[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.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

It's alright, it happens offten.

I never heard of the Vash..[Have a loud sound of an angry Pteranodon.]...I think Myfanwy did, she started flying around and trying to get out. What are those things?

[timey_wimey]

They're living shadows. Or well, they're not shadows, they just look like them. That shadow you saw is a swarm of tiny microscopic beings that can strip flesh from bone in seconds, and once they get ahold of you, you're already dead. There's usually not many on Earth, they just live off roadkill, but if that lot you've got came through the Rift, we could have problems depending on where they came from.

[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;;))

[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.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Joy, we always get the most funny things. I wonder when we would get a nice hugging people alien for a change.

I will turn all the lights on and try to keep them inside here. If they manage to get outside they would kill everybody.

How do they reproduce?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

((ok!))

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

[timey_wimey]

Spores inside trees. The spores take hundreds of years to germinate and hatch which is why they can go undetected for so long.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Jack, where are you?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Spores...[he curses under his breath.] Don't tell me that we will need to burn down the hub because of this.

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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. :|]

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.

[51stcentury]

Honestly, Hakuba, would I lie about something like that? Ianto would, but me?

Yeah, yeah, I know. Look, we'll try making our way up there in a second, but first, get yourself somewhere bright, like... Turn on all the lights you can find in the work area and stay put. I don't need to worry about you on top of trying to get Ianto and I both out of this mess, got it?

[heavenly-home.livejournal.com]

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

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

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

Awesome skillz XD

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

He says the we should be aware of the shadows If you have more than one or they're moving..well, run like death is chasing you because that's pretty much what will be happening.
