Talk:A Reflection on My Journey to the Pandyssian Continent (2)/@comment-6716431-20170206024909/@comment-16533050-20170206045921

LOL - I'm sorry, what? Not everything needs to be resolved right off the bat.

Man, read a book. Better yet, read a classic. The journey itself is the adventure.

It takes eight chapters in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea before the heroes actually get onto the Nautilus and meet the infamous Captain Nemo.

Moby Dick has over 130 chapters in it and during the twelve hundred plus pages of story, the eponymous whale doesn't really appear until about 90% of the way into the book.

To the matter of Anton Sokolov himself:

Sokolov is a Natural Philosopher. He will make notes and tell tales of every bit of the journey: his preparations, planning, the vessel itself.

Equipment he will use and experiments he hopes to perform.

Anything of interest he will witness along the way - a terrible storm, a whale breaking the surface of the Ocean, a flock of seagulls, a pod of dolphins 'piloting' the ship for part of its journey. I mean he takes one whole chapter just to describe getting off the boat to the land.
