[The voice is similar to Carter's, but older, rougher, and even more East Ender. That he's switched the communicator on at all is blind luck.]
—got an investigation to get back to! Who's in charge here, I'd like to know?
[Say hello to Carter's flood replacement, Inspector Fred Abberline. He was the fellow who headed up the Jack the Ripper investigation back in the day (and was played by Michael Caine in a 1988 TV movie). He's taken from shortly before Mary Jeanette Kelly's murder, in early November 1888.]

Oh, there's no need to be so stiff, Investigator, like I told you, Sally works just fine; I work with a bunch of overgrown boys for a living, I promise not to tell anyone if you relax your manners just a little.

I'm a crime-fighter. A "costumed adventurer," I think is how one of my friends puts it. We all have different names we use when we're on-duty, and that's mine.
[Please, she doesn't do that anymore.]

[...And the helping too. It's not all about the fame and popularity. Really. ...Only mostly.]

...I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but here I was thinking most people thought it was a boy's game! Two of us are girls, the rest are all men.
