Contact.

[ will sounds like he's giving a lecture when he comes on the screen. he's looking directly into the camera — it's easier to make eye contact with a device. ]

That's the key to all this. If you're receiving foreign sensation, you need to track down the person it originated with and make skin-to-skin contact. It'll stop the side-effects, and eventually — hopefully — break the connection. Doesn't have to be more personal than a handshake.

[ a pause, and he glances down, off-camera, visibly discomfited by the fact that the hand not holding his device is in the grip of another. ]

An... extended handshake. Whatever timer this thing is working on, we think letting go resets it.

[ the screen’s upended as sherlock hijacks the device, settling on his face (at an admittedly slightly awkward angle) a moment later. ]

But in the meantime— I’m sure you’ve all noticed that the physical links are current, unlike the memories, and arguably offer us a great deal more control. Passive sensations are the exception, but if I were to hypothetically hit my hand — as our resident neurologist has demonstrated — then Mr. Graham would feel it. [ and by hypothetically he means he's tested it, several times. ]

In the case of mutual sensations, like, say, holding one’s hand, this creates a unique feedback loop; the sensation of their hand in yours, and yours in theirs, et cetera. [ speaking of hand-holding, holding will’s hand is getting in the way of his usual gesturing; the screen's unsteady as a result. ] While I'm reluctant to test the theory with present company — no offense — I imagine this could apply to other neutral or positive sensations. If one were to engage in sexual intimacy with their link partner, for instance, then the moment of—

[ in another blur of abrupt motion, will takes his device back — and also his hand. no offense. ]

Better reset the clock to zero, Mr. Holmes.

Like whatever the fuck is doing this is happy with you.

"Happy" & "doing" imply sentience, implies motives. U believe it's the ship? Someone on it?

rude!

If you think it's going to be something else, you haven't been paying attention.

Been paying attention. Still skeptical of a sentient ship. Anyone had the pleasure of laying eyes on Smiley?

Not saying it's sentient.
Analysis is uncertain.
You listed only options available + "believe".
This isn't a fucking accident.

No.
Still waiting to lay some fucking fists into him.

Apologies, no offense meant.

& not an accident, on that we agree. Easy to apply a template to human motives; possibility of a ship w/motives begs some adjustment. You think this is Smiley's work, or simply eager to work out old grudges?

If smiley isn't behind half the shit we go through, he still knows about it.
Still fucking laughs at us instead of helping.
Helps whenever he wants us running around like rats.
I want his teeth on a chain.

Glad to see the head of SEC is properly invested in the issue. You're positive he's never helped? Obscure clues, perhaps.

[ that you missed is the implication. ]

I said he helps.
When he wants to.
How he wants to.

[She has to think about that one for a minute.]

Uncertain.
Both.

What kind of description do you want?
Already said how it felt.

We both had headaches + bleeding + insomnia again.
All disappeared with physical contact.
Remained normal until few hours later when alien feeling of being praised appeared.
Feeling faded within a minute.

If you want more than that then keep holding hands + find out for yourself.

Try not letting go of him.

Or you can keep stop starting.
See how long you can make it last.
