The Forest of Arden

Essential services have been disrupted due to an Unexpected Forest.

We'd like to reassure you that the situation will be rectified very soon. Please don't be scared. 

And please don't chop, spray or harm the trees. They're here to help. 

Be less scared. 

Be more trusting. 

Oh, and Annabel Arden - Please Come Home.

DOCTOR: Maebh Arden. Maebh Arden. Which one is Maebh Arden? Which one's Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh? Maebh?

(The Doctor looks at each child in turn whilst saying the name.)

RUBY: Oh, my God. Maebh's gone. Maebh's lost in the forest. Maebh's going to die!

DOCTOR: Argh! 

CLARA: Ruby, that's enough! Doctor?

DOCTOR: We've got to find her!

CLARA: Yes, I know that we have to find her. Doctor, listen to me. Her sister went missing last year. She's on medication. The child is barely functioning. She hears voices. She's very vulnerable. 

DOCTOR: What do the voices say? 

CLARA: I don't know. She takes tablets and they stop. 

DOCTOR: You people. You never learn. If a child is speaking, listen to it.

DANNY: Oh, like you listened to her?

(The Doctor turns on the scanner, and it shows a large solar prominence flaring off.)

DOCTOR: He's right. She was trying to tell me something and I ignored her. Maebh Arden is tuned to a different channel. She can lead us to the source, to the heart of the forest. We have to listen to her. We have to find her. 

CLARA: Not everything can be fixed with a screwdriver. It's not a magic wand. 

DOCTOR: Does she have a phone? 

CLARA: Well, yes, she does. 

DOCTOR: Have you got the number? 

CLARA: Er, yep.

•••••

No, no. Not her medication. We don't want to shut her up. 

We want to know what she knows. 

Maebh, what's the. Maebh, what is this? What is this?

•••••

What is it with you people? 

You hear voices, you want to shut them up. 

The Trees come to save you, you want to chop them down.
