Well, now that we are on the ship, I propose we go off the rails! Err...more off the rails?

Now that we have a book, we should investigate around the Pizza hut. Might be something interesting there.

I think you're a turn behind. The party is on their way to the entity in Gamelon.

Hmm... an idea on how to proceed with this is forming in my mind. I may or may not have to abandon it, but I'll ruminate on it for a while...

EDIT:

I think the main problem is that I stopped having ideas.

Also, the final battle will involve Theodore Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt? I must admit, if he's our enemy, we stand no chance!

Then again, what climatic battle isn't better with Theodore Roosevelt?

...we would charge up the hill with wild abandon.  And the hill would be in Africa on our hunting expedition to the New Panama Canal.  Oh, and we'd rock out as we'd have possibly the coolest president ever on our side.

Oh, and I'm gone this weekend too (including Friday instead of Monday  this time).

With. Abraham Lincoln and Jesus too.

Yeah, pretty much just the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Armageddon and Catnarok as well.

EDIT:

What I really need is a way to animate the battles... Hurmmm...

There's nothing wrong with it. It just got knocked out of the sky.

That happens a lot with TOAST vehicles.

I would have thought the spark sounds, the wooshing, the hissing, and the powering down implied something was slightly off...

Send probes out of the ship to explore our new surroundings thoroughly.
