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.

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.
