"Incoming message Sarah Jane." Mr. Smith said, "From Maria Jackson."
"Bring the message up, Mr. Smith." Sarah Jane said.
"Bringing up message, now." Mr. Smith declared.
"Hurry up, Mr. Smith. I would think someone with your computing skills would be able to open a simple message." K-9 chipped in.
Before Mr. Smith could snap back at the dog Maria Jackson's face filled the screen, "Hi, Sarah Jane." She called down the line, waving.
"Hello Maria, how are things in the USA?" Sarah Jane asked.
"They're great; you remember I've been helping the U.S. Government's UNIT keep aliens secret?" Maria said.
"Yes, I remember, sorry I didn't get a chance to write back to you, we had our hands a bit full with a so-called demon at a theme park at the time." Sarah Jane replied.
"Oh wow, I wish I'd been there." Maria said.
"Oh, come on, you haven't got time for little old Bannerman Road, what with you and your father running around with the US UNIT." Sarah Jane joked.
"With Kyle too." Maria said.
"Who?" Sarah Jane asked.
"Kyle, I told you last time I called, he knows so much about aliens, he's a bit like Clyde, and he works with us." Maria said frowning slightly, "I'm certain I told you about him before, he's my boyfriend."
"Oh yes, you must have." Sarah Jane replied awkwardly, "Anyway, we're all looking forward to you coming over next week."
"We're excited too." Maria said.
"Yep, I can't wait to meet you all." A heavy American accent said out of view.
"Who's that? Is there someone else there?" Sarah Jane asked curiously.
"It's only Kyle, he's coming too, remember?" Maria said smiling dreamily at the boy hidden from the camera.
"Oh yes, anyway, we'll see you then, goodbye Maria." Sarah Jane said.
Maria wasn't paying any attention to the screen now she was staring lovingly at Kyle and managed to say, "Bye." Before switching the camera off.
"There's something not right about this." Sarah Jane thought to herself.
