Alright, I think... question club needs to happen.

So consider this post an open place to ask questions about the Barge, and to provide answers if you know them - or to discuss ways of finding out the answer. Anyone's welcome, as are any questions.

[Private to Bertie]

What instrument do you play?


[Private to Sherlock]

Mr Holmes, may I ask if you can make a request for the art room?

At home, we can paint in full colour without seeing them by using numbered codes.

Would it be possible to get these numbered codes put on the paints provided in the art room?

[Filtered to Jane, Chromie and Ariadne]

I was thinking of working out a standard series of questions for people who've just woken up from comas. To help us try and find patterns - it's easier if we ask for the same information from everyone.

Any suggestions as to the questions?

[Private to Jane]

I've got a book for this week. Ovaltine and the radiators tonight?

I can work out the characteristic signs of a coma here as opposed to the other two. I know enough medicine myself.

Perhaps it's also asking who the last person they were with before it happened.

We could ask them too, then! After all, Martha's had a long time to study comas, and she has a fully equipped infirmary.

That's a good idea, too, what with the odd behavior virus scare we had before you arrived.

[He realises it might not be good to admit his real reasons for not wanting to ask them.] I would be interested to hear what they've got to say.

The what? What happened?

[strangehistorian]

There were a number of people acting strangely. It turned out to be a disaffected inmate placing them under some sort of mental control over the course of several weeks. Fortunately, all the damage has been undone.

...How did he manage that?

Syringes and tiny mechanical devices in the bloodstream.

And this can be done with one of the needles they have in the infirmary?

[strangehistorian]

Well, he figured out a way to do it, so clearly it can.

What was the inmate's name? is he still here?

[strangehistorian]

Dr. Rex Lewis. Yes, he is, he just posted the other day. The coma phenomenon predates him, though.

I didn't think he was responsible, just curious.
