[this starts off as text because there is a keyboard and Harry knows how to type.]

Right, I've read the pamphlets near that blasted machine, but can someone please explain to me why I was chosen? I'm hardly a hero, you'll want someone more along the Doctor's lines th

[the text switches off, as Harry accidentally manages to nudge it to video. you get a close-up of Harry, looking down at they keyboard and typing in a decidedly hunt-and-peck manner before he notices that the camera is on.]

Oh! Why hello there...I didn't know they made cameras this small. [a pause while he stares at the camera-then smiles slightly.] Anyway chaps, my name's Harry Sullivan, formerly of the Royal Navy now working with UNIT. I don't suppose any of you have seen a man called Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart around here, have you?

If there is, I certainly haven't met them.

They are not incredibly sociable by their own choosing, so it is possible.

I imagine running an intergalactic task force would keep them terribly busy!

I am certain it does - but their reclusive behavior is more of a choice than a necessity.

[ Very obviously not stating it like it's a problem - Soranik has very little problems with the Guardians. Or at least she's managed to convince herself that she doesn't. ]
