You are in the room of the ancient mariner. There is a sturdy bamboo bunk here with a thin, straw mattress, a rather well constructed bamboo telescope, a rudimentary transceiver jury-rigged from found items, and a faded journal filled with mad scribblings, incomprehensible diagrams, and indecipherable equations. On the bed are the tattered remains of what appears to have been some kind of uniform - only the letters IASA can be clearly made out. There is an opening to the west.
