[In several languages is a single message written out, before it is transmitted in English:]

To the HMS Allegiance: Man overboard.

That aside, I assume even from my gross lack of experience with the country that this is not New South Wales.

If it is, that certainly puts me in a queer predicament; though given that it is certainly not England, I suppose I am, any road. How far from the colony were you?

[victoryof.livejournal.com]

Admiral Roland.

Not far at all; we were not even yet to Madeira.

[tops-the-world.livejournal.com]

Tharkay.

And I was yet in Dover. Whatever they've been at in Botany Bay, I dare say it has not involved this much metallurgy.

[victoryof.livejournal.com]

Have you any reports of men disappearing, recently?

[tops-the-world.livejournal.com]

Not among the Corps, though I would not be surprised to hear of desertions elsewhere; and nothing of this nature. Did the Allegiance mislay any men before your own disappearance?

[victoryof.livejournal.com]

No, though we did gain some unexpected.

oh, fuck it, uploads a new one for the job.

[tops-the-world.livejournal.com]

Indeed?

hahahahaa.

You may note Captain Granby missing from patrols in the future.

[tops-the-world.livejournal.com]

That is a difficulty; but if it means Iskierka is any less likely to do herself and Granby a mischief, then so be it.

At any rate, we are no closer to an explanation why the both of us are here. Are you within that building or without?

[victoryof.livejournal.com]

I think Iskierka is no only less likely to do any harm in England.

Within. Am I needed, Admiral?

[tops-the-world.livejournal.com]

We will have enough to deal with in the coming weeks without Iskierka getting herself into further scrapes. You may have her, for now.

I shall come in, then; if we are the only two who have been marooned in this fashion, we would be a sight better off to communicate in person.

As may everyone on board that wooded boat.

I will see you at the front entrance, then.
