4-012: Aboard Snark 416 – Oliver’s Cabin

fyi, I’m using the rolls you made earlier as I need them.

The metal box contains eight smaller notebooks of various sizes.  Some of the books show signs of ageing.  The pages show a variety of different sorts of pen marks, although they do all seem to be in the same hand.  Oliver surmises that these books have been written in sporadically over a long period of time, with occasional bursts of frequent use and then ignored for some time.

One of the older books seems to have some notes in it regarding setting up the hunting lodge, with comments such as, “Turret defenses, int + ext.  4 inside?  Use mines?  Need supplier.”  There are also more mundane calculations such as how much power will be needed per dekacycle and how much can be extracted from a solar array on Pristine at the hunting lodge’s latitude.  On one page the words “Entertainment Room!!!” are written with double underlining.

One older notebook seems largely devoted to cryptographic scribblings, Oliver is just getting into it when it is time to go to the Control Room.
