Here's your 1 pint Jersey Gold!

- @ive-got-adhd

Ah thank you, Peter! I hope you're well?

[To Buttons: the milk was late. Again. I think we might have a milk mystery on our hands...]

[221B Bakers Street theme starts playing]

[inspector-whitstable]

One pint of Jersey Gold!!!

- @ive-got-adhd

Ah, just in time for tea...

[inspector-whitstable]

That is a good system, a very good system indeed. I think we would prefer the Jersey Gold, should Peter happen to visit us again. The address, as I'm sure you know, is 222-B Fishmongers Street.

Hello, I'm Tony one of your local milkmen. Would you like fresh milk delivered every Sunday?

- @milk-from-the-hip (Tony)

Good morning Tony,

Why yes, that would be very nice. How does one sign up for this service?

You good bro?

Am I good. Perhaps you mean 'well'? I am well, I hope you are too.

I like to think that my moral character is 'good' as well.

Now I wonder what a bro is...

[inspector-whitstable]

Sally runs across the street to where she hopes Peter is, and urgently knocks on the front door of the house

[Whit opens the door]

Good afternoon, you must be Sally?

Peter is inside having a glass of milk, would you care for one too?

Dear Titch and Derek,

Many congratulations!

Thank you for the invitation

Flynn, Charlie and I would be delighted to attend the wedding.

But I have to go to 1850 that week-

Nothing doing, Charlie. We're going to 2025.

That is excellent, but you may want to come to 1906 instead- to pick up Peter. 6th July, 1906 at 222-B Fishmongers Street.

Where am I? When am I?

*Peter looks around confused*

- @ive-got-adhd

Don't panic, Peter. I'm Whitstable, do you remember? And this is Buttons- who gave you the locket. You're in Buttons' laboratory and the year is 1906.

[inspector-whitstable]

I'll show you bored. You're going to come and work for me here at the shop for two months. How about that?

Also tell Dione not to send letters. So outdated. Tell her to send me an email instead.

Uncle Charlessss!

Whitstableee!

Thank youuu for saving usss

That wasn’t fun at allllll

Ah yes, and how are y-

[Buttons cuts him off]

Well, what do you have to say for yourselves? Did I not tell you about Locomotion when you were junge? And yet you get on to the train? Why, may I ask? How did you arrive at this brilliant idea?

@caravan-hutch

[inspector-whitstable]

I do believe your friend Sally has offered to give you a ride home, Peter.

[Buttons tries to contact Sally]

[inspector-whitstable]

Now, now. Calm down. Charlie, do we have any milk? Ah yes, in the refrigerator you invented.

[takes out a jug of milk and pours out some for Peter]

Here you go, Peter. Sit down and drink this slowly.

Where am I? When am I?

[ A portal appears in front of Buttons and Whitstable and at the sound of a train's whistle Peter and the Brothers jump out and land in front of them]

[A silver line appears in the sky]

My dear Peter, I hope you have not sustained any injuries?

Are you alright, boy?

[Buttons notices the brothers]

And what are the two of you (@caravan-hutch) doing here?!

Hey, um, somebody told me how to get off the train.

I think we should leave. But leaving involves that locket.

Can I have it? Please.

- @ive-got-adhd

we need to leaveee

right nowww

this isn’t even funnn

[hands peter the locket. its covered in bird seed] nowww whattt

[inspector-whitstable]

Once the clock has stopped time, I will open a portal in front of the locket- leading to me. I can arrange his trip back home once he's here.

Ok, ok, come on, Sally, think. Peter said something about the Whoopsie, I’m surprised they still have that in the 2020s.

Sally isn’t sure of exactly where to find this Whoopsie article but she remembers that libraries often have old newspaper archives. I hope they still do that.

[At the library]

She tries to stay discreet, going to the room labelled as containing newspaper archives and finding the Whoopsie, until she finds it: an article titled The Silver Line in the Sky

The “Silver Line”, that’s where Peter said he was.

She reads the article, then rereads it. It might not be safe to try contact Peter from a public place… someone might think I’m having a seizure or something.

[At the Xavier house]

Out of breath from running back from the library, the newspaper that she definitely didn’t steal clutched in her hand, Sally tries to reach through the astral plane to talk to Peter.

Peter? Peter?

[inspector-whitstable]

Yes indeed, I am glad you were able to find my article.

Now you may have noticed the mention of a natural phenomenon consisting of electrostatic discharges occurring through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions.

Otherwise known as lightning

Precisely. Now you can harness that power to your advantage.

A build up of static electricity and its sudden release can have devastating results as I'm sure you would know. The train is made of metal, a very good conductor of electricity and knowing locomotion a good deal of silver would be a constituent of his engine. In such a situation the train would act as a lightning rod.

It is important that Peter himself has shoes with rubber soles to avoid any adverse effect of the electricity.

If Peter can somehow accumulate a sufficient amount of electrical charge in an insulated container, and then connect the container to one of the train's metal panels- taking care not to inadvertently release said charge- I do believe it will be sufficient to stop Locomotion in his tracks. The shock (if you will pardon the pun) will give Peter enough time to use the locket Buttons here gave him to escape.

Now, the locket when opened has a clock inside it. All Peter has to do is to stop both the hands, and time will stop for a brief while.

I do hope you can reach Peter and explain this to him, Sally.
