    Terra Incognita, Part 3

    Despite the odds, 487 dazed and hungry survivors managed to clamber upon the jagged rocks on the narrow islands. Without food and without supplies, their doom seemed imminent. Many were driven to greater despair to realize that their ships did not have any feline crew or passengers, so there were not natural leaders. With no direct connection to the authority of the Supreme Wirdle, these humanoids were on their own – for the very first time. Could they survive without her?

    Three nearby islets connected by shallow rocky straits housed all of the survivors. Brave ones challenged the watery pinnacles at low tide and visited all three groups – searching for food and to develop plans. The greatest dismay was that nothing edible grew on these spits of land – and no supplies had washed up on the shore from the ships. Something had to give. A few people began to look at some of the younger, juicier crew members and think unprecedented thoughts. They were probably only a bottle of sauce away from a barbecue in the true sense of the word. This kind of Donner  Party situation would be a big blot on the pristine history of Schulmania. But, desperate times do call for desperate measures. Before checking survivors for tenderness, someone needed to be placed in charge and make some decisions. Jonas Grumby went down with the ship, as did most of the ships’ officers. A few shiphands survived, but none of the leaders. Into this power vacuum stepped John Frink.

    Professor Wile E. Coyote

    Frink is by far the smartest survivor. He has an IQ of 204 and 7 Ph.D. degrees. He has been a clever inventor, and has the potential to invent many other clever things. He may just know a way to use what salvage materials the survivors have to escape the island. Or, he may develop some great recipes for survivor stew. It could go either way.

    Frink has real potential to change the future. Of course, he also could make some good steaks.

    Frink addressed the assembled survivors and began to explain his plan: “Step away foolish amateurs, just keep back, keep out of it the role is mine with the acting and the groupies and the "Luke! Luke! Save me!" with light saber and vwingg-- vwingg—vwinnnnnnnnng” He continued, after some puzzled looks, to explain “…these should give you the grounding you'll need in thermodynamics, hypermathematics, and of course microcalifragilistics. I am presently triangulating the vectors and compressing the data down in order to express it as a function of my hand...” He paused, disturbed. Apparently, one hungry audience member was sprinkling his arm with salt and pepper. That glazed look in his eyes was not boredom… it was hunger! This was definitely not good.

    Frink was not the best public speaker, but he did manage to convince that hungry young man to listen to the suggestions before seasoning him for supper. Reluctantly, Hannibal sat down and listened intently. Frink restarted his speech, careful not to pause between sentences. After all, if he stopped for long, Hannibal would be back with his spices – and he might not be stopped the next time. Frink’s proposal was to use the jagged rocks to chop down trees. Then, use branches to lash them together to make rafts. Then, they could float over to the land they saw in the distance. It was obviously a tall mountain. But, was it another island or land itself? Either way, Frink argued, it beat waiting for a slow death where they were.

    After a long and heated debate, Frink’s idea was approved. People started gathering sharp rocks to start clearing down trees to make rafts. Their hope: to escape to safety before they die of starvation. The race was on – float to the mountain on the horizon and hope it provided food – before they all died of starvation and exposure.

    The kids gathered many a sharp rock. Then, it was time to chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. And chop. Soon, they had cleared nearly every three from the rocky islands. Time to build the rafts had come at last!

    Using the last of their strength, the survivors finished assembling 41 rafts. They shoved off, heading toward the rising sun, hoping that the new day would bring them their long-awaited salvation.

    Sailing for hours, the rafts seemed to have made little progress. By mid afternoon, the mountain seemed closer and the current sped them onward. Late in the afternoon, the first of the rafts reached dry land. By evening, all 41 rafts had arrived safely. The survivors, exhausted and hungry, collapsed and slept – feeling confident food and shelter were not much farther away.

    I think I know what the survivors are thinking!

    Survivor A: Where's the Supreme Wirdle when you need her?
    Survivor B: I wonder If we;ll make it to the mountain
    Survivor C: I'm just gonna keep this slice of ham to myself... they won't notice. Right?
    Survivor D: Why is The Schulmanator doing this to us?
    Survivor E: Quiet fool! You're taking away the immersiveness of this CJ! You don't want him to make it worse!
    Survivor D: How did you know what I was thinking?
    Survivor C: I think my secret ham isn't so secret anymore.. I'll just throw it off the raft.
    All except for Survivor C: Don't!

    I pick option A. Because I never heard the one from Destiny's Child before. "I will survive" is the coolest song I know of. Keep the work up and rescue those poor souls soon Schulman.

    I choose option A! P.S, I seriously hope that mountain doesn't have to do with giant spiders!*
