{{Hobbs Island Transcript}}
This is the transcript of what was seen to occur on [[Hobbs Island]], in the [[Lancewood Archipelago]].  [[Violet]] and [[Scarlett]] went on a random hunt here, looking for clues from [[Anthony Granier]].  When they arrived, they discovered some sort of bunker, which had previously gone under the guise of a lighthouse.  They started to need some help, so contacted [[Kurt]], who setup a [http://events.perplexcity.com/gateway/scarlettkiteway/labs/map.html chat interface and viewer].


The dates discovered during these events can be seen in relation to each other and PPC general history in the [[Timeline:History|Timeline]].

==THURSDAY, 21-SEP-06==
[17:39] Violet: Fine, fine


[17:39] Kurt: At 10am
On Thursday, 21 September 2006 (269 PXC), [[Violet]] and [[Scarlett]] explored Level one of the bunker.  They discovered it was a [[Lancewood Labs|laboratory]], self-sufficient in power from an undetermined source.  The laboratory includes military-style barracks with bunks and a mess hall.  One of the dishes served in the dining room was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tansy tansy pudding], an abortificant.


[17:38] Kurt: Don't call me that. I'm heading off as well. Talk to you tomorrow.
The lab opened in February 1732 (5 BC, PXC).  [[Vianne_Adamek|Master Adamek]] was present for the opening.  In 1733, the lab received a new "anti-air battery", which Kurt guessed is for a surface-to-air missle.    We also learned that in December 1736, [[Viehattle]] ended the cease-fire and declared war on Perplex City.


[17:38] Violet: Come on Scarlett - we'll be back tomorrow morning K-meister, maybe 10.30am?

[17:38] Violet: Right, we're off.


[17:38] Scarlett: Or Von.
==FRIDAY, 22-SEP-06==


[17:38] Violet: Or *Brede*.
Level two of the labs was explored on Friday, 22 September 2006.  Two pressurized labs were discovered, with equipment such as a Class 5A Laser and a Magnetic Micromanipulator.  Each lab had an observation room attached.


[17:37] Scarlett: Grump.
The lab's purpose appears to be for a Material Research & Control project, experimenting on a 'General Purpose Self-Contained Material System (Cubic)' -- aka, the [[Receda Cube]].  Findings suggest the experiments wer trying to acheive a max coherence time to extend its capabilities:
::12 March 1732 - max coherence 0.2s acheived
::2 June 1732 - June 2nd 1732 - max coherence to 1.3s, but power spikes. Change silicon doping?
::late 1732 - programming breakthrough, coherence extended to 10s


[17:37] Violet: OK then. Scarlett, if I can take a picture of you hurling and send it to Iona, then you're welcome.
An accident occurred in December 1736, leading to the deaths of Drs. [[Kennard]] and [[Cook]]. A letter from [[Vianne_Adamek|Adamek]] to [[Edwina Mountling]] states that [[Anthony Granier]] with be appointed the Government Liason for the lab.


[17:37] Kurt: And the squid?
[[Violet]] discovered that the elevator has two doors, leading to a second set of rooms for level 2.  With this discovery, we learned that the lab's floorplans mimic the design of the [[Third Power|3P]] symbol.


[17:36] Violet: I don't know, maybe 10am, 10:30am?
[[Violet]], [[Scarlett]], and [[Kurt]] all remark that it's weird no one's found the lab before this; the Kiteway sisters plan to question the islanders about this.


[17:36] Kurt: When will you be back at the lab tomorrow?

[17:35] Kurt: I have to get back to work here, I've got a meeting with Garnet about the data link in a few minutes and I need to read up on the agenda


[17:35] Scarlett: Bah. I wanted to hurl a squid of my very own.
==MONDAY, 25-SEP-06==


[17:34] Violet: We are not going to the squid-hurling
Level Three is explored.  The crew discovers the offices of Granier and Mountling.  Violet is intrigued by Mountling's personal diaries.  They discover a number of sealed off machine and experimentation rooms.


[17:34] Scarlett: Squiiiiiiiiiiid!

[17:34] Violet: You know, I think it's the annual squid-hurling festival this evening.


