FINAL INVESTIGATION

[bathymetric]

Good morning, passengers. You've made landfall.

The ship arrives at the shore of the island early in the morning, suddenly grinding to a halt for the first time in weeks. A ramp is lowered directly onto the beach, and The Captain almost immediately hops down it, laughing the whole while as he does. Jones stands on the ship, not following, and The Captain addresses you:

"Don't take too long! We have business in that lighthouse, you and I."

Without another word, The Captain heads towards a path on the beach that heads lighthouse-ward, but not before turning back again.

"And Jones! Head to your ship and ready the crew for when this is over."

Jones seems... not quite content to do this, whatever it is, but after a minute or so for any last conversation, he vanishes into a wall.

With both of your captors no longer on board, the ship is quiet. Its engines are stalled, the journey over. If you wish to survive the day, you're going to have to go onto that island and face The Captain once and for all.

But first... there are some areas you definitely haven't explored yet! If you're going to go in with all the information you need, might be time to take advantage of this situation...

This is your ship's current Captain, Lelouch vi Britannia, speaking.

[WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THE BROADCAST EQUIPMENT]

Do not adjust your set.

[sivard]

[Well that gets Zaveid to look around wildly. Why do you torment the fantasy world man so, Lelouch]

What? Where are you?

[jibunwo]

I'm astrally projecting.

[Beat.]

...Just kidding. I'm in Jack's office, looks like he had a direct line to where you are right now.

[sivard]

[please don't harass the quasi-immortal man, he'll haunt your descendants]

Well, that would make sense, actually, considering we're in what appears to be Jones' room.

[jibunwo]

[yeah don't worry about lelouch having any of those]

That figures. Of course he'd want a direct line.

[sivard]

[in that case he'll haunt your distantly-related relatives who don't deserve this]

We've found a lot of interesting stuff, I'm pretty sure. We'll have to all compare notes as soon as we can.

[zaveid is the type who would blab, but that would be #spoilers]

[jibunwo]

Same here. I get the feeling we'll have an opportunity to do so before long, so we can consolidate once we're on the island.

[magycks]

[ BARELY AUDIBLE ON THE BROADCAST, IF AT ALL: ]

Nerd.

[jibunwo]

[Leaning over partway out of frame:]

Some of us want to lighten the dismal mood a bit, Magica.

[magycks]

Oh, is that what the little AV club routine was for? I thought you were going to start the morning announcements.

[jibunwo]

Joke's on you, I am on the student council.

[cethflayn]

[...

Oh wait no it's a joke okay]

Ahah! It seems we are now under much more tolerable management!
