The heat in this wasteland clings to us. Even through the night. I do believe it to be as big of an obstacle as any other we could come up against. 

I asked to take a look at Rumble’s map. And there we saw a haze floating in the area indicated immediately to our front with here and there some bright red spots. There are no apparent easy ways around it. And another check with Noralei’s compass shows we need to continue on our present course. 

I asked Dunfallon to check out those red patches. He returned in short order with a fantastic report of a swirling mass of fire. And more disturbing, as he closed on it, it moved towards him. 

He thinks that with the aid of Merlin’s map we should have no problem navigating through these new obstacles.

Day Three Hundred Twenty Six #DiaryoftheEndoftheWorld

It took the better part of this day to clear the wide-ranging obstacle and we are now back on a southerly course.

Elijah tells me that the crew is quite upset over the recent developments. They have taken to blaming the missing government official (Stan) for everything. And avoid his former cabin like the plague.

The Purser caught an earful and passed their objections on to the Captain. I accompanied him when he went forward to see things for himself and to calm his men. He became alarmed when he could not open the cabin in question. He sent for his machinist mate to evaluate the problem.

At that point I felt I was in the way and left.
