You arrive at the air base early in the morning of a clear day of may. The order arrived just a couple of days ago, barely the time to prepare what you needed for the journey. Southern Atlantic, of all places. With all the talk on the upcoming assault on Fortress Europe, you surely weren't expecting to be assigned so far from the front. Still, the order was signed by no less than Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd - veteran explorer of Antarctica, first man to view both of the polar ice caps. Such an order, coming from so high in the command chain, it's definitely more than enough to stir your curiosity.
You two meet at the entrance base. A slightly overweight academic and a mediterranean - greek? spanish? certainly not italian - military. A stern-looking sergeant calls your names: "Kurt M. Donnely? Andreas Vaslopoulos?" , he waits for confirmation before adding: "Follow me". He leads you to a military car and signals you to get on board, as he takes the driver seat and ignites the engine.
