S5: “Ship on the Line. Stand Ready for Boarding.”

  [Jimmy Stays in Contact with his New York Newspaper Editor] Saturday evening, 9 Sept : “Ring, ring. Hey boss, Jimmy here. I need you to authorize another fifty-bucks into my account. Professor Moore’s room steward is starting to jack-up his asking price for info. Appease him now till we sail. I did learn the trio met with that famous painter Nicholas Roerich. Something about a Dyer manuscript he was supposed to handover to Starks till he got mugged by Germans. Yeah, dem Nazi guys. And according to Nicholas, Ms. Lexington is of that fascist persuasion. Which now makes them question the recent hire of the German ship captain, Heir Vredenburg. Moore seems more concern Dyer didn’t try to contact him instead of Starks. He can’t understand why James didn’t agree to meet with Nicholas, “James would have turned it into another photo op.” Anyway, I gotta get back onboard the ship. I’ll take notes and send from the Panama Canal.” [Jimmy’s Notes] Sunday, 10 Sept : last day in New York...

S15: Rescue Party

5 Dec, 4pm : Near the base of the headless Elder statue, lay a huge basalt boulder. The statue’s head. Starkweather shouted with glee as he climbed atop the severed head and called out to Wilbur, “Take my picture, getting the statue itself as background. Wait, let me strike a triumphant pose, the conquering hero.” James was already composing the newspaper article in his head that would detail his most-grand Antarctica exploration. Pictures to go with the artifacts he was already collecting. Meanwhile, Professor Moore and the other scientists of the party stood in marvel as they gazed up the river at the sprawling city. At one end, the frozen river seemed to cascade down into a gapping cave mouth as if feeding the underworld. Up river, they saw collapsed causeways and bridges that once spanned the river. Empty streets laid out in almost pentagonal patterns yet not quite. Buildings that looked like stacked archways with open windows and thresholds. From which ice seemed to flow. Offeri...

S9: “This must be it! One of Lake’s find.”

Jeff/Dr. Robert Cope was absent 20 Nov, morning : This was just a cleanup at the Lexington camp. No rescue other than distancing from the growing argument between Acacia and James in her tent. Back and forth name calling. “Deranged.” “Incompetent.” The polar guides from each team (Haakon Tuvinen with Lexington and Peter Sykes from Starkweather) had grown weary. Haakon confessed, “I’m thinking the seaman who jumped overboard had the right idea. Batshit crazy he was. You’d have to talk to our Radio Operator Mr. Tony Hopewell to learn more. The two of them were sharing a bottle before the man just up and jumped so I heard.” Oskar nudged Wilbur, “Did you hear that? You go speak with Tony and I’ll ask Dr. Anthony for his notes on the matter.” Dr. Anthony had little to add, “He was seaman Bicks. The ship crew was already mad at our expedition team, so the ship doctor handled the case.” Oskar suggested, “Did your radioman have any symptoms? I heard they shared a bottle before the man jump...
