I've been here long enough to know that alternate and parallel universes exist. I can say with confidence that this ship holds multiple versions of the same person; for instance, there are three Sherlock Holmeses and three John Watsons. Naturally, each correspond with their own Sherlocks and/or their own John. As the months go on, it will be increasingly difficult to tell between myself and others, which is why it's handy to have our communicators. With each message, your unique number shows up underneath the initial post: this is a good way to ensure that you're talking to the 'corrrect' Sherlock (though know that we share our devices when the whim strikes us).

In short, stop being stupid.

Now, onto my initial reason for addressing the network: I have experienced several different memories that differ from my dopplegangers. Because of this, we can assume that there are subtle differences in behaviour, reactions and interests. Whilst we remain the same in many ways, those differences might end up defining us (which is frankly appalling, but then who am I to judge a 'thriving' civilisation of six months?). I am the third Sherlock Holmes to arrive, though my likeness is shared with only one. An intriguing phenomenon, but our memories are reasonably inconsistent.

I've decided to tell you about my stay on the island of Atia, though I intend to make it quick. I have in my posession the communicators we used to talk to one another. Whilst the connection to the network has been severed, a few things still remain, such as the guides thrown out to every new comer in order to save both time and effort. You may have gathered that this island is of a seedy virtue, and your impressions are entirely correct: we were forced into collars like animals, prodded and poked into actions one might not normally take were they under their usual inhibitions. As the strange little rabbit wearing a dress says, it was not a holiday.

And yes, I'm aware that both guides are incredibly hideous.

P.S: A certain prosecutor has insisted that I put up a warning for those that are of a certain age and/or for those that have a weak stomach. Personally, I think 'don't be stupid' covered every base, but apparently one can't be too sure.

Trifle.

We need to set an identifier. It'll be easier for when I chart
your physiologic differences with the others.

Most helpful will be the serial number on my bloody arm. I also have no problem with nametags while you're getting the hang of it.

[ WHAT WHAT he will physiologic the hell out of you. ]

[consulting]

[ He's going to make little charts for all three of you, how is that a BIG DEAL. ]

You're a military man, of course you don't have a problem
with name tags.

[ Oh right, totally acceptable, carry on. He'll be glad he hasn't got leftovers from getting possessed then. :| ]

Yes, you're welcome.

[consulting]

[ :| see Sherlock doesn't approve of this possesssionnn okay. ]

We're not getting name tags.

[ John was really excited on his end naturally. ]

I think you could benefit from them.

[consulting]

Because that's something we want. To be categorized like that?
At least Jenna's system of cataloguing us by our bathing habits is
more telling our personalities.

Bit dramatic there, but fine.

I'm not going to be called Sex Island John.

[consulting]

You're John, until it gets confusing.
And then you're Hamish.

Unfortunately we Sherlocks weren't graced with a middle name.

SH

[invalided]

[ P A U S E. ]

You don't have a middle name?

[consulting]

I'll let the other Sherlocks supply the answer to that question.

SH

[invalided]

All right. I'll be sure to supply the question sometime.