[17:33] Violet: I think it'll be too dark to head back once we've got it, so we'll probably wait until tomorrow morning before coming back and trying the lift
==TUESDAY, 26-SEP-06==


[17:32] Kurt: Fair enough
'''It's The Cube!  They were building The Receda Cube!'''


[17:31] Violet: Unless there's a shop selling crowbars here, we're going to have to head back to the port town

[17:30] Kurt: So, what's the plan?


[17:30] Violet: Right, we're outside now
==TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING, 26-SEP-06==


[17:29] Kurt: Yeah, it's a bit odd, but they must've wanted to keep this place safe
Power surge!  Maybe it's just old wiring.  Hey, did I hear a door opening...?

[17:28] Kurt: I think it's a surface-to-air missile battery, in case any planes tried to bomb the labs


[17:28] Kurt: Don't call me that.
==WEDNESDAY, 27-SEP-06==


[17:28] Violet: How am I supposed to know. Maybe it explodes on contact with air? K-man?
Here there be monsters.


[17:27] Scarlett: What's anti-air?

[17:27] Violet: From October 1733. Electrical hookups for new anti-air battery have been delivered safely.


[17:27] Violet: It's a docket pinned to the wall.

[17:26] Violet: Actually, yes, maybe that is useful.
[[Category: Transcripts]]
 
[17:26] Scarlett: No, really, I think I found something useful.
 
[17:25] Violet: What?
 
[17:25] Scarlett: What's this Vi?
 
[17:25] Violet: Let's *go*.
 
[17:25] Violet: If you want something high-fat and very bad for you I think we have some motor oil on board the boat.
 
[17:25] Scarlett: /me hears her tummy rumbling.
 
[17:25] Scarlett: Or, oooh, cheese in a can! Now 20% more fat content!
 
[17:24] Violet: Come away from that
 
[17:23] Scarlett: Look at the packet, it's now got extra crunch!
 
[17:23] Scarlett: Aw, are you sure we can't try some of this delicious dried suet?
 
[17:23] Violet: Just heading back now
 
[17:22] Violet: I can look through the hand-written stuff with my reference materials.
 
[17:22] Violet: OK, so we'll head out.
 
[17:22] Kurt: I can't open it from here, so it's up to you. Crowbar is as good an idea as any.
 
[17:21] Violet: any thoughts about getting into the lift Kurt?
 
[17:20] Scarlett: Yeah, can we leave now?
 
[17:20] Violet: I'm heading out to get some fresh air
 
[17:18] Violet: Bloody Granier, dragging us out here
 
[17:18] Violet: Well, that's about it, unless there's something in the lift
 
[17:17] Scarlett: Yours isn't. I've seen your shopping lists. "Buy two firglenoogles."
 
[17:16] Kurt: Hand what?
 
[17:16] Violet: Hand-writing now is not what it used to be
 
[17:16] Violet: I'll need to take them back to the camp to check them out.
 
[17:16] Violet: There are a few hand-written papers as well
 
[17:15] Violet: /me rolls eyes
 
[17:15] Scarlett: Bo-ring
 
[17:15] Violet: If we were in the city, this thing'd be under glass
 
[17:15] Violet: Man. Half a 300-odd year-old newspaper
 
[17:14] Violet: There are a few papers on the floor here
 
[17:14] Scarlett: All sorts of interesting old menus in the dining room, but not much apart from that
 
[17:13] Violet: Spotted something in the waste room
 
[17:12] Violet: Okay, there's a manual override here, but it's pretty stiff. I'm going to find a crowbar or something and look over this place again
 
[17:11] Violet: I'm pressing the 'open' button and it's not working
 
[17:11] Kurt: It should be receiving power
 
[17:10] Violet: Can't open it, it's locked shut
 
[17:09] Kurt: Yeah, I was wondering what that was
 
[17:09] Violet: There's a lift here, in the northwest of the floor
 
[17:08] Scarlett: I'm going to have a look back in the dining room again
 
[17:08] Violet: Not much in the next room, it's just a waste storage area
 
[17:07] Kurt: Heh
 
[17:07] Scarlett: Stop that
 
[17:06] Violet: /me finally gives in to temptation and smacks Scarlett
 
[17:06] Violet: Stop that
 
[17:05] Scarlett: Wooooooh
 
[17:05] Violet: The place does have an atmosphere though. It's quite cold, and the sound of our feet seems to be - I don't know - deadened somehow? Maybe I'm imagining it.
 
