Log Deputy: Void
Participating Characters: Banzu, Isabela, Yuuna, Kyoko
Plot Description: Exploring the Archipelago for scientific knowledge but mainly things that Banzu can make money off of.
Warnings/Notes: No warnings yet, will add if there are.

The rumble of Pathfinder's engines shifted as Banzu cut the throttle and reduced speed, calling to the person on lookout duty to watch for underwater rocks now that they were close to the Archipelago. They had made much better time than the first group to come this way, but interactions with the local Pokémon were a mixed bag; some fled in terror at the strange noisy object barreling along, some took it upon themselves to rid the seas of this monstrosity, and some just watched them go by in curiosity or confusion. Fortunately their speed left most pursuers exhausted in their wake before long, but they were certainly annoying to deal with in the time that they shared together, and Banzu was less than delighted about the new gouge in the railing. Still, they had made it, and Pathfinder carried enough supplies that they wouldn't need to return for a while if they didn't want to, along with a small amount of cargo tied down in the center of the forward deck.

"Okay," Banzu called out from the wheelhouse once they'd made it closer, "I'm gonna keep the islands on our right as we circle 'em. Holler if anything catches your eye, but keep watching for rocks and hostiles."

Isabela looks around. It's harder to get her bearings when she wasn't at the helm with her own instruments, but...

"There should be an atoll off to the southwest of here. It should give enough cover we'd avoid casual detection, though I'm not sure how well it'll work with a ship this size. I can't tell you about the bad guys, since they weren't a group I recognized."

She paces a bit, thinking. Things had changed since she left...or maybe she hadn't looked around hard enough before being chased off.

"The fire's an ancient trick, really. There's chemicals that will burn even if you smother them with water, which makes them popular with sailors with a chip on their shoulders. The only way to get rid of the fire is to get rid of the fuel, hence, pushing the whole mess off. Something that could contain the flames like a steel plate or something would work, too, but you still couldn't smother it."

Whoops! Guess I'm up and missed it!

"Probably best we stop there then," Yuuna adds. "We can figure a way to hide it and use it as a staging area, I guess. It's better than being out on open water."
