Why?

k
do I get anything for it ?

[He wouldn't say no to a sugar cookie. ...Probably.]

Facility? I thought we were in space!

Do you have symptoms?

[ someone is caught WAY off guard, so she doesn't even think to text, just- ]

Sherlock? What are you-

What symptoms?

[ SO CONFUSED. ]

The satisfaction of knowing that you have been marginally less of a waste of my time than you potentially could have been without your participation.

[ Once upon a time, the Sherlocks (those being from the twenty-first century) decided upon an alignment fixture to better assist their fellow passengers in identifying their individual (but similarly signed) texts to the network. And why not? Strange as it may seem, the two men, while virtually identical in look and temperament, could derive two wholly separate sets of enemies and allies.

The first, 001, chose the less-hassled, default left alliance for his texts, while the second, 007, centered his text to seemingly match the belief that his thoughts were the center of importance.

One of the aforementioned men is dead. It was was the man more likely, of the two, to ask scientific questions of the community.

And so it's probably not so surprising that John Watson's knee-jerk reaction to seeing this post, in such a format, is a spike of white hot anger.

Only a few people were genuinely impacted by the death of Sherlock Holmes. Many of those few took it as another omen of Tranquility's undercurrent hostility, and some of those announced it with ridicule toward the dead. Fewer were unseated by the fact that they had actually known and tolerated the man in question, and fewer still knew the hand of the murderer was not some faceless (or digitally emotic) entity, but one who roamed among them on the days of the jump and wore the dual face of fear upon the network.

With that in mind, John's first thought is that someone is playing a very cruel joke, taking the piss at the expense of a man, or his associates, who have scorned them in some manner.

And it's only sighting the number of the poster, while typing a searing (mostly-aggressive, passive-aggressive, as an embittered soldier and senior medical officer is wont to do) response, that makes him pause, consider, and delete. Eleven. The fresh batch. ]

The stasis tanks you arrived in have a sedative that induce many of the aforementioned side-effects. No need for blood tests. Many have been run in the past and we are confident that they are temporary.

Hydrate, sleep, then eat, and you should feel better.

Yes imagine my surprise that our situation has gone unquestioned by the commonwealth. Truly shocking.

are you going to do this ? I like don't really hold to sticking myself with needles

you know

[He could totally cut himself with a sword. But. Needle stabbing. Nope. Beyond his scope!]

What's the commonwealth got to do with this?

A girl's lips turned blue once. Why?

[ It has to be a joke. There's a difference between having the other Sherlock on board still using SH because at least she knows that he is not hers. At one point maybe he was, but circumstances had changed him and made him another Irene Adler's well more accurately another John Watson's but that's neither here nor there, perhaps. But this, oh this looks like hers. An SH to the left rather than in the center and it tilts her world on its side. Making her glare at her communicator before she replies. Oh, if John isn't going to take the initiative here, then she most definitely will. ]

While I'm sure you find it hilarious to use the initials SH, I would advise against it, seeing as the only two people alive on this ship with those initials are not 011s.

[ The SH is incredibly familiar, but Justin knows that there were already two Sherlocks before (before that), and a third with Robert Downey Jr's face from the turn of the century, so he checks the number immediately. 011. New... What kind of fucking joke is this, Tranquility? ]

sorry, you missed the space plague when most of this was rampant.

welcome to space, sherlock.

wichita, check the crew number.

no i know it's not it can't be him [ he died he was dead. people don't come back from that. she thought? ] not the same at least

i was under the assumption that that was taken care of.

[ Sherlock Holmes doesn't know he's dead.

Well, he does - he's just woken up in some bizarre stasis tank after jumping off a building, after all - but certainly not like what's happened here. He's only been able to find out so much before now and most of what he's gathered has involved trying to find any explanation for what he's found beyond the idea that he's on a bloody spaceship. He'll accept whatever is the truth once it's been proven, but that doesn't mean he won't exhaust every other possible explanation until then. Thus, with that on his mind, he's not had the time to look into even stranger concepts such as his previously existing on this ship or his being violently murdered during said stay here. He's still in the dark on many things and none too happy about the matter.

That's why he's reduced to this. Addressing the general and idiot populous for information. Needless to say, his mood is not the best at the moment.

The first thing Sherlock does is roll his eyes at yet another moronic response. The delay is due to his taking a moment to pinch the bridge of his nose in an attempt to ease the onset of a headache. He's not bothered trying to read the tags attached to the texts that label who it's from. What's he care who he's talking to? Idiots are idiots. ]

Yes thank you, were I totally incapable of understanding the basics of recovery from medication-induced comas I would certainly have need of that advice but seeing as I'm not part of your average collection of imbeciles you have just successfully wasted roughly seven precious seconds of my extremely valuable time.

[ A moment passes before a second text is fired off. ]

Any other nuggets of wisdom or is that all you've got to offer?

[ HE'S GETTING TO IT, IRENE, GOD. Though, of the two of you, you're the more... direct and disarming one. Right. He'll just be watching this one. Two tests are better than one? ]

That would normally be a symptom of hypothermia otherwise the girl was quite possibly dead. Anything relevant or will you be wasting more of my time?

There was a sickness. A man is new?

yeah. not the same. [ this is fucking cruel, tranquility, and while justin wants to hope sherlock was magically resurrected, he knows better ] of all the fucking shit to pull, right? if hotspur shows up, want to go punch the captain with me?

[ Ugh fantastic does he have to do all the work around here ]

Yes, if I have no alternative.

you could do a throat culture

you should watch some medical dramas

[Sherlock if you hate your life now even Hong Kong will understand.]

nope. if that happens, you're waiting in line behind kara and i. and i personally don't think between the two of us, you'll get a body to punch.

[ ...a+ there tony. good job sounding violent. in public. ]

i'm okay with enjoying it vicariously through you. make sure you broadcast it for the rest of us.
