Hey, community. This is important, so listen up.

I know a lot of you were friends with the Doctor. Well, I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, his death might not have been so permanent, and for once the community might have worked in our favour. He's in the code. He's data right now, saved onto the community, and believe me I know how crazy that sounds. It means, though, that we can get him out again, like printing off a new file. We just have to go to a planet on his world called the Library. There's a computer system there that can do it.

Then there's the bad news. The Library's infested by something called the Vashta Nerada, and by the sounds of it they're pretty deadly. Carnivorous, fast, live in the shadows, and we'd have to get past them all the way into the core of the Library. Talk about a dangerous mission, right?

Anyway, that brings me to the point of this post. I'm looking for volunteers; people to bring bright lights and keep the shadows at bay, people to distract them somehow, and people to help connect the community to the computer system of the library. It's a big risk, and I won't lie - for anyone who goes, there'll be a real danger that you'll get hurt or worse. These things don't sound like they play nice. But I know I'm not the only one who wants to see the Doctor alive again, and I know we've got some powerful people on this place, even if conventional weapons won't work against the Vashta Nerada.

And if you can't come, you can still help. Suggestions for how you distract deadly carnivorous shadows, anyone?

Fish always works when I wanna distract my deadly carnivorous demon boyfriend!

[lockon2urheart]

Nena, be serious. That's not relev

...That might actually work. Distracting them with meat, so they don't go for us. I'd worry about drawing attention to ourselves, but somehow I think they'll notice us anyway.

[netdiver-ed.livejournal.com]

edward can help save doctorman from computer! :D

[lockon2urheart]

...Are you sure? This is seriously dangerous, you know, you could get really hurt.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

With meat, the Doctor told me as much.

[lockon2urheart]

Meat. Got it.

...So you really did speak to the Doctor? He's definitely in there?

((running with the theory that he saw her post but couldn't decode it because feldt had haro or something, but her sending binary messages and getting them back was what gave him the AHA moment and got him calling england /HANDWAVE :B;;;;))

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I'm an excellent fighter, and my firebending could easily count as a light source.

I'll do it.

[lockon2urheart]

I figured you would. I've never heard of firebending, but if the name's anything to go by it'll definitely be useful. Can I potentially get you on board as a worldhopper, too? How powerful is that feather of yours?

[51stcentury]

I'm going to offer up my services in any way I can. The Doctor is...well. A very, very old friend, and I need to try and help here.

And. I can think of a few ways, yeah. I've dealt with the Vashta Nerada before, after all.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

In that case, welcome to the team. Any friend of the Doctor's is more than welcome right now.

Hit me with your ideas, then, but you've dealt with them before? Inside info's a little hard to come by. Can you give me any useful insights?

[philoxidizes]

I'm not sure I can be of any particular help, but I can certainly hold a searchlight.

[lockon2urheart]

Hey, an extra pair of hands'll be useful enough. We're going to want as much light as possible.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

If something's hungry, I feed it, Neil.

[lockon2urheart]

Sort of getting that feel, yeah. I guess I was too stuck on the human-eating part to consider an alternative, but food seems like the best way to go.

[areyoulovers]

I'm certain Mr. Erde won't allow me to come, but I can certainly help in other ways! Papa says a battle's second front is the supply lines!

strikes not there, etc

[lockon2urheart]

Mr Erde's not the only one. He's right, and we're going to need a lot of supply. We need meat, and as much as possible, and we're gonna need it quickly. Can you find a supply for us?

[1/2]

[attorneyatlol]

He's alive...?

[attorneyatlol]

I'll do anything I can to help.

[text]

[reversedpolarity]

I can't leave my ship, but if there's anything I can do from here, I'd be glad to help.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

If you can find a way to send a lot of meat or powerful flashlights along with a world hopper, that would be helpful.

[mybffharo.livejournal.com]

I'm coming. I don't care if I'm helping to pull him out of the servers, hold one of the lights or... feed the shadows, but I'm going to help. I owe him that much.

[lockon2urheart]

I'm not stupid enough to think I could keep you away, don't worry, Feldt. Besides, you're one of the most talented programmers I know, we'll need you.

[flower-of-lions.livejournal.com]

The Doctor's alive? Oh, what a relief. I want to help out any way I can.

[lockon2urheart]

Maybe not quite himself yet, but he's not gone. He'll be alive for real as soon as we can get him out.

Gotcha. You can hold a torch or throw meat, your choice. --Unless - you're from Hogwarts, right?

[infinite-arcana.livejournal.com]

I'll help however I can.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

You can carry a light or feed meat to the shadows if you want to come along. If you don't, gather up as much meat as you can and have it ready as soon as possible.

[protect-them.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a usual Torchwood thing. I'm in.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

Then find as much meat and powerful lights as you can carry. We're going to need it.

[lone-defender.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? [Dead?]

[audio]

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

We were led to believe he died this past Christmas, but as Lockon said, the TARDIS saved him to the community's servers. Any other questions or are you going to offer your help?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Now this is more like it!

You want lights? You want healing power? My world's crawling in monsters and I've fought all of them! [He snaps, creating a flame.] I can bring fire magic, lightning magic and healing potions to the party. How do these shadows move? If they have to stay close to the ground, I can float and make people float!

Also, can I take some of the books?

[lockon2urheart]

You're a regular swiss army knife for this mission, aren't you? We'll definitely be glad to have you along. I'll tell you now, though, time is going to be a factor - we really don't want to spend any more time there than we have to, so I wouldn't get your hopes up about taking home some rare book. You're not really going to have the opportunity to browse.

[littlemissaria.livejournal.com]

I can't say I have much to offer in the way of demon knowledge and I'm not sure I'd be much more than a hindrance if I came, but if there's anything I can do from where I am I'd like to help. This...Doctor is obviously important to a lot of people.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

If you can collect meat or powerful flashlights, we need both. And if you change your mind, we could always use another set of hands to operate the lights or toss the meat to the shadows.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

[Oh yes, Hakuba remembers those Vasta Nerada bitches B|]

I can send you the robots I created? The Vasta Nerada might end destroyong them, but they wont' feel pain and I have a backup of their A.Is

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if the Vashta Nerada would eat metal. [...which in her case would be very helpful] Will they obey orders if we give them any?

[chaos-godess.livejournal.com]

I'm coming.

[She doesn't say 'to help', but she will come.]

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

If you're coming, bring lights, meat or both.

And no he's not kidding. :'D

[ttlynotcable.livejournal.com]

Count me in, I can practically be a human nightlight if need be.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

Good. Bring some meat too.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...My God. How is that even...

I can't offer any preternatural aid, but what I can do for him, I will.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

Then you can carry meat or lights, your pick. If you can bring either one, find what you can as fast as you can.

[grey_grief]

I can carry lights and meat. Could probably handle a flame thrower if you end up using those as well.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

You can decide which when you get there out of whatever supplies we have.
