InsaneJournal

The Doctor had been working on that stupid antenna, the booster, the amplifier, whatever clever name that he'd come up with, but had since forgotten. The idea for the sonic carrier had been scraped as he couldn't find half the parts he needed. That notice in the journal that the modulator was done had given him pause. He'd need to go find Ten and take a good look at that thing. He'd want to be there for the testing. But that had been set aside as his work had continued. That was.. until he noticed the bugs. They started appearing around ten that morning, and it was two now. He'd been wandering around the town since ten, trying to figure out where they were coming from. And finally, as he was passing by the pharmacy, he'd noticed a little swarm trickling out of the drain.

The little swarm, of course, had soon turned into hundreds.. but they were still coming out of that drain pipe. All of them. He'd waited ten minutes for them all to exit and find their way to where ever they were headed.. and then he'd started pulling at that drain pipe, jerking it away from the building as he did. They'd come from there. They had to have come from somewhere. They couldn't just appear from thin air. Nothing just appeared from thin air, everything came from somewhere. Maybe there was a portal of some sort, something that had teleported them there. There'd still be residue. He was tugging the pipe, tearing it away from the wall, and sniffing at the spot there. Nothing. He couldn't smell anything. Where were they coming from? Where was the hole? The gap? The exit.