[17:04] Violet: For all we know they died happily in their homes surrounded by grandchildren. No need to be morbid.
 
[17:03] Scarlett: For all we know someone died in these beds...
 
[17:03] Violet: We could sleep right here. But that'd be weird.
 
[17:03] Violet: All very neat, military style. Bunk beds, lockers. Some of the beds are made.
 
[17:02] Violet: Dormitories through here.
 
[17:02] Kurt: I wouldn't try any of that stuff in the kitchen, by the way, even if it is canned or dehydrated
 
[17:02] Scarlett: Mmmmm. I am getting hungry.
 
[17:01] Scarlett: This week's specials: Artichoke soup, Trout a la Grecque, Tansy pudding
 
[17:01] Scarlett: Menu on the wall!
 
[17:00] Scarlett: Hahahah!
 
[17:00] Violet: Could be
 
[17:00] Kurt: Good point. Safety maybe?
 
[17:00] Violet: Wonder what they used for light. It's pretty gloomy in here. And why did they have to be below ground?
 
[16:59] Scarlett: This place has a lot of seats! I think at least 100 people would be able to fit in here.
 
[16:58] Violet: Kitchens lead into dining room. Makes sense.
 
[16:58] Violet: All a bit drab though. I suppose it was wartime.
 
[16:57] Violet: My old history prof would kill to get a look at this.
 
[16:57] Violet: Very funny. But the stuff here... canned foods with paper labels, dehydrated foods to mix with boiling water.
 
[16:57] Kurt: I hate to tell you this, but you can see one in your apartment as well. I know you don't use it, but...
 
[16:56] Violet: Wow. Know you won't appreciate this, Kurt, but the kitchen is amazing. Don't see this stuff outside the history books.
 
[16:56] Violet: Kitchens are next
 
[16:54] Violet: It doesn't say. Doesn't seem to have an inlet, either - it's hooked up to some big cables to the side
 
[16:54] Kurt: What sort of fuel does it take?
 
[16:53] Scarlett: There's a generator in the next room
 
[16:53] Violet: Okay, okay, I'm done
 
[16:52] Kurt: Sigh
 
[16:50] Violet: I'm just going to be a minute
 
[16:50] Violet: It is! You're just a savage, Kurt, you don't appreciate good facilities
 
[16:49] Kurt: Honestly guys, this is supposed to be serious
 
[16:49] Scarlett: Toilets!
 
[16:49] Kurt: What?
 
[16:48] Violet: It's amazing... incredible!
 
[16:48] Kurt: What is it?
 
[16:48] Violet: Next room now
 
[16:47] Kurt: I guess they removed the solar panels or whatever, the lighthouse is gone, after all
 
[16:46] Violet: There's a bit of paper with a transmission from the Academy, December 1736, about Viehattle ending the cease-fire and declaring war on Perplex City
 
[16:46] Violet: There's something else here about Viehattle
 
[16:44] Scarlett: Nothing like that
 
[16:44] Kurt: Odd. Did you see any signs of solar panels or turbines on the island?
 
[16:43] Violet: There's a memo dated June 1735 saying that power restrictions on the radio equipment are over, since Lancewood is 'now self-sufficient in power'
 
[16:42] Kurt: What's interesting?
 
[16:42] Violet: Interesting...
 
[16:42] Scarlett: There's some stuff on the walls. Lab notices, memos, rotas, photos of old Perplex City
 
[16:41] Violet: Yeah, the people here were obviously careful
 
[16:41] Scarlett: All of the paper here has been shredded!
 
