We've been going about it the wrong way, Rose. It's not a code, it's a language. The static and the numbers are two being speaking to each other!
Translating it through the TARDIS hasn't been easy. The language is old. Impossibly old.

Using the UNIT address are we? Fancy.
So if it's a language then we've got to figure that they probably aren't too keen on me tapping into their phone calls yeah? I mean, that's what this could be right? Like some giant intergalactic phone line of monumental proportions?
Who would be using that to talk to someone anyway unless there's others here that know about the void and the rift and the two... nah that's just got to be coincidence for sure.
So waiting for the TARDIS to translate then I guess. I mean there's not something I should be doing right? Not packing up yet I suppose?
Did you do anything fun for Halloween? Out here they carved Radishes. Seemed a bit odd, but figured it'd be up your way maybe. I ended up in the middle of the town flagging down cars trying to find a ghost. Like... the ghost of halloween past. I'd bet you had something more fun. Like the first Halloween ever or maybe even Sleepy Hollow!

Well, I figure if I'm sending you something via your work e-mail I should send you something from mine. That, and I hate the adverts on yahoo.
Perhaps not, but speaking through the Void could mean several things. None of which are very good for either of our dimensions. If creatures hid in the Void as the Daleks did, they may be trying to break out, which is very bad for both of us.
Yes, and for some reason the TARDIS is taking a ridiculously long time at it.
Radishes? Really? Do they make radish pie with the leftovers? As for me...oh, you know. Diffused a bomb, evacuated a building and at some point I tried this drink called a White Speedball, it's white chocolate and espresso and terribly decadent. The woman who recommended it told me it was ridiculously high in calories, though. Very good.

Yeah we don't have that much since the SPAM ordinance passed. I barely get a single post to the email these days without all the ads that'd be flooding in.
I swear if it's Daleks I owe Mickey ten quid. Still ridiculously long is at least better than not yeah?
Yeah Radishes. I mean back in the day they carved turnips, even over on the other side that's how it all started. Course pumpkins are easier to carve than a turnip, but I still don't get the radish. Probably cause pumpkins can't seem to grow. Least that I have found.
Look at you out drinking it up. Fancy yourself a banana daiquiri in the middle of saving the world?

Don't curse us yet, Rose. Could be a Void-Hopper or Howling Child for all we know. Not necessarily a Dalek.
You don't have pumpkins? So...no pumpkin pie? No salted pumpkin seeds? No pumpkin spiced latte? That's positively tragic!
Oi, now. Daiquiris are for after the world is saved. Espresso is for during. I never drink on the job!

Oh I'm not cursing us not by a long shot. Mickey could't help but mention that knowing my luck it was them. I him that was well bad and shouldn't be even a thought in his head. He bet me and to shut him up I agreed. It's just ten quid, and I'm right sure I'll win.
Oh see I saw Speedball in there and thought maybe they slipped you a bit of Baileys unawares. And I do recall you having a bit of fun while Mickey and I were getting scavenged for parts.
Just saying.

Doctor I'm at still at work, but really I should've gone home. Hence the using my personal email instead of the work one. I mean Jake won't mind long as I don't fall asleep in transport tomorrow. I swear you drift off once during a briefing about some fire arm of some sort discharging and they'd make it seem like the end of the world, which at the time was only half true.
So don't keep me in suspense here, I'm staying up to find out the thrilling conclusion. It's better than Mum's stories.

Eternals.
They're an ancient race, older than the Time Lords. They exist out of time, in Eternity. Powerful, possibly corrupt, they sit outside of existence and watch rather than experience. That's why they play games, they try to earn Enlightenment, earn the ability to amuse themselves and feel what those who actually live feel.
They disappeared right before the War. Many thought they simply ceased to be, rather than having to face what they knew was coming. Rose, if I'm right, that means they hid within the Void the entire War.
They...I don't know what to do. I don't have the equipment necessary to transmit a signal back to them. To tell them what they're breaking through, to. Do you have anything over there that can? I can send you the code you need and why are you still at Torchwood isn't it late there?

