Arrival
Damn, damn, damn!
I know, I know, it'ss not ladylike to cursse. But then, it'ss hardly gentlemanly to drag me hear to fight a war for you when I'm needed to fly the Sssophronia! She can't ssail without an alchemisst to perform the chemical wedding! I have to get back to Jack!
Thiss place reminds me too much of the Royal Xenological Insstitute. It'ss sso ssterile. And there'ss no esscape from this one; not with that wall and thiss thing on my wrisst. Ssome sort of reaction, like lightning...

I can write into this thing instead of speaking? That's useful, at least. Does anyone know how to get home? Jack really does need me on the Sophronia. I wasn't joking when I said she can't sail without an alchemist - it's impossible to conduct the chemical wedding without training, and I'm the only one there who has it. Jack can't very well hire a British alchemist on to sail the ship, can he? We may not be pirates anymore, but I don't think the Empire will be too kindly disposed towards us.
Oh, well, I suppose there are worse places they could be stranded waiting for me than Larklight. They'll be comfortable, at least. I just wish I could get a message to them, to let them know where I am. Come to that, where is this place? Is it on Earth somewhere? The sky's certainly blue enough...
... Has anyone seen a creature something like a human and something like a blue lizard, with spines on their head and a clubbed tail? I just thought I'd ask.
