Since evidently Moriarty has chosen to resume his profession, I give the police force on this island two days before they are completely out of their depth and he is running the place. When that happens, you'll need me.

As my original website is locked I have rebuilt it on the island servers. You can find it here: www. thescienceofdeduction.co.nm Contact either myself or Dr John Watson at North 301.


[ note: the new moore version of Sherlock's website is basically exactly the same as the real one, only the forum is empty and the Hidden Messages folder has been replaced with one titled "New Moore". it contains a neatly bulleted list of his deductions on, obviously, New Moore, though no definite conclusion or even a theory has been proposed. ]

Right, well. Business was not really my intended profession, but the space was there, and they allowed me to take out a business loan.

I suppose this is my 'Grand Opening' announcement. New Brew is now open.

Who: Ianto and Anyone
What: Unsatisfied with the offerings in New Moore, Ianto has opened his own coffeeshop. New Brew, the new front to Torchwood New Moore coffee and tea shop, is now open for business
When: Thursday the 8th and Onward at irregular, unposted hours
Where: New Brew Coffee and Tea Shop in the Shipping District
Warnings: Will be updated as needed.

The coffee shop was nothing spectacular from the outside. A little building on the front of a warehouse that might once have been the shipping office. There was a counter with the usual suspects to be found in the good sort of coffee shops. No automated coffee dispensing machines. Just an expresso/steamer, bean pressers and brewers, the sort you might find in the art deco style of coffee shop. Coffee mugs and tea cups lined a bookcase to the back, everything neatly organized and in it's place. At any time, you could find a young Welshman in a suit, suit jack absent, but waist coat present, a stopwatch in his pocket and a book or pamphlet in his hands.

The service was friendly, but never particularly fast. But the coffee. The coffee was some of the finest roasted coffee to ever touch your taste buds. It was rich, full and flavorful, perfectly roasted and made to order.

The shop itself was small. Three tables were set up with two chairs a piece inside the doors. Comfortable chairs, but practical and light. The tables were bolted to the floor to discourage people from pulling them together, and round to make it an impractical endeavor. It was clear the owner did not expect or plan for high volume business. In fact, it would almost seem like he was discouraging it.

Whatever the case, the coffee and tea served there was damn fine, high quality stuff.

My class sizes have gone down considerably in size this past month. It is always a bit disheartening, but I suppose we can hope that those who have left New Moore have gone on to live their lives, whether it be back where they came from, or into the real world they seem to be trying to prepare us for, here.

With the erratic schedules we are often forced to keep here, I have updated the class pages with the daily lecture and a discussion board. Please utilize these fully, they are tools for your benefit. As always, my office is available if a particular subject is giving you trouble, or you wish to carry our discussions further.

[Rodney is making this post in text, because it of course does not convey the sarcasm that would likely come out in his voice, no matter how hard he tried not to show it.]

Esteemed students of New Moore, I am now going to be teaching physics at the high school. Might as well make the best of being trapped here, right?

I look forward to meeting all of you. It will be a learning experience for both of us, I'm sure.
