It was a late evening. Most of the people were in their cabins sleeping or getting ready to go to bed. Some were still in the midst of gambling, others were dancing, and some were simply savoring life at its finest.

That evening, William and Sherlock were enjoying each other's company. They felt as if they had forgotten their respective statuses and were living within a dream - a dream yet to fade. Because the fateful moment was drawing closer and closer.

They were enjoying their evening tea in the lounge when they heard strange noises from outside. They exchanged glances, and without saying a word, both men swiftly left for the top deck to investigate the source of the commotion. They even felt as if the ship had collided with something. Both of the young men harbored a sense of unease about the situation.

As the professor and detective ascended to the deck, they noticed ice pieces present. Some passengers were playing with the ice, not considering it a significant matter. In truth, no one believed that anything could befall the grand ship. However, at that very moment, both men exchanged glances and realized that the ship had struck an iceberg. This realization made them contemplate the potential of the ship sinking.

Without uttering a word, they hastened to find the captain and confirm their suspicions. These two sharp minded individuals cherished being proven correct, yet at that moment, they were hoping that their calculations were wrong. Upon entering the captain's cabin, they observed several crew members gathered around the captain.

No one noticed them when they entered the cabin, as everyone was waiting for the captain's announcement.

"The ship is sinking. In a matter of hours, it will rest peacefully in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Save as many as you can. Priority goes to women and children," the captain stated in a serious but a calm manner.

When the captain issued the orders, everyone dispersed to carry out their assigned tasks.

The cunning lord of crime, William James Moriarty, and the deductive genius detective, Sherlock Holmes, realized they were no match for an iceberg. Even with their minds combined, they were powerless against it. Therefore, they concentrated on their current objective: assisting the crew in saving as many people as possible.
