*Oberon takes a look at the book.*

"This is dark magic...dark indeed...perhaps he was a follower of the beast which devoured Romans soul..."

*He pulls out the print-out from his pocket.*

"Let me tell you the two things I know, firstly, AVSM, rest his soul, was a guardian, a man who protects others from attacks by fierce beasts, it is regrettable that he lost his life in his line of duty, however a guardian protects another, and cannot protect himself."

*He takes the print-out and pins it up on the notice-board.*

"This is what I found in the printer in the sonar room...I do not understand what it means...to me it looks like a piece of modern art, but perhaps one of our civilian scientists would be able to understand it better than I."

*Oberon turns and puts both hands down on a table.*

"Now...who else has information?"

*looks at the printout*

Could this be a sort of...sonar map of the landscape around us?

I know that makes no sense, but sense stopped being important in the last few days

*pauses for a few seconds*

...Does anybody know the location we were in before the explosions started?

"Baggygreen had a copy of that in his belongings aswell.

It appears to be a sonar map of the area where we've landed. I'm guessing that the black spot is the Thanatus but as for the surrounding shapes, I've no idea. They seem too regular to be natural to me though.

Also there appears to be some kind of conspiracy onboard as well. They call themselves the 'Investigation' and appear to have a number of people onboard involved. They claim that they 'are on the human side' but they also claim that should someone go against them, they have sufficient clout to have that person lynched."

"Looks like paranoia is beginning to set in....nice one. Why doesn't everybody just abstain at every vote, then we can all die together due to lack of air or starvation"

*Bangs down his emptied cup of bug juice and leaves the room*

*Grabs jimbuna by the arm before he leaves the room*

"Well what do you suggest then? That we continue killing innocent people? And you seem a bit too bloodthirsty for my taste, seems you want us to kill someone but . If it is so then tell us who we should murder. Now understand this, this is nothing personal and I'm really not trying to make you my enemy but if we keep killing innocent people we we'll just die twice as fast."

I have to agree with Mr. Nokia here...

*gulps down bug juice*

...we can't just kill random people...

"And its easy to slam down an empty cup - why not put some bug juice in it - then slam it down empty after drinking?"

"Is that a scientific fact?. Look at what has occured so far....almost half the poor bloody unfortunates down here have either yet to vote or have abstained repeatedly and some piece of sh!t is sitting back feeling real cosy just watching us pick each other off one by one. Ever played 'Texas Hold-Em'? It's a great game, but only if your holding the aces"

"If your house is riddled with vernom and you can't find their nest, you sometimes need to take drastic measures to flush em out"

"When in doubt, apathy and indecision is your biggest enemy"

I do believe the text read "emptied" as in 'was full but was now empty as a result of having been drunk/consumed'

*Refills the cup...drinks it and slams the bugga down again (seeing as how it has once again been 'emptied') for 'impact' purposes.

"Nokia I heard those noises too. I didn't know what they were but if they are propellers, then somebody must be using a boat nearby."


"Is there a way we can contact them?"

"well jimbuna - thats good enough for me!"

*Oberon looks over at Tarjak*

"Tarjak, you've been busy with that laptop of yours. What have you found?"

"Righteo....let us hope we are looking at an end to the apathy and indecision......BE MORE AGGRESSIVE"

"I'm going back to the rescue sub to have another go at sorting out that faulty seal. If any of you are willing to help or are thinking of popping over to see how I'm getting along....make a little noise and warn me of your approach....unless your wearing a bullet proof brain"

*Taps the 9mm Browning underneath his tunic, fills his mug with bug juice, takes a hefty gulp and proceeds to the rescue sub*

"I'll come with you jimbuna."

*Follows jimbuna and on the way out leaves the pistol taken from the captains cabin on the table*

"I won't be needing two pistols so I believe I can trust one of you with this"

*Takes the standard German P8 service pistol from his pocket and puts it back in it's holster where the captains pistol just had been.*
