Tess, Emmsi, Moanna and I walked up onto the docking bay of the mysterious Salt Station.
We saw the two ships docked there.

The Traveller - the ship my co-worker travelled here on. I wondered if he was still onboard or in the station.

The Pirate Ship - very large ship. Captain Arvin had said that this ship belonged to the infamous piarate, captain Korg. But Korg was beleived to be dead. Was Captain Arvin telling us the truth?

We rushed up to the main doors of Salt Station. A while ago these doors had suddenly closed and locked, trapping our friends inside. We tried to prise the doors open but they would not move. They were locked too tightly.

"Alright then," I said, "the only thing we can do now is check out those two ships. Maybe there will be some answers onboard one of them."

As I spoke I looked at Moanna. Why she was with us I don't know. We still didn't know who she was or where she came from. That would be another thing I was determined to find out. However right now it was very cold on the dokcing bay and the sea was begining to splash over the sides, making us wet.

"Which ship shall we explore first?" I asked the three women with me.

"I say the Traveller, who knows what may be on the pirate ship, or how long it has been here, at least we know that the Traveller shouldn't have been here too long. Do you agree?"

I awaited a reply from the others.

"I agree," I said quickly to Emmsi - after all, this was the ship my co-worker had come here on and was probably the only chance I would have to get away from The Kingston and return to England!

"Let us check out the Traveller first," I continued. We walked away from the main door towards the small white ship with the large mast. However, as we approached it we heard noises from inside... someone was on the ship...

I readied my knife - it seemed I was doing this a lot lately.

I realsied that Moanna was behind me and I stepped back, allowing her to go in front of me. I didn't trust this woman and wanted to keep an eye on her.

"Perhaps the person onboard is a crew member here at the station," I said, "they might know how to open the main doors for us to help out the captain and the others!"

Slowly we climbed onboard the small white ship... ready for anything...

I took the three women out onto the docking bay and around a hidden corner. There in the metal wall was a handle. A door handle!

"I found this some weeks ago," I said to the women, "it leads into the control centre!"

I was nervous as I opened the door. I wondered what we would meet inside...
