Derek did seem to have another plan in mind so she asked “are you talking about the hotel or the island in general?” She did have a possible idea as she continued “the university should have that information but when you have volcanos you generally have basalt rocks for starters”. She hadn’t long enough to get all the details but now she’d have the time to find out a lot more. This island even had dense forests and mountains. Derek Tenpenny |

"Right now I am thinking the island in general but if this turns into anything start with one thing at a time. I have never been good at big picture but right now trying to see it even if it is too big to get into frame at time." Xanthe Wingard |

"I could also put in a request to ARI for geology reports of the island as well as checking with the university" Xanthe suggested hearing what Derek had to say. "I agree we should deal with one thing at a time and you couldn't cover all of the island in only one documentary. How about starting with the island of ashes? Then work our way beyond that to see what's out there". That would still deal with one mystery at a time. Derek Tenpenny |

"That's the place with the volcano," he said. "Yeah that might be good as long as I make sure to gather up the proper gear the last thing I want to do is get burned or even be there when it is active." Reports were a good idea. "I forget that this place has a library, it seems massive which is good because it contains a lot of information." Xanthe Wingard |

“I’ll find out if you need special gear or not. We can’t really go till you get all your equipment so let me make some calls and get back to you” Xanthe replied. They worked as a team in the past and would now. She’d also need to get the basic information from ARI that would start this story off. So once they parted Xanthe called Derek a few hours later from the cafe in ARI. She had a photocopy of documents to show him. Derek Tenpenny |

Derek had spent a good bit of his time looking around and more than that trying to get his camera here as soon as possible. He was a little lost but eventually found his way to the cafe. "Is the food good here?" he asked. "I am assuming so but one can never tell." Xanthe Wingard |

“The menu looks good. I just got a coffee though” Xanthe replied. Then showed Derek these geological and topology maps. These were pre Ashford maps. The date printed on them along with some Spanish sounding names of landmarks confirmed that. So these colour photocopies could help Derek out. “Here is the old town, the fishing village to the east of that and also Browns bay on the south of the island. The US base is near them” she said pointing these out but it was only recently that new villages were being built and other locations were being developed. “There’s the volcano. Now active’ she added. Derek Tenpenny |

He ordered a bagel and a small coffee as he looked over the maps. This place had been a place before it became what they knew now which was fine because that was everything. "It looks so different, but it does seem like the volcano always existed even in some smaller form." He paused at the word active but it was a risk in the job. "That's where I am going next in that case." Xanthe Wingard |

Building a city right next to an older settlement wasn't unknown. The new city had actually grown from a new town over time and now fully absorbed the old town it used to be neighbours to. However seeing the way things used to be was always informative. "So we start with the volcano. I did phone them up and all you'll need is good boots to explore it; nothing more specialised than that" Xanthe replied. The fact it was active didn't bother her though it was also a first for her. "I'm ready to go when you are". Derek Tenpenny |

"Alright that sounds doable and like it won't hurt us too much. A good pair of boots have never stirred me wrong before in my life anyway and as long as it does not do anything funny it should turn out to be a nice little side trip." Xanthe Wingard |

Xanthe considered the possible dangers. Then replied “if the volcano is likely to erupt they won’t let us near it so we should be fine. Even it it’s smoking it’ll be fine”. So it would be a trip for another day but they would be prepared. When it did happen she’d a map of the area and it was a nice day on the island of Ashes. Derek Tenpenny(New thread time?) |
