[QUOTE="Job, post: 2840279, member: 37196"] [b]Summary: Lectures By Starkweather And Moore[/b] [COLOR=LightBlue]After completing their medical adventures the day before, the team meets the next morning at 8 o'clock a.m. at the Amherst Hotel's Rose Room. It was the first time that the entire team of expedition members were in one place at one time. Several long tables were laid out, with breakfast steaming on a buffet sideboard. A large chalkboard stood at the front of the room. James Starkweather stood at the podium to start the meeting, tall and charismatic, with dark brown hair and a noble profile. He greeted several expedition members by name and welcomed everyone. He was filled with infectious enthusiasm; it was clear that he saw great things ahead in the far South. Commander Starkweather explained: [list][*]The expedition would depart New York on September 14th and travel via the Panama canal to Melbourne, Australia. There it would refuel and reprovision, and would be ready to make landfall in the Ross Sea as early as November 1st if the pack ice permitted. [*]Aircraft would be the main means of transport. Three, large, fast, modern aircraft, Boeing model 247's were purchased, along with a smaller plane, the sturdy Fairchild FC-2, to be used for mapping and exploration on the Ross Ice Shelf. [*]Three semi-permanent camps were planned: The base camp on the shore of the Ross Sea, the second near the site of the ill-fated Miskatonic University camp, and the third would be a forward base for exploration located on the ancient high plateau on the far side of the Miskatonic Mountains. [*]The expedition would leave Antarctica on or before February 1st. [/list] Professor Moore then rose and greeted each expedition member, inviting them to stand and say a few words about themselves. He then hung a large map of Antarctica over the chalkboard, most of it empty white uncharted territory (see attached map) and explained: [list][*]He expected the expedition to fill in quite a bit of the map of Antarctica before returning on February 1st (he said this with a grin). [*]They would be sharing the continent with 3 other expeditions and Mr. Starkweather wished to stay out of the way of those teams, if possible. He did not believe that the other expeditions planned to push ahead to the Miskatonic Mountains. He provided an overview of the known plans of the other expeditions, pointing out their published locations and travel routes on the map, comparing them to your own plans. [*]He then led a quiet toast to the success of the voyage, and wound up with a discussion of the work yet to be done, including verifying the ship's inventory against the manifests...[/list][/COLOR]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).
