BEGINNINGS
Earlier today, Admiral Nelson, subbing (yes, this can be a pun if you like) for Captain Nelson-Crane and accompanied by a
colleague, crewmen, the mayor, and volunteers, arrived at ‘point zero’, (Land’s End Pub) to begin the first
of a series of investigative hikes around Loch Ness in search of evidence for Mr. Angus McDonald’s kelpie.
Admiral Nelson made frequent stops, however, before arriving, in order to snap pictures and take notes of interest.
Hikers were divided up into groups, and Nelson requested Mr. McDonald and the mayor (also a volunteer) to be on his team.
Nelson, when asked how Captain Nelson-Crane was feeling after his bout of food poisoning, the admiral said that Seaview’s
chief medical officer (physician) would not clear the captain for any strenuous physical activity today.
Today's hike, however, was halted after a few hours, upon the discovery of an ancient burial site. It is uncertain when the
hike will be allowed to resume near the area.
Nelson Reflective
"Yes, we’re disappointed about the delay, however, this skeleton, most likely a Viking, was once a living, breathing
human being like us. It makes one ponder. We're born, we live, we die, and in time, we’re forgotten. I can only hope
that experts will be able to glean a little more information about this girl and bring her back to life, at least historically
speaking."
