Chapter Two

August 2014

An eel trawler is amidst the mist. They are stranded and without food. They caught something in the net. It is an airplane. They reel the airplane in. Bwana, Kito and Lina meet the sailors.

Learn from Joe that the lighthouse is out of order and that they rely on it to get their bearing in navigation.

THE MIST.

Figure out what direction the ship is going:

Joe:    Talk to Joe. Joe is on watch to look for Port Artue. Learn that they are moored to the buoy.

They are on M.S. Biko an eel trawler. There are only mist, Bwana does not hear water. One morning, the lighthouse was just gone from view.

Lina:    Talk to Lina. Bwana's father's book helps a lot in learning about Underland. They have to reach Underland.

Airplane:    Go down on the right side of the trawler. Walk the net to the upside down airplane.

Kito is seasick. Talk to Kito to hear a synopsis of Chapter 1.

Borrow the screwdriver from the toolbox. Take the duct tape from the safety belt of pilot's chair.

Use the screwdriver to take the compass from the instrument panel.

Joe:    Give (click-hold-move item in inventory) the compass to Joe. They are at NNE.

See the size of the mistrawlers. They have huge hull. Upbound vessels need ballast tanks for bouyancy control to navigate mist and water.

Small eels are caught using nets while large eels require multiple harpoons.

To navigate without the use of the lighthouse, a barometer (depth), compass (bearing) and chart (location) are needed.

See a chart of marker descriptions, a map of the mist and how to do celestial navigation.

The Path Star is the only celestial reference in the mist. Using the star's location compared to the Celestial Navotorium, the longitude and latitude can be used using the Age index.

Learn about the dangers of the mist: the hungries, cliffs and piracy. The Outer Cross has cliffs which makes navigation impossible. It is also the place where pirates hide and do raids.
