I believe that the government will heed my petition to build a galley. Who would like to brave the seas with me and jdjdjd, the master explorer! Join at the waterfront section of Apolyton, next to Bob's Bait Shop and the Banana Crab Seafood Diner.

Oh, I forgot to mention, pay is one banana bunch per day, and we'll be giving the very best bananas, straight from my banana plantation at Banana HQ, the oldest one in Apolytonia!

If they heed the request, I will join. I always wanted to see the world, and I don't get seasick.

Your pay will be given to you at the conclusion of the expedition. In the event of your death, your family will be duly coompensated.

I am glad that I am able to help jdjdjd by providing some of my extensive finances for his journeys.

Currently in our newest city, Tassagrad, I am on the fringe, but I am also safe. Likewise I plan to travel with the explorers, but safely; I will most likely travel with the first settler group.

ship!!!?? galley???!!!

I thought we were going to call the floatation device, xezolphyna, like I came up with, this whole trip is starting out on the wrong foot. Ship, galley they don't even sound like floatation devices....

hmmm....

I'm not so sure about this Young Skywalker, but the force is strong in you....and I need to get out of this darn jungle.

The Dark Lord thinks that He shall come with you mortals. He has not had much action in the last few weeks...foolishly, He missed the turnchat to-day... so He shall go explore if a galley is constructed. Even though He does get a little seasick...

Heh, a raft? You wouldn't need a crew for that.
Only in a galley would I be able to work to my fullest potential! And it would cut the time of our journey by years, I'm sure.

Well.... I have already joined the army, *sigh* but I guess Uncle Uber won't get to mad if I ditch for awhile and try my skills at the sails of a ship, instead of the lever of a siege engine. Count me in!

We should vote on it. I say it should be of the Banana- class of vessels. And a possible name could be "Welcome to the Jungle, B1tch!". Just an idea.... but I say we work on this a little more....

Actually I enlisted. But Kaptain Krux I'm sure will agree that our navy is under-manned. He would willing me transfer me if need be. I wasn't the best of soldiers anyway .... that was obviously appearant after I poked out my left eye with my sword at boot camp... the eye-patch thing really works for me though. Maybe I can start some kind of seaman trend? You think? Nah, who am I kidding....

Were building a galley and settler right now.

But a few things must be decided like how many ships you need to be safe from drowning and what you want to take with you unit wise to defend the settler.

Do we have any other ideas to name the xezolphyna yet ? I thought about the "Windwalker", how does it sound ?
(btw, I'm opposed having primitive xezolphynas called "banana-class". I think such a distinction should go to our ultimate weaponry)

Now the military!!?? Good Banana Skywalker, what have you gotten me in to. I did not expect such fanfare.

I thought we would have a good solid floatation device, a few good men, supplies, you, the monkeys , Dog and me.

Edrix, Kring, Dark Lord, and maybe Kramerman, but only if he leaves the military and disowns his uncle. Oh and I like Shiber, a man afraid of death is the man I want to be next to in a crisis, its the man not afraid of death that'll get you killed.

Ninot can christen the boat, oops typo, I meant float, hmmm,
actually leave it as boat (a cross between Banana and float, I like it!).

For the rest of time, let the books show that Boat is a cross between banana and float, and created by the Apolytonian Jdjdjd.

Be carefull friends. I hear tells of strange sea beasts. Fish the size of houses, willing to swallow a Banana Foatation device in one gulp. Boat... this term will take getting some use to. But if we are to construct more of these items, a good simple term is usefull. I am afraid that I cannnot go at this time my friends. Kitty and I shall be watching Uber and the army crush the heathonistic americans to the north. We have taken a vow that if uber commits any war crimes - that news of them shall reach our public. Uber is wise and honerable, so let us hope that he doesn't take this dark path.

Fare the well friends. Send reports. I shall do my best to ogranize resupply as possible.

No problem mate, I got me a satellite modem at a bargain price and I'll be sending you Emails from the galley from time to time with my trusty PDA.
Oh wait, we haven't discovered computers yet. Nor space flight. Well, at least we have writing, so I guess I'll write you letters and put them in empty bottles and hope they sail back to coast and that you find them... Talk about packet loss. We're gonna have to carry a lot of bottles with us.

Jdjdjd - I didn't say anything about the military (at least I don't think that I did). I believe that this will be handled through Imperial Expansion.

Shiber - sure, bring as many as you want. We can have some of that delicious French wine in them, and as we drink it, use the bottles to send the letters back in.

It is the Sea South of Apoltyon Village. Some refer to it as Uber Island, we have yet to know for sure if there is land there, as it is beyond human site from the Southern Coast.

We will be facing much unknown, and we must hope that this Boat holds up, but there is still much to plan, and we will not leave for several days at least.

There is talk of using messages in a bottle, but we leave too much to chance. I have been given several birds by UnOrthoDox, they are know as "carrier pidgeons", birds he has trained to deliver messages back and forth. We will try using these messenger birds.

The boat must also be completed, we need to test that before setting off on our journey. I suggest the crew get plenty of rest, excercise, and nourishment, it will be needed.

Skywalker, be wary of the deals you make, we venture for the benefit of our civilization, to find what is beyond the horizon to our south and to see if it is land that will benefit this great nation. We are not out for personal glory, or the glory of any governmental agency. You may do what you feel necessary, but keep your wits about you and please consult me when you are unsure. Paranioa sometimes can save your life.
