list of names. Click the one that you recognise."

Luckily she had followed so far. "It's asking me for a password." I was not taking the time it took to find a password you should know. "Sure. What's the password for the internet?" Someone else was clearly now with her. "How am I supposed to remember that?"

"Is it an evil spirit?"

Most spirits were simply neutral, but the evil ones rarely gave you a phone call as a warning. "A woman." The Monk crossed himself. "What exactly do you think I am, you frelling Fekkik? She-They!"

"Hang on." The caller had gained the access key for the Wi-Fi. "Run you clever two, and remember. One, two-"

No. The universe was rarely so kind as to simply give us the key to answers on a silver platter. "What did you say?!"
