Consulting Detective

"I’m sorry, are you talking to me?”

  He doesn't count. "

{Holmes raised his eyebrows in a meaningful way. }

"I know exactly who you are.                                                                                                      But, please correct me if I’m wrong,                                                                                         but we both know I.am.not. “

"Let's die for  something meaningful."

"Possible, but no….- There is more.  Much more. They are above it all. “

"Who exactly is above it all?"

"Exactly … who.                                                                                                                           The question is who.                                                                                                                 This is a terrorist network. But every                                                                                          spiderweb has its spider in the center of it." 

" Technically, you’re a psychopath    with sociopathic tendencies.    But who cares. “

{A fake smile appeared on his lips when the man                                                                lowered the newspaper and his steady gaze met his.}

"You don’t always have to be who they want you to be, you know?"

William Sherlock Scott Holmes

Nothing could exceed his energy when the working fit was upon him; but now and again a reaction would seize him, and for days on end he would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night. On these occasions I have noticed such a dreamy, vacant expression in his eyes, that I might have suspected him of being addicted to the use of some narcotic, had not the temperance and cleanliness of his whole life forbidden such a notion. A Study in Scarlet chpt.2 [x]

"So you’re the cutie everyone is talking about."

"I assume you're not another client.   So. Who. Are. You exactly? "

   “There’s    a scratch in the     woman’s  sclera, you can     see it here.    There’s also     little gouges     around her     eye. Someone was trying     to remove her eye.”

{The man indifferently hid a magnifying glass, raising his eyebrows questioningly.}

"So? Where's the cat?"

“On October 19th, we’re going to observe an event that happens maybe once every million years.” – Dr. Jim Green, director of NASA’s planetary science division NASA is gearing up for the opportunity of a lifetime, one that could yield new information about the conditions that shaped our solar system and the atmosphere on Mars. In just one week, Comet Siding Spring, also known as C/2013 A1, will make its first trip through the inner solar system and pass within 87,000 miles (139,500 kilometers) of the Martian surface—approximately one-third the distance between Earth and the moon.  Siding Spring gets its name from Australia’s Siding Spring Observatory, where astronomer Rob McNaught discovered the comet in 2013. Since Siding Spring comes from the Oort Cloud (and this happens to be the comet’s first “heat-treatment”), it is likely that the comet remains largely unchanged since its formation nearly 4.6 billion years ago. This creates an opportunity for scientists to study the composition and behavior of an object very similar to those that filled the early solar system, which could provide further clues about the conditions that existed when the solar system first formed.  NASA’s Mars orbiters and rovers are preparing to study both the comet and its effect on Mars’ atmosphere. By studying how the comet interacts with the Red Planet’s air, scientists hope to gain a better understanding of the Martian atmosphere, in addition to data about the comet itself.  The image below shows the Mars rovers and orbiters—including the newly arrived MAVEN spacecraft—that NASA is planning to utilize in studying Comet Siding Spring.  Read more: http://www.space.com/27395-mars-comet-flyby-nasa-spacecraft.html http://cometcampaign.org/ Take action: http://www.penny4nasa.org/take-action/
