“Hi! Joan! Are you all ready for another trip to the Isle of Colossus?” asks Zig, phoning Joan at work in her museum on Wednesday morning.
“Hi Zig, yeah. I love visiting that Island,” replies Joan.
“And on this visit, we know we’ll be looking for a burial chamber, not a palace!” she adds before chuckling.
“Ha! Yeah!” agrees Zig before joining Joan’s chuckle. “Finding Oletta in what we thought was a palace but ended up being a burial chamber was a bit of a surprise!” she adds.
“Yeah! Thank goodness Ah Lam was with us!” says Joan. “Also, I’ve spoken to Silence this week, and Ah Lam, Tony, Felix and the other guys will be on the Island before we arrive. So, it’ll be the same team together again,”
“Cool!” replies Zig. “I enjoyed working with those guys,”
“Me too!” agrees Joan. “Right, I have to go. Ray is travelling to pick me up this afternoon to bring me to London. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of the team soon. Bye for now!”
Zig continues her working day at Chuckle Technologies Ltd with Max, Steve, and the guys as they finalise the details of their impending trip to the Isle of Colossus to look for a burial chamber.
“Do you think the chamber we’ll be looking for will be the same as Oletta’s burial chamber?” asks Max Thursday afternoon during a meeting in Steve’s office with Joan, Ray, Zig, and the rest of the team, including all four ZandaBots.
“Well! Yeah!” replies Steve. “I don't see why it would be any different?” he continues.
“I agree!” says Joan. “BUT! Please remember that we are researching the Isle of Colossus and what turned out to be a Cyborg burial chamber, so normal rules don't apply. We could find something completely unexpected!” she adds.
“This is going to be so cool!” says Nari.
“Agreed!” replies Albertina. “I wish we Bots were going to the Island with you,”
“That day might not be that far away?” replies Steve, looking toward the ZandaBots.
“Nice!” mutters Nazz.
“Now that would be cool!” adds Nero.
Steve and his team continue their working week. They finish on Friday afternoon with a team meal before heading to their hotel to spend the night together, as they have an early morning flight, marking the start of their journey to the Isle of Colossus.
After all their air travel, sea travel and climbing the steps from Dead Mans Shrine cave, Steve and his team step out into the warmth and sunshine of the Isle of Colossus.
“Come on, guys!” says Steve, looking around his excited group. “Let’s get to the base camp to meet Ari, Felix, Anton and the guys,” he continues before starting the hike.
The team soon walks into the base camp, where Tony and Ah Lam greet them, and their teammates join them.
After Steve and the guys settle into their tents and unpack their gear, they enjoy an afternoon of relaxation in the sun to prepare for their next day’s planned hike toward the Zerrabus Lake volcano.
“Has Silence given any of you guys any data concerning this trip?” asks Joan over breakfast the following day, looking toward Anton and the resident team.
“Not much!” replies Layla. “We’ll share all our data with you after breakfast!” she adds.
“What about you guys?” asks Felix, looking at Joan before Steve and Ray. “Not much either?” replies Steve.
