[ Hooray for... quiet and controlled network announcement-making. It is the way of the future. John clears his throat and gets this business nipped in the bud. ]

Looks like Sherlock Holmes has left the Tranquility. That's zero-zero-seven, one-zero-two, not the other... two of them. Not that I'm aware of, at least. If there are more running around that I've not heard from yet, now's a good opportunity to speak up.

[ And a very brief pause. ] I'm sure he'd have left behind a legacy of unflattering deductions about everyone if he'd had the time. Might be just as well that he never got around to it.

That's all, thanks.

[ Congratulations, John. You're the lucky man who Moran is going to test out Moriarty's tips for being truly anon on. ]

Not in the swimming pool, is he?

Gone, right? Not like 'shot myself in the head'?

[Alex. Always compassionate.]

[ Looks like we've got an anonybro over here. ]

Cute. If you'd like to run through and have a look for yourself, you're free to check.

[ He's trying very hard not to type like himself or use the word 'chum' too okay ]

More your area than mine, isn't it?

Right, gone. Lucky for us on that point.

Never talked to him.

Sorry you lost him.

[Alex knows what it feels like, at least.]

[ Not the first person Holmes has seen lost. Certainly won't be his last. But with the 001 John's recent disappearance and consequential reappearance, he can't not cover all of the bases he can manage. ]

You're sure of it.

[ Which is really more of a question than a statement when it gets down to it. ]

[ Moriarty must be so proud. ]

You wouldn't be the first person to think it.

Thank you. And all things considered, not talking to him does wonders for remembering him fondly.

I'm no consulting detective, but I've got enough experience with these things to be sure, yes.

[ He's trying not to lend deep thought to whether this means Sherlock wound up back on Atia or 'back' to his current status in London.

Or something shiny, new, and probably generally worse. Which one would be best? ]

[ Oh. So now they're in the same boat, are they? Losing one of many that's still the one they knew best. Sherlock considers this for a spell. ]

I've still not managed a complete map of this damned ship.
SH

[ No, probably not. He's probably reading this waiting for a 'chum' slip-up. ]

For good reason, I'm sure.

Have you checked the swimming pool, then?

[ Sympathy levels: zero. Niall doesn't do sympathy, doesn't understand the point of coddling people. It's useless. Everyone leaves eventually and dies, they're all dying right now -- just at different speeds.

Niall doesn't believe people leave, he suspects they're taken or killed.

That would hardly be a wise thing to start a conversation with, though. Besides, he has something else to talk about. Diversions are usually helpful, he thinks, perhaps this will be. ]

John Watson. You work in medical, correct? Your identification implies you are not the earliest incarnation aboard this vessel.

...well that sucks. ...uh, not in a swimming pool right?

Classified.

I'm sure some one else will be happy to fish him out for you.

[ chum ]

Sometimes think people would say that about me.

That much of an ass, hmm?

That's because it's the size of a small country and turns out casualties at the drop of a hat.

[ Diversions are always helpful, Niall. ]

That's right. The only other John Watson I know of was one of the first people aboard. I came in with the 007s.

Definitely not in a swimming pool. [ He can't blame anybody for going to that question first. ] Small mercies.

Semantics. I can still say beyond a shadow of a doubt that
I have managed far more than any other member of this ship
barring perhaps my counterparts. More than you, assuredly.
SH

Yes, you're a genius and you've got a proper sense of direction. I'm glad you've been managing. [ Tiny pause. Pausing is good sometimes when in dealings with Sherlocks. ]

If that's how you're occupying yourself these days, try to be careful. No one worth mentioning would be better off with you lost.

Being in space has put too much time on your hands if you've got nothing better than this to do, mate.

[ you are the chum bucket to moriarty's krusty krab or something like that bro ]

While blatant statements of the obvious are unnecessary
the sentiment is noted.
SH

[ And then, shortly after- ]

If you're so torn up over the idea I suppose I'll put up
with having you along with me. The supply of available
skulls here is remarkably limited.
SH

[ Comfort and reassurance is really not his area — but at least he's trying. ]

I'm qualified as a medical professional to confirm it as one of his many talents.

Wouldn't say you're doing a bad job of things so far, though, really.
