TEXT | SHERLOCK | CASE OO1

[consulting]

BORED!
Give me work. Give me problems.
My mind rebels against this stagnation.
Give me a puzzle. Or mystery.
Either will do.
Just. Give. Me. Something. To. Solve. Tranquility.
I need the mental stimulation before I result
to drinking the liquid from the grav pouches.

SH.

[ you can practically hear her smiling. Super-smart-girl powers, go! ]

Deduction. There are two very, very smart people on the ship. One of them is you, one of them wrote the original post. You could have been someone else, but when you started typing your vernacular gave it away. You use bigger words than anyone here, sir.

[ the text feed closes off a moment later. it's far more comfortable to discuss things this way regardless. ]

It is unnecessary to address me as such. I am Spock. You are not required to present me with a title.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Oh--it's, erm.... Habit.

...So, 3-D chess really exists?

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

Understood. Should it cause you discomfort, I request that you address me in a means that is most natural to you. [ ugh what is he saying, no put those weird feelings away. MOVING ON. ]

It does indeed. Three dimensional chess is a particularly stimulating activity in my own continuum. It is my intention construct a board and pieces at my next available opportunity. May I contact you when it is complete?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

YES! Yes, please!

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

What is your identification number?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

113.

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

Affirmative.

[ there is however, a minute pause that comes at the end of his reply. the place where he should consider politely ending the feed, but he doesn't.

the desire for confirmation is- an undeniable tension in the back of his mind. ]

May I make another query?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Umm.. go ahead. [ Now she's curious. ]

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

Have you intercepted and decoded the encrypted files that have been exchanged?

[ not a single note of accusation. instead, it's pure curiosity. ]

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

No, but... [ She thinks for a moement, hmmm-ing silghtly. I might be able to, if I put my mind to it.

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

But it is unnecessary for you to do so to understand the tentative theory that has been reached.

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

Which theory? I have many personal ones. The overarching ones?

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

[ there is a momentary pause before- ]

Allow me to rephrase.
I believe that you understand how we came to arrive here. Is that correct?

[ voice ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I... I have theories, like I said. None of them that would be proven correct as of now.

But if you give me a few days, I'll probably solve this big mystery.

[ voice ]

[of-two.livejournal.com]

I do not doubt it.

Should you desire it, I would not be averse to continued conversation between our persons. You [ are special ] offer a most unique perspective.

-And your company is not unwelcome.
