-'''Neural relays''', sometimes called '''Data Ghosts''', are a freak of human technology in which an imprint of human consciousness can be captured in a communicator for a brief period of time after death. [[The Doctor]] describes it as "footprints on the beach, and the tide is coming in".
+'''Neural relays''', are a device in the 52'st Century. They are designed to let people send "Thought-Mail" by Point-And-Think Technology.
+Sometimes, if someone dies, their conciousness may still leave an imprint in the Neural Relay. Using it's comms device, the [[Data Ghost]] is able, for a short time, to talk to other people, before deteriorating, starting to repeat itself. Mrs Evangalista's data ghost wanted to talk to Donna, but deteriorated to repeat "Ice Cream," Proper Dave's, "Hey, who turned out the lights?" and Other Dave's "We should go, Doctor!" [[Anita]] was killed by the [[Vashta Nerada]], but had no obvious Data Ghost, as the Vashta Nerada had learned to talk through the Neural Relay.
-The messages conveyed in neural relays tend to be simple and relevant to the decedent's last conscious thoughts, and it's possible for them to interact verbally with those around them.
-The length of neural relays can be anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, and towards the end, the decedent tends to repeat themselves over and over before it finally flickers out. The green bars on the communicator seem to be a reliable indicator as to how long the relay will last (i.e. the fewer bars, the shorter time).
