[QUOTE="Job, post: 2853361, member: 37196"] [b]SUMMARY: Taking Inventory 1[/b] [COLOR=LightBlue]After some gentle prodding from Dr. Moore, the team members each accepted a manifest to verify. Martin teamed up with Pierce Albemarle, the expedition's meteorologist, and were the first to depart the hotel and make their way to the USS Gabrielle to verify manifest #3. Pierce was a portly gentleman sporting a fashionable mustache and a monacle for reading, but was friendly and seemed willing to contribute wherever needed. Pierce led Martin across the ship's deck to the hatch that led down to Tween Deck #3. Martin decended the ladder into the dark space, then groped for the light switch and was eventually successful in lighting the cargo hold. The lights, eighteen-inch diameter reflectors with four electric bulbs hanging from hooks overhead, were covered with sturdy metal grilles on the front and strung together with long extension cords. Even when lit, these lights failed to chase all of the shadows from the cargo hold and Martin and Pierce required flashlights to read the stenciling on the crates and inspect the contents. Pierce climbed down into the hold only after the lights were lit, then the two of them began the work of locating the items that were listed on the manifest. Problems were found. 1) The inspectors found the (5) "bag, set aircraft tools", but Pierce seemed to think that these were toolsets for marine engines and they made a note to later check with one of the pilots. 2) They were unable to find the (2) "sled, 900 board feet lumber for base". 3) Martin was frustrated after 2 hours of fruitless searching for his (1) "box, set film developing equipment & chemicals".[/COLOR] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).
