[Voice/Failed private call to Ianto and Jack.-Backdated to yersterday]

[clockmaster]

Ey, this is Hakuba. Where are you two?

The weevil that was left in autopsy yesterday is just bones now. No flesh, no organs..I don't know how it happened it was a normal corpse 15 minutes ago. As normal as a dead alien's corpse can be anyway.

I think that something come through the Rift, the computers gone crazy and Myfanwy is in hysterics. Remember me who had the great idea of keep a Pteranodon as a pet? Nevermind.

I don't know what is it yet, I just saw a shadow. I'm locking the Hub to be sure it won't get away.

... oh, you're not.

[Voice forever]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Uh..what..Ten?

[Also voice, now! :>]

[timey_wimey]

Yep, that's me, the one and only.

You know, for someone who's so clever, you can be astonishingly thick. Now, listen to me very carefully and answer me, because your life may depend on this; how many shadows do you have?

Voice assumed furevah :D

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

That was supposed to be a private channel but more the merrier when it comes to help.

How many shadows..? One, of course.

Voice~

[timey_wimey]

Your lock failed. Sorry and all that.

Right, good, that's good. Keep an eye on it. Actually, scratch that, keep an eye on all the shadows, every last one of them, and whatever you do stay out of the shadows, you got that? Not a foot, not a finger, not even your own shadow. That thing in the hub, that shadow, isn't a shadow. It's Vashta Nerada.

[51stcentury]

What? What is it, Doctor? Do you know what's going on here?

((Let's say that Jack either can't read the other comment thread, or hasn't noticed it. He wants to hear himself directly what's going on. 8P;;))

[timey_wimey]

Oh, I do. It's Vashta Nerada, Jack. Microscopic piranhas of the air that travel in swarms.

[51stcentury]

Shit. Really? I didn't think those things actually existed.

...Hakuba's tripped the lockdown. That means nothing's getting out of here, including us. ...If you've got any great ideas on how to deal with these things, now's a really good time to be sharing them.

[timey_wimey]

Most people don't, because the people who do run into them usually... well, you know.

Right, yes, dealing with them! What's the lighting like down there? The more lights you've got up and the better lit everywhere is, the better, it makes them easier to spot. More to the point, does this lockdown stop a TARDIS from getting in?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Jack, where are you?

[51stcentury]

Down in the lower level archives. Ianto'd found an artifact that needed further explanation before he could categorize it. And for once, I'm really not making that up, either.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

[A short pause, but a pause.]

I trust you, Jack.

I'm in the upper level with a very angry dinosaur and you know how much I love reptiles.

[ooc: for the record, reptiles are to Hakuba what fishes are to Kaito.He freaks out. :|]

[torchwoodteaboy]

What? Really? Shit. That's...that's really not good.

((Pretend this is posted before the Doctor's comment explaining what it is 8P;;))

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

((ok!))

No is not. I locked the entrance to the hub, they can't get out. Sadly, I can't either.

[torchwoodteaboy]

Looks like all three of us are trapped down in here. Jack and I are down in the archives, just happened to have a free minute to check the computer now. ...the Weevil's really just down to a skeleton now, then? And we're trapped in here with whatever's done it?

Ianto's way to hold a phone always amazed me XD

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Eaten to the bone, yes. Ten say that the cause it's a living shadow, the Vashta Nerada.

The problem is how we get rid of them, there's no way to kill them. Maybe we can lock them somewhere?

He's got skillz xD

[torchwoodteaboy]

...bullocks.

Maybe, yeah. There might be something up in the secure archives in Jack's office to contain it, but we're going to need to get up there to unlock it. Did the Doctor say how we could tell if it was around? I'd like to know when I need to run, if I can.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

Hakuba-san, that's... Please, take care.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I will Kasumi, do not worry I am not alone.

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

I am glad to hear this. Even so: this seems a dangerous endeavor.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

It's quite normal in my lien of job.

[action]

[51stcentury]

Jack runs up from the lower levels of the Hub, Ianto following closely behind him, a flashlight trained on both of their feet on the ground to make sure they've only got one shadow.

"Hakuba!" he calls out. "Hakuba, we made it!"

[action]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Jack, over there!" Hakuba yelled form his position near the computers, gun in hands. Not like it will be of much use but it's a fake sensation of security.

[action]

[torchwoodteaboy]

"Right, okay," Ianto said, "just let me..." He ran over to his little kitchen corner.

"Ianto," Jack said in disbelief, "now is really not the time to be making coffee."

Ianto rolled his eyes, shining his flashlight around to make sure they were safe before crouching in front of the refrigerator and grabbing out the meat that he had waiting for Myfanwy in there. She'd probably forgive him for using it. "We can try and distract it with this!" Ianto called, clutching the package to his chest and hurrying over with Jack to where Hakuba was stationed.

"Any sign of it yet?" Jack asked, putting a hand on Hakuba's shoulder.

Re: [action]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Hakuba rolled his eyes, but quickly looked around again to be sure that no shadow was moving. It was hard because the Hub was not exactly the most illuminated place in earth, even when ALL the lights on. He shook his head and looked worried at Jack.

"Nothing yet but who knows for sure. There's so many places where they can be hiding."
