[QUOTE="Job, post: 4241174, member: 37196"] [b]Sept 11 Evening - USS Gabrielle off the Eastern Seaboard[/b] There are 48 crewmen and 35 expedition personnel on board. From the amount of congestion, one might imagine that there were ten times that number. Because of the last-minute preparations after the fire, everything is in great confusion in the aftercastle and even below decks. Every bunk is piled high with equipment which has overflowed to the floor. There is scarcely a place where one can set foot on deck. Supplies of all descriptions so fill the deck that to get from fore to aft it is either necessary to do a perilous balancing act on the rail or else risk one's neck in an alpine assault over peaks and precipices of crates and boxes. It will be days before everything is properly stowed away. And if this were not enough, the chaos is exaggerated by the mixed harmony of the dogs howling below and the high pitched overtones from the radio machinery above. The dogs howled all day long, with an unearthly disharmony all their own, and it seemed that the radio would keep at it all night. What few wits were left to everyone were being sorely tested. Fortunately, Niles Abraham, the ship's cook, provided an excellent meal and this brightened spirits considerably. The ship's first dinner is eaten at long tables in the ship's mess halls. Thereafter, the expedition member's time is their own. At the end of the meal, Professor Moore announced that he expected everyone on the expedition to become as familiar as possible with the facts of life in the Antarctic before arrival. He asks all expedition members to lecture or give lessons in their areas of expertise. Attendance at these sessions is not mandatory, but it is expected. [COLOR=Lime][OOC - If your character might be interested in running a session, please post a note.][/COLOR] The professor plans to post a list of sessions the next morning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).