[16:40] Kurt: Thanks
 
[16:40] Violet: I'll turn the equipment on anyway, in case you figure out a way to interface with it
 
[16:40] Violet: I don't think so, I've never seen equipment like this before
 
[16:38] Kurt: I wonder if we can use it to boost the key signal or something
 
[16:38] Scarlett: No, I only just turned the power on
 
[16:38] Kurt: Is any of it on?
 
[16:37] Violet: That's not really surprising when it said 'Radio Transmissions' on the door, is it?
 
[16:37] Scarlett: Found the power switch. This place is full of electrical equipment, that sort of stuff
 
[16:36] Violet: We're heading into the room south of the unloading bay
 
[16:34] Kurt: 1732... that's 5BC then
 
[16:34] Violet: It's commemorating the opening of the lab in February 1732. According to this, the Master of the Academy, Vianne Adamek, was present
 
[16:33] Violet: There's a plaque on the corridor wall
 
[16:32] Scarlett: We're going into the corridor, the unloading bay is boring
 
[16:30] Violet: Says 'First mass material shipment - Viendenbourg September 1736'
 
[16:29] Violet: Some heavy duty empty boxes here, checking the labels
 
[16:27] Violet: Nothing terribly interesting here, it's all mostly empty
 
[16:25] Kurt: Tagged first room as Unloading bay
 
[16:23] Scarlett: Looks like an unloading bay or something, I guess
 
[16:22] Scarlett: I found a power switch for the first room, just turned it on!
 
[16:21] Kurt: I got the plans from the lab's computer systems, which, by the way, are very odd. Hundreds of years old, but still very sophisticated in some ways
 
[16:21] Kurt: I've set up a display so you can see which areas have been explored and which have power
 
[16:20] Kurt: By the way, for everyone watching on Earth, you can see the plan of the lab by clicking on 'Level 1'
 
[16:19] Violet: It's pretty dark inside, we're using our torches. Scarlett's going to look for some power switch or something. The place must have power if the control panel's still working, and the wall mechanism
 
[16:19] Kurt: So what's happening now?

This is the transcript of what was seen to occur on Hobbs Island, in the Lancewood Archipelago. Violet and Scarlett went on a random hunt here, looking for clues from Anthony Granier. When they arrived, they discovered some sort of bunker, which had previously gone under the guise of a lighthouse. They started to need some help, so contacted Kurt, who setup a chat interface and viewer.

The dates discovered during these events can be seen in relation to each other and PPC general history in the Timeline.

THURSDAY, 21-SEP-06

On Thursday, 21 September 2006 (269 PXC), Violet and Scarlett explored Level one of the bunker. They discovered it was a laboratory, self-sufficient in power from an undetermined source. The laboratory includes military-style barracks with bunks and a mess hall. One of the dishes served in the dining room was tansy pudding, an abortificant.

The lab opened in February 1732 (5 BC, PXC). Master Adamek was present for the opening. In 1733, the lab received a new "anti-air battery", which Kurt guessed is for a surface-to-air missle. We also learned that in December 1736, Viehattle ended the cease-fire and declared war on Perplex City.

FRIDAY, 22-SEP-06

Level two of the labs was explored on Friday, 22 September 2006. Two pressurized labs were discovered, with equipment such as a Class 5A Laser and a Magnetic Micromanipulator. Each lab had an observation room attached.

The lab's purpose appears to be for a Material Research & Control project, experimenting on a 'General Purpose Self-Contained Material System (Cubic)' -- aka, the Receda Cube. Findings suggest the experiments wer trying to acheive a max coherence time to extend its capabilities:

12 March 1732 - max coherence 0.2s acheived
2 June 1732 - June 2nd 1732 - max coherence to 1.3s, but power spikes. Change silicon doping?
late 1732 - programming breakthrough, coherence extended to 10s

An accident occurred in December 1736, leading to the deaths of Drs. Kennard and Cook. A letter from Adamek to Edwina Mountling states that Anthony Granier with be appointed the Government Liason for the lab.

Violet discovered that the elevator has two doors, leading to a second set of rooms for level 2. With this discovery, we learned that the lab's floorplans mimic the design of the 3P symbol.

Violet, Scarlett, and Kurt all remark that it's weird no one's found the lab before this; the Kiteway sisters plan to question the islanders about this.
