I honestly thought I'd have more than
just a placeholder here, folks.
But after the busy week I've had, a
little progress in this is better than none, I guess.
What I thought I'd do here is sort of a
“World Tour” thing, where I'd just sail around on the boat,
stopping at whatever towns I needed to until I got back to Shaia's
Lab #3, since I was pretty sure of where that was in relation to
Herat, and I'm probably need some extra levels soon anyway.
As it turns out, when I finally got
there, our good professor has gone running off again. It seems his
good buddy Lou, who we met in Marse, wound up getting caught by
pirates even after we saved him, so Shaia took matters into his own
hands. This puts a few ideas into my head, and it could well be any
of them, if not a combination thereof.
The first thought is that I may have
screwed this puppy up somehow. I've been known to do that, after
all. If that's the case, I may have to quit the game as of next
issue, regardless of equipment issues.
Another idea is that I didn't get all
the Alumina I needed before, and this is just the game's way of
telling me that. Somehow, though, I kind of doubt that, for the next
reason.
The last reason is that maybe this is
just how the plot advances when I've got all the Alumina I need to
progress. That is, after all, how games like this had worked for a
long time, both before and after this game. I'm really hoping that
this is what it turns out to be, and that I'm just being paranoid.
But since this is a good place to stop
for now, I think that's what I'll do, and pick this up next time, in
Issue #30: North
By Northwest, since that's where the lab assistant said Shaia and
Lou are, trying to escape from the pirates in the Marse area.
