Wheelhouse

"What could possibly cause a group of men to go stark raving mad?" Claudia wonders out loud.

William takes away your empty plate. "Come with me."

The three of you walk forward along the canted deck. A door opens on a gangway leading sharply up. You emerge in a wide glass room flooded with sunshine.

You and Claudia stare in amazement. Windows in all directions look out over a dazzling panorama of ice. Straight ahead, a dark rock face is crisscrossed with ice jammed into its cracks by the storm.

William pays the view no mind. He flips switches and talks into a handset, and very soon a new voice fills the wheelhouse.
