"It isn't. It used to be hell for pilots and sailors alike before modern equipment came into being and they choose these islands on purposes as it would be very difficult to escape from here to Globexanter because a small raft would sink."

" Yes, we had a slight problem with a navy ship once there. It got from the area, but in one hell of a bad state. A tug boat nearly sank going to it. "

"So imagine a convict on a leaky raft 200 years ago. He wouldn't have gotten very far."

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:58 am

" Would of he even have left the dock ? "

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 8:59 am

"Unlikely. The other side of the islands are milder though but in order to run he would have tried to make an escape to Globexanter.. which is because of the jet stream a bit difficult."

" And the rocks back there aren't to nice either. " remarked one of Mike's men moving a box past him.

"Yes.. not too mention those sandbanks. It's not like at home where we have some shallows but also some fairly nasty corals. We are just lucky that hurricanes are rare and the climate very stable."

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:01 am

" Hurricanes ? When did you last have one of those ? "

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:04 am

"I think it was 15 years ago. It was in the south of the country. Can't remember anything of course as I was a kid and also from the other side of the country."

" We dont have hurricanes here luckily, it is mostly snow storms which are the big problems. The massive ones are a problem, the small and medium sized ones are alright. "

"I am not sure whether they have them here either. We have a tropical climate. Here it is not exactly tropical. I think they have some nasty gales coming in from the sea though."

" Like now then. " chuckled Mike.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:12 am

'"Yap. It's a good thing we got down from that roof. I wouldn't want to end up in the sea here." chucked one of the para's.

" Seems like this is going to last quite a while. " said one of Mike's men who was sitting down.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:18 am

"Yes.. we better get inside and search the place. Let those stupid groundhogs patrol the town while we look for something interesting." John said.

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:19 am

Mike nodded, he then walked to his men.

" Try and use pistols, conserve ammonution. " he grinned.

"Groundhogs.. that's how we call the fuseliers and infantrymen here. Interservice banter. All part of the fun." Lionel told Mike when going up the stairs searching the walls to find out whether there was anything hidden.

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:25 am

Mike grinned, and turned his flash light on until he found a light switch.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:26 am

"Careful." Lionel said. "I have heard that there was one that was bugged. It almost went off when some soldier tried to put on a light a while back."

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:27 am

Mike nodded, and stepped away from the switch and used his flash light instead, looking about.

" What about windows ? " he asked.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:29 am

"We haven't heard of any occasions yet but better be safe then sorry. I reckon that it would be a good idea to inform the bomb squad if we find anything suspicious. They have specialised equipment."

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:31 am

Mike nodded, and walked to the table in the middle of the room.

" I must be pissed. Look at this. " he said, calling over a soldier to the table.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:33 am

"What's going on ?" One of the para's turned around that was checking the book shelves.

by **Globexanter** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:34 am

Mike pointed to a piece of paper.

" It's in a code. " he said, pointing to it then a small book right next to it.

by **Free Tristania** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:35 am

"Interesting development. Keep it there for a moment while I check the drawers. Let's see what else is in there."
