For Abed

[highfunctioning]

The reappearance of Amy Pond had made Sherlock question everything he'd thought he knew about the Sphere incident. He re-interviewed many of his fellow passengers, ran blood tests on anyone who would submit to them [extracting more than a pint from Amy herself before John stepped in for 'medical reasons'], and today he was re-examining the hub, where the Sphere itself had first appeared.

He was crouched low, checking the floor panels for any sign of erosion or change, and heard a familiar voice narrating his actions from the walkway above him.

"Hello, Abed." He called without looking up. Far from an irritation, Abed's presence was fortuitous, as he'd been on Sherlock's list of interviews, and he wouldn't be put off if Sherlock continued with what he was doing as they talked.

Abed doesn't even think he's giving Sherlock a hard look. He's just watching him over the camera/communicator, that's all. He doesn't even really realize how long they're doing it for, because it doesn't strike him as strange at all, and he's happy to get the footage.

But then Sherlock speaks up, and Abed considers for a half second. Everybody has a minute on the station. "Give me one," he answers, and stops the recording to get moving. Give him one to get down the one floor to meet Sherlock in the Porta Ianulis, turning the recording back on when he gets to the hub.
