Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Akirapryde]

Alice stood there for a moment thinking about Eric's request before speaking, "no I can't produce any maps. We need raw data that wont be compromised by what could be part of the trick. We need this data to be as pure and free from tainting as possible." On that note she turned and searched the room.

She walked over to a glass medical cabinet and opened it. She searched the cabinet tossing boxes of medical supplies down on to the table below the cabinet. She pulled out a package of medical tubing, a box of gauze, and a surgical knife. A short search of the table allowed her to discover a marker. She opened up the box and laid out a number of gauze side by side. She pulled the tubing and cut it to length of the entire line of the gauze. Next she mark the tubing for each gauze. This gave her a tubing cut to length and marked like a ruler. She repeated the steps for a second tube.

She took both tubes to Eric, "Each of these are marked at five centimeters. This should give us a very good means to making accurate measurements. Its not prefect, but it will be more than enough for me to get the calculations."

She turned to Adrian, "but we still need to know if the ship is doing what we were told. We need those charts that the ship has in its navigational system."

She turned to Eric and waited for feedback on her idea.
