Sound Bytes (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.

Summary
The Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams are in pursuit of a miniature spaceship that is moving down the street at head level. Suddenly it falls to the ground. A quick inspection with the sonic screwdriver confirms that the inhabitants – Virtuals (digital beings from a different dimension) have escaped and uploaded themselves to the internet. Hiding in a music download (‘Alien Infiltration’), the news channels are soon reporting strange behaviour all over London with mostly young people appearing to go into a trance state and take to the streets. Amy is the first to spot the connection that all those affected by the trance are wearing headphones. As those in a trance turn on the Doctor and his friends Rory is thrown the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver and pressing the second button and turning the twisty bit 33 degrees clockwise a bit of sonic feedback is created to buy them some time. Using Amy’s phone to identify the track the Doctor does some jiggery pokery and again using the sonic, manages to delete the Virtuals from the internet server and paste them into Amy’s phone and send them back home. No longer receiving the signals the trance state is broken and all returns to normal.
