*the diamond-plate hatch adjacent to the 'Slap-On' rollaway steel punch cabinet slides noiselessly to one side...a grimy hand emerges and reaches for the Shackleton compartment. Sliding open the drawer, the hand removes the half-full bottle of Mildenhall rum and returns beneath deck-level.*
"I'll be with you all shortly...er...Happy New Year !

"!!Capting Porridge Sir !!"
*Alec attempts to stand and smacks his head on one of the massive oak beams which support the generator room floor*
*pausing briefly to salute smartly...
...alec loses what little consciousness he had after the mildenhall rum and sinks to his knees...his hands splay into the muck that collects in the bilges of this magnificent vessel...*
"Wait...What's this ?? "
*Switches on the posh LED flashlight that the little Triciansgave him for Christmas*
"Oh WOW! it's my Feeler gauges...I dropped them down here years ago and i've been searching for them ever since and...hang on...there's more stuff down here...An unopened bottle of Tolly Cobbold! ...and a baggie of what appears to be Catnip...the ships cat will be happy tonight."
"I must remember to change my overalls before i go up on deck "
