[ Chase does not look comfortable. Not spooked, per se, but when the video flickers on the little girl looks tired. Less burdened and more concerned.

This is something she genuinely doesn't know the answer to. ]

Hello, everyone--I regret to be the one to point this out.

[ A beat--she's worryingly playing with the paper bow tie she's made ever since the Doctor disappeared, and with a lick of her lips she's speaking again, eyes darting down to something on her lap. ]

It's funny. This list--it's amused. Laughing at us. I don't--I don't like it. And that's not everyone on the list. It's a fraction of it.

But the laughter. It's ringing in my ears and they're so, so, giddy.

Not doubting it. There's a lot of people who oughta be there that aren't- assuming it's what it looks like. But I need something- a fragged file, a-a shred of evidence that suggests this isn't the whole thing, 'cause if it's not and we all go insane piecing this together for it to be a joke? We'll be playing right into Smiley's plans.

It's definitely not the full list, Topher. Am I not good enough for proof?

[WAY TO MAKE HIM FEEL GUILTY, CHASE.]

Okay. You're probably right- it does make sense that it wouldn't be the whole thing. Unless, you know, Smiley's a jerk and just leaked a fake partial to make us chase our tails. [He pulls a face.] Who else do you think?

I.. I know it's a very, very long one. But not who's on it.

In which case... There's not that many people here. It could just be the manifest and it leaking those names is just a way to scare us.

To make us panic. It makes perfect sense, Topher. You may be right.

I really hope I am... And that if I'm right, everyone's not all dead at that point.
