Dream Report
Nap Dream Report: BBC's John Watson, attending to patients at St. Bart's hospital, is a bit taken aback when equipment in the ICU begins to communicate with him, as if he's some sort of mechanical Dr. Doolittle.
Dr. Watson learns which nurses are excellent, and which sneak a few pain pills for themselves. They also have opinions on the other doctors, too.
They also know of his association with Sherlock Holmes, since both John and Sherlock have been treated there, they always enjoyed watching Sherlock's experiments, and of course, they are able to monitor the TV news and have befriended the CCTV network. In other words, they've done their research.
They've made themselves known to Dr Watson because they think he's very decent for a human, and, well, they think some of the patients have been dying before their time. That someone is using them (the machines) to commit murder, but they're not always completely sure, because something mechanically mystifying happens. Not that they've had memory wipes or been turned off, but they record things in their secret memories during these suspicious deaths that they themselves were not programmed to do, and that cannot categorize or comprehend.
John, of course, thinks he's going mad, or perhaps that curry at lunch was a bit dodgy.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Dr. Watson, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
".........and a heart monitor quotes Hamlet, of course." John presses his back against the wall and looks at the ceiling. " Someone's having me on. Must be."
"We saw Doctor Who playing Hamlet on the television," Heart Monitor says with what John can only imagine is shy pride.
(David Tennant, shortly after leaving Doctor Who, played Hamlet. Patrick Stewart played Hamlet, Sr.)
"Ah, right, well, actually the actor who..."
"The heart monitor interrupted him. " Doctor Who. Hamlet. We have discussed it much."
"Really."
"The play centers around The Doctor Hamlet's father being terminated wrongly."
"Yes, yes that's right."
"The Doctor is a Time Lord. His father was a king. Higher than a lord. Why did not the Doctor Hamlet's father regenerate when poisoned?"

Sorry to say that I wasn't asleep enough to get the explanation.
