==The Quest for the Seal of Khemet – Chapter 3 – Going to East==
((Posted by Aizek Tchailenov on July 7, 2010))
Journal entry by A. Typist – Secretary of Capt. Aizek Tchailenov of the ACS – Commander Asrael.
In the city, whispers say that a strange and antique object had been founded beneath the Academy of Industry, when the new academy was built after the old academy was destroyed on unknown circumstances and the district beign closed until a few years ago. Apparently the strange object was placed on the basement of the new academy where it was found when the rubbles were cleaned up.
It is said that the object is as old as some of the oldest parts of the wall, dating back to the early years of the Old Empire. Its existence seemed to be classified by the babbagian government, until it was placed back on the place it was discovered by the curator of the academy after a long meeting with the mayor. Or so was what I heard. So the captain could be right; New Babbage could be the starting point of our journey.
On that very same night, right after the last loads of supply had been placed on board of the ship, he arrived at the docks. He said nothing, not a word of where he had been, but for the direction he had left that morning, the whispers on the market, my conclusion could be only one; The watergrid, beneath the city.
Beneath his arm a large package wrapped in a piece of leather. I knew on that moment he had done it. I knew it on my heart, that volume was another piece of the puzzle. As the captin got on the ship, he imparted one order only. "Set course to east immediatelly!!" and called me aside and told me "keep a sharp ear Mr Typist, we’re beign followed", as he indicated a shadow moving near the docks…
Mr. Chorster was behind us, and with our course only one destination was possible, the imperial city of Steeltopia.
