Right. Okay then. I am not sure where to even begin here. I am not into this wifi tattoo/mental link to the network system they have here. It all seems a bit invasive and I'd rather stick to text for now. But I suppose I can scratch 'get a tattoo' off of my bucket list.

Anyway... kidnapped another universe! I wish I could say this I the first time something like this has happened to me. It sounds insane. Which leads me to my next question... does 'The City' ring a bell to anyone?

It's just. It's been a very long time and all this 'Hero' talk can't be a coincidence. Obviously things are different but... yeah. If anyone does recognize that name, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers.

Dead?

[ She actually missed that memo back in the City. ]

No, you both disappeared around the same time. It's been just Molly the whole time.

Mmm? Yeah, he faked his death and went into hiding for two years because Moriarty threatened those close to him. We both got ported in pretty much after it happened.

[ even now, there is still a dark edge to john's tone. he is still angry about being kept in the dark about that. ]

Has she been okay?

It never came up.

[ ... No wonder he ratted her out to Renee. Still, she's displeased with that as it was never his decision to share it. ]

She's fine. Molly's a lot tougher than she looks.

He wouldn't... unless he was showing off. Sherlock might be a genius, but he is remarkably thick. We didn't talk for a while.

[ they spent less time talking back home than in the city. ]

Oh, I know. I've seen her in action. Still.. I can't help but worry.

She'll be in contact with you soon, I imagine.

Yeah, we're talking now.

You should ask Rick if anything of yours was somehow brought over. Some of our things before the City went managed to.

I'll do that. Cheers.

[ a beat ]

I'm pretty sure I remember having a dog. Er, wolf.

I'm not sure about the [ wolfdoge ] wolf. I ran into Rick when we first arrived here and he didn't have it with him.

Case files might not have been recovered either.

That doesn't sound too optimistic. Still, it can't hurt to ask.

[ if baskerville didn't make it, john can only hope the end was quick. ]

Which means all the blogs I wrote up must be gone too.

Likely, unless your laptop was saved somehow.

[ A beat. ]

It's all gone.

Laptop, gun, blogs, wolf.

[ he sighs deeply. ]

I shouldn't really complain. People managed to get out... erm, sort of.

"Sort of".

[ It wasn't a pleasant scene. ]

[ john makes a small, tense noise, like a guttural hum. ]

We can drop the subject, if you like.

It's fine. [ Well, it isn't, but there aren't any words for it. ] All we can do is soldier on.

[ it's all fine except it isn't ]

Spoken like one.

Some things never change.
