(Ciaran watches in a state of total befuddlement as the Monsignor seems to be led off as if under guard.) Ciaran concludes that perhaps Diego is not feeling well and Mr. Badger be simply accompanying him to his room.

(Ciaran tears off a small piece of notebook paper, balls it up a bit, puts it in his mouth and gets it good and wet. Takes the spitball out and quickly throws it) SPLAT! (spitball hits its target -- the back of Hurricane's head) (Ciaran quickly opens his library book and pretends to read)

therapeutic

(from up in the nest, Ciaran watches the goings and comings of the crew, noting an excitement about Armand and Diego) Hmmm, me thinks this could be a good sign about our Captain.

Magnificent resource. Thanks, Tempest.

Oh, Hitman, research this, man! What an interesting bit of family history if it is true. There should be records available as to the crew of the Californian. The Titanic used both the CQD and SOS distress calls. The first time that a ship used the SOS call for help was in 1909 off of Cape Hatteras, when the SS Arapahoe used it, the call being picked up by the Hatteras station. Here's a link to some info about SOS: SOS

(rising early to begin his shift in the nest, Ciaran stops smartly by the galley. Upon leaving, he carries two mugs of hot coffee and a bit of bread and fruit. He stops by the Surgery Ward and gently raps on the door. Armand opens it a wee bit.) Pardon moi, Armand. Je vous offre et la docteur ce petit dejeuner. (Armand smiles and takes the breakfast.) "Merci, Ciaran". (Ciaran nods and heads to his post.)
