I’ve made a fascinating discovery about your Red Dust.

[ For a moment that seems to the end of it but added as, what seems to be an after thought- ]

Oh, and it looks like I've managed to figure out how to stabilise it before you. Tough break that.

If you're feeling the need to try and extract the information from me, I invite you to try.

You know where I'll be.

Perhaps. Is that what your fellow Foreigners have been telling you?

I don't need outside validation to tell me what I already know.

[ He just really likes the outside validation. ]

So not exactly their reaction to your stunning breakthrough, then.

What do you think of my creation?

[ Well, he does have a lot of people telling him he's an idiot right now, so there's that. ]

Do you want my honest opinion or what you want to hear?

Honestly, I think it's nothing more than a parasite and I will spend my time trying to eradicate from this world.

I always want honesty, Mr Holmes.

But since we are being genuine with each other, I think you care more about how you spend your time than this world.

I never claimed to be a hero.

Unfortunately for you, this is case caught my interest.

You did not have to claim it. It was rather obvious from the first time we spoke.

Not so unfortunate.

No, I just like to solve puzzles as an alternative to getting high.

Our usual narcotics not up to your standard? You should have said something earlier, I would have made you something personalized.

[of_deduction]

No need. I have a case.

Getting high is more for in between cases.

Re: text;

[ironshade]

In that case, I will make certain this case of yours continues to grow. As a peer, it should be my responsibility to provide you opportunities to demonstrate your success.

[of_deduction]

Yeah, someone tried that before you. It didn't end well for them.

Re: text;

[ironshade]

We are both allowed to be confident in our abilities, Mr Holmes.

text;

[of_deduction]

True enough.

But I do have information you want and I did take the liberty of burning all my notes so, good luck with that.

Re: text;

[ironshade]

Why in all the planes would we need notes, Mr Holmes? All I will need is to see your resolution in action, and that will be sufficient to reverse engineer my missing components.

I most sincerely appreciate your contribution to our cause. Please look forward to a live exhibit in the near future.

Daseng

[of_deduction]

[ Well, this has been very telling. And Daseng is probably not going to like it much when he discovers Sherlock hasn't actually stabilized the red mist just yet. ]

[ He was very careful with his wording. All he said was that he'd figured it out. So, he's expecting him to be back in touch. ]

[ In the mean time though, he needs to text Valdis. ]
