A detective and a doctor walk into a bar...

[Sherlock has been reading through the information provided at the kiosk with John, though it hasn’t taken him long to get through it all. Mostly he’s simply lapsed into thought as he is wont to do. After a long moment, he opens his eyes and sighs.] Those were rather useless. What do you make of it?

[It takes John a few moments longer to finish reading through it all, glancing up at Sherlock once he’s finished] We know how to get back home; that’s something. What I’d like to know is where ‘here’ is, exactly.

[He sighs and slips his hands into his pockets.] There is the problem that we’re expected to take this as truth.

[There’s a pause, followed by a soft groan as he shuts his eyes] Please don’t start. I don’t need you questioning my existence.

[Mildly.] I believe at the moment anything is fair game to question.

[He throws him a look] Stop it.

[Sherlock’s lips twitch.] Tell me your theory, John.

[He looks around him for a few moments, then back at the brochures before muttering] Some crazy dream would be my choice.

Then you’re questioning my existence. [He can’t help glancing around.] It’s very nice, though. You have good taste in hallucinations.

[Mildly] Or maybe a drug trip on your part. Wouldn’t that be lovely?

[shrugs] I'm not sure why any of us are here, to be honest. I met a man named Shay once, who said the Machine pulls energy from us, but another man named Weber said he was wrong. Of course everything Weber said was lie, but he also said "a liar has to know the truth or else he can't be lying. I need to be right." So...I suppose you could say it's a mystery we're trying to figure out.

Has anyone actually figured out anything concrete about this place?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

It depends on what you want to know. I'll try to answer any questions you might have as well as I can.

How is it that this place manages to pull people from so many different places?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

That's one of the things I haven't figured out yet. But I do know the Machine is some sort of very advanced technology...even more advanced than ours, and that's quite a feat.

[Unfortunately for Damon, the reference point is lost on John] And how do we know it's not all just some illusion?
