I think you’re right about this. Who is this Mr. Marlow, and does he know what he’s talking about. I wanted to say, my dear sir, if you can’t get to the kernel then what IS the point.

…if anyone can enlighten us as to how we all wound up in the middle of this….wasteland…it would be your friend Dr. Holmes.

My dear, a ship is no place for a lady!

Why hello everyone. I am not too sure about whether or not I should be speaking much about these subjects. I tend to mind my manners and keep to my family. If it involves baking cookies or doing laundry you can count me in. Where in the world is Marlow’s mother?!?! Who let him go… View More

Hello all, Dr. John Watson here, you can just call me Watson. I’ve followed my good friend Holmes straight into this wasteland and it seems there are quite a few unfamiliar faces here.