I'm here at work because I wasn't about to leave with that email on the way. I mean the only reason I'm pretty sure I can even hook up into this thing is because of all this fancy stuff running through this place. I mean my laptop probably won't hook in back at the flat.
So right, something to broadcast into the void. I mean I'm pushing past it now like using it as a gateway of some sort so I need to get something more like shortwave or a shorter band something...
I could put a delay on the signal! Like in short bursts that way while the first is being sent out the others will pile up behind them and eventually they'll just get stuck in there! It's what happened when I started testing it. They started to bounce back to me after a week, but they were just echoing in the void for a while messing up all my data!
Alright, so I'll start sending the code on a repeating loop with a delay set for the broadcast. So that the first one takes a lot longer to get across.
So what is the code I need?
Also you expect me to sleep now? I mean this is like... well it's kinda exciting and dangerous all the same time... kinda like the old days.

That is brilliant. Well, it's fairly brilliant, at least. I can't see why it won't work!
Sending you an attachment. It's translated and re-translated, so it probably has a bit of a BabelFish feel to it, but I can't see why it won't at least somewhat work. It's a warning to what they're coming out to, and an announcement as to whom is talking to them. I said "The Doctor and Rose Tyler", because...well, we are, aren't we? S'not just me.
I hope you don't head to bed just yet. I might combust from suspense.
I've missed this.

I try to be brilliant now and again. So I'm opened the file and in like a few minutes it'll start running the sequence. I set it for about a set of 47 attempts, so it'll just stack up pretty quick. They'll get mighty sick of hearing the message. I figure once it starts to bounce back to me since I mean... forty seven is a well good of an attempt at this.
So the loop is running now, and I'll be up for a bit still. Already running the feedback into the stream just in case the code stops or changes or something. I mean who knows what they'll do right?
It's good yeah? Something about words and signals going across this much time that always does it to me. Kinda like that first phone call back home from the end of Earth.

The translation module on the TARDIS is fully operational. Once something comes through, I'll be able to translate it immediately. In theory.

Well I just looked over my last email I sent and I'll be honest I can't understand most of what I even wrote up there myself. So brilliance must be maddening me a bit.
Chris Crocker? You mean Prime Minister Crocker? I mean... he's a bit charismatic maybe a tad too opinionated for me but quite a nice fellow over here. Who's he over there? And you're welcome to come to my neck of the woods you know. Anti-spam ordinance, PM Crocker... Jackie Tyler waiting with a little one to give you an earful... it'd be loads of fun.
Alright I give already, cause I don't even know who that Crocker bloke is, but I thought it'd be a good laugh to pull one over you, but this stream just picked up something so I'm pretty sure that my signals started to back up. It should be in the echo of the original signal now. So when it changes we'll hear it for sure. Cause now it sounds like a heap of a mess.

Alright so the feed stopped the loop and it's some garbled noise. Kinda sounds like when you tilt the pinball machine and the flipper gets stuck. I mean it's awful. I've gotten a few minutes of it and it's repeating so I figure it's something.

So I'm sending it out, and I'm not even gonna send this yet. Cause I mean I'm just gonna have to wait to loop it back and get whatever the response is.
So while I wait I'm gonna play Diner Dash on my new cell.
Alright so it's looping back to me and now I'm gonna go check one of the freezers. I think someone brought in some chocolate.
So negative on the chocolate, but there is a brand new sound coming through this void, and you Doctor better give me some answers this time.

Be like what? Sorry I just would've liked a bit more information on just what the hell I'm transmitting through the void that nearly sucked me up, put all the Daleks and Cybermen together and took me away from you. I mean that's all.
Yeah, I sit here for hours pressing buttons on my cell. Select the customer. Seat the customer. Take their order. Take then their food. Grab the dishes. Clean up and start again. It's kinda fun, kills time too.
You know like when you're staying up late thinking you'll get another important email right away, but then nothing comes til the next night.
Made a girl feel like she was in school again waiting by the phone for the bloke from the yards to give her a ring up.
So those are looping in now, though not sure how the .pdf is gonna run. We'll see. I'm gonna look for something to eat. Dorris was supposed to go shopping for stuff but I think she was stuck cleaning up some big spill. I wasn't here when it happened, I overslept.
Right so there is only this pineapple that's the size of an apple. Fruit here is so randomly wrong.
I was about to think to myself what if they don't shift the signal but there it goes. You gotta wonder what all this traffic in there stacking up is doing to the void. I mean, it's a lot of information in there now.
