In [[2022]], three women in their twenties named [[Cleo Proctor]], [[Abby McPhail]], and [[Shawna Thompson]] start recording a new episode of ''[[The Blue Box Files]]'', a podcast analysing the mysterious appearances of a certain [[The Doctor's TARDIS|large blue box]] throughout history and how they connect to supernatural occurrences. Shawna, despite declaring herself as the "voice of reason" compared to Abby, declares this week's podcast topic as "nuts", but Cleo quickly turns the conversation off-topic as the three friends begin to chat about Cleo's job as a theatre usher instead. | In [[2022]], three women in their twenties named [[Cleo Proctor]], [[Abby McPhail]], and [[Shawna Thompson]] start recording a new episode of ''[[The Blue Box Files]]'', a podcast analysing the mysterious appearances of a certain [[The Doctor's TARDIS|large blue box]] throughout history and how they connect to supernatural occurrences.

Abby returns to their topic of the week: how in [[2008]], the blue box was found in [[London]] during [[March of the Adipose|a major incident]] involving the loss of life caused by weight-loss pills made by [[Adipose Industries]]. Cleo states that she has heard about this, listening to a woman called [[Elaine (SOS)|Elaine]] on the [[Powell Estate]] ranting about "[[Adipose|fat babies]]" while drunk, although this was never mentioned in the official records of the event. Abby adds that the blue box was spotted at least five times in the area and no company members were ever seen again, supposedly tied to reports of lights in the sky. Shawna tries to rein her in but is told to look up the [[Blue Cube Forum]], run by other conspiracy theorists, as proof. However, she is disturbed by a horrible static disturbance coming from the website which she attributes to a pop-up or hacking and they decide to stop the recording while they sort it. As Abby decides to contact the website's owner, she decides to send Cleo to meet and interview their next special guest, as she is the only one living in London, despite being by far the least interested of the three. She eventually agrees to meet [[Penny Carter]] from ''[[The Observer]]'' in [[Soho]] the next day with a prepared set of questions. | Abby returns to their topic of the week: how in [[2008]], the blue box was found in [[London]] during [[March of the Adipose|a major incident]] involving the loss of life caused by weight-loss pills made by [[Adipose Industries]].
