Captain DeRainault confidently crossed through the mist, quickly looking around to orient herself with the low buindings of the map room before continuing onward. Based on her recollection of the route back to the HMS Justice, she and Habakkuk would need to travel a cable to the west, and then south, over the next wall of mist.

Or, perhaps not. From where she stood, in the sunshine of a grassy area outside a set of wrought iron gates, it appeared this was *not* the map room any longer. The world must have changed itself again, just in the short time that she and the Doctor had spent at the public house.

This time, the Captain could not contain the curse that rose to her lips, and seeing that it was only Habbakuk about, (who was used to the salty language of sailors) saw no reason to contain it. Indeed, standing a respectful distance back, he shook his head in sympathy - he had rarely seen the Captain this annoyed since she had to take an entire Spanish shore battery with nothing more than five sailors, a parrot, a pully mechanism, and a bunch of bananas. Devilsh slipperly, was a properly used banana skin.

When she stopped to take a breath, DeRainault found she felt much better. "Well, there's nothing for it. Come along, Habbakuk, we must be back to the inn."
