Default I've got a Wandering Eye

So, here I am with new orders to travel to Koror Bay to take a photograph of what I might find docked there and I'm just hanging out with my XO and some of the fella steering the boat (What are the official names for those pisitions anyway?)....

...and I do a Shift-F2.

Well.. I wander on back behind the XO at the desk with the chart before him to the desk back in the corner under the conning tower. I peak around and smile when I notice the clock actually shows 'In Game' time accurately and then I ponder the hatch to my right.

If you go through the hatch about 1 second past the 'blue screen' all of a sudden you can see the Conning Tower and then come up through the conning tower floor.

WooHoo!

It's not spacially exact but I can now go from the main room (what's the main room called anyway) to the conning tower with my wandering eye.

Because of my wandering eye I can now get amazing angles in the conning tower like this !!

Even in SH3 the clocks showed the correct time (Zulu, of course - never local time). And wandering around the boat is always cool.

Here I am playing with my wandering eye up in the conning tower while we're 300 ft below the surface deep into enemy territory waiting for the cover of darkness and...

I stand in front of the ladder going up top and see a little portable electric light. Behind it is a two ft tall x one ft wide and one ft deep metal box with a door on the front of it.

So... I cast an etheral form spell (whoops, wrong genre) and I desolidify and move through the door towards the wall behind it.. what are those black lines pointing towards I ask...

I follow them and find myself 'OUTSIDE' the control room skin looking at the entire control room from the outside.

Give it a try.

And give my wandering eye back when you're done with it.

Up in the conning tower, check out over there in the corner to the left of the ladder and behind the portable light.



Now, crawl on your hands and knees and stick your head into the grey box towards the bow of the boat and push your head through the wall and you will see this....



Now follow right between these lines they show you where to go and you come out here....



Now.. for that D20 roll....

I couldn't bring dice here to Baghdad. You can bring playing cards, you can bring all manner of gambling stuff but you can NOT bring dice or poker chips. heh.

So.. I've gone to:

And below is my result



Did I make my Save vs Nerdness roll?
