Brief stopover in Reykjavik - at my insistence. Capt. Ferrence is eager to complete our deal & drop me at my destination - his crew is even more eager to be rid of me. But I had to take my chance meeting the man who helped Lutwidge reach his "Wonderland." Apparently this story gave Lutwidge the final key to the location of Rapture. Ivory Pawn provided me with a tape - an intercept recorded that fateful night by the Icelandic Coast Guard. But I remain more confused than ever. Five steps to Rapture??? What do they signify?

  • Brief stopover in Reykjavik - at my insistence. Capt. Ferrence is eager to complete our deal & drop me at my destination - his crew is even more eager to be rid of me. But I had to take my chance meeting the man who helped Lutwidge reach his "Wonderland." The Ivory Pawn was a grim old sailor - face scarred with age, he regarded me with an impassive squint as he tottered down the planks. He held a sign of recognition - a chesspiece carved from whalebone. I followed him to an old fisherman's shack, barely warmed by a black iron stove. He toasted me with a beer chilled in a crab cage. Then he told me what he knew. Lutwidge arrive in 1958 towards the end of the first conflicts in Iceland's "Cod War" with England - a battle over fishing rights. Lutwidge had latched onto the story of an English trawler that had gotten into a stand-off with an Icelandic naval vessel. Fortunately for the English fishermen, the HMS Russell rolled in to save the day while the trawler fled into international waters. Rumor had it that it lost its bearings, radioing back a story of an alarming encounter with a light- house miles from any land! The trawler got lucky again - it nearly capsized as it reversed course but it limped back home - the tale of its ghostly encounter forgotten in the shadow of its more historic role. Apparently this story gave Lutwidge the final key to the location of Rapture. Ivory Pawn provided me with a tape - an intercept recorded that fateful night by the Icelandic Coast Guard. Combined with Capt. Ferrence's encyclopedic knowledge of military history - the tape also gave me the final clues to reveal the next - and last - layer of OOL's puzzle box. But I remain more confused than ever. Five steps to Rapture??? What do they signify?
