- You may be looking for the transmission itself or A Message from the Doctor.
Message from the Doctor was a short novelisation of the Thirteenth Doctor webcast of the same name, first published in the Adventures in Lockdown anthology.
While the text remains completely unchanged - essentially serving as a direct transcript of the Doctor's dialogue from the webcast - the story ends with a written signature from the Doctor herself, essentially changing the in-universe medium of the Doctor's message from a video message to a written letter.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
The TARDIS detects an upsurge in psychological signals from somewhere in space and time and sends out an emergency transmission. In this transmission, the Thirteenth Doctor is self-isolating, or hiding, from an army of Sontarans. The Doctor then describes what to do in a worrying situation before saying that she'll see the person watching the transmission very soon and ending the message.
