[QUOTE="Job, post: 2902549, member: 37196"] Martin and Pierce successfully locate all remaining items on the manifest, but the (2) "sled, 900 board feet lumber for base" remain missing. [COLOR=Yellow]"Welcome back, gentlemen! I was beginning to worry that we'd lost you!"[/COLOR] exclaimed Professor Moore when the two of you walked into the Ship's Mess to report back. As you related your findings, Moore responded as follows: 1) He looked up, stunned, when you mentioned identifying the incorrect wrenches, then patted you on the back and said [COLOR=Yellow]"Very impressive sleuthwork, Dr. Watson!"[/COLOR]. You thought that you may have even glimpsed the right corner of his lip turn upwards, but it vanished so rapidly that you couldn't be sure. Moore then searched through a grey metal filing cabinet and shouted [COLOR=Yellow]"Aha!" [/COLOR] as he plucked a piece of paper from the drawer like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat. The original purchase order was with Bertram Ironworks of Baltimore and, in fact, showed that these wrenches were exactly as ordered. [COLOR=Yellow]"I'll have to order new sets," [/COLOR] he said with a grimace. 2) Professor Moore had no success in locating a purchase order for the sleds and wood, and wrote furiously in a notebook for a minute, sighing as he said, [COLOR=Yellow]"Another order, another error, another delay."[/COLOR] 3) [COLOR=Yellow]"I'm glad that you found your photography supplies, Martin, but do you plan to sleep with them?" [/COLOR] he asked. [COLOR=Yellow]"I assure you that they're safe stowed below in the hold."[/COLOR] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one). [/QUOTE]
