 		[UPDATE] Scarlett Kite - 15 Sept 06 - Sea Journey
Quote:
We're going to the Lancewood Archipelago! Violet and I booked our tickets on a fast charter ship leaving from Portside Docks on Sunday. I've never been on a proper journey by sea before - actually, the only times I've been on a boat were around the Mobius Strip with friends - so it's going to be exciting

Dad didn't take much convincing, since he was very pleased with my report from college and agreed that if my trip to Tanraga was so useful, going on a research trip to Lancewood also made sense. "Travel broadens the mind," he nodded sagely. He was a bit surprised though when Violet agreed so quickly to going along as my chaperone, but it worked out well for us.

The Lancewood Archipelago, also known as the Isles of Gyvann because of its historic association with Cubeheads, is one of those places which people love making documentaries about. Our science teacher at school kept on showing us old programmes about the huge Tretretretre skeletons they dug up there. It was hard to believe that they were so big in the past and only just died out a few thousand years ago! I so would have loved to have seen them. There's a lot of other rare wildlife there, cut off from the rest of the world, and some interesting history to do with naval battles and pirates.

After meeting with Kurt, I went down to the Academy archives with Violet to look at the old travel records (we bumped into Von along the way, he seemed a bit flustered when I said Hi), and we found out that a bunch of Academy researchers had visited the islands in Granier's time, but mostly studying zoology and geology. Of course they could be lying, but we didn't find any that stuck out. There is a slight problem, in that the archipelago is notoriously difficult to navigate - the Cubeheads who used to live in a retreat there apparently have the most detailed information about the sandbanks and so on. Strangely, Violet seems to think she can persuade some Recons to help us - I expect she'll fill you in on that though.

So, we should be at the Archipelago on Monday afternoon. Some of the bigger islands are inhabited, and we have a hotel booked there. The exact island we want to go to doesn't have anyone living on it though, so we'll have to take a boat or something. I guess we'll figure that out when we get there.

Oh! I bet you'll want to know how we worked out that it's the Lancewood Archipelago Granier was talking about. I'm not completely sure myself, but Kurt showed me a map of 13 shapes on his office wall that had all sorts of lines and crossings-out. "They correspond exactly to the Lancewood islands, it's absolutely clear!" he said very confidently. I think he said that he'll be posting more about it on his blog. He said he'd love to come along with me and Violet to the islands, but there's no way Garnet would let him take any time off. Oh well...
