Popular Post TheNG Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 Historians exploring old archives of the Dutch East India Company have discovered documents relating to a previously unknown expedition undertaken by the Company. This revelation could re-write history as we know it. A transcript is included below. A Summary of the 1786 Great Pacific Expedition As presented to the Council of the Indies on June 15th, 1789 The Great Pacific Expedition left harbor in Batavia on May 21st, 1786, commanded by the celebrated Captain Steve, and tasked by the Dutch East India Company with exploring vast uncharted swathes of that dark ocean in hopes of discovering new lands, resources, and peoples who could be exploited for profit. With 7 stoutly constructed vessels of the latest design, immense stores of provisions, and manned by the Company’s finest, hopes were high for the Expedition as it sailed forth from safe harbor into parts unknown. The first three weeks proceeded uneventfully as the Expedition, preceded by the shining white sails of its ships, sailed around the East Indies collecting additional supplies and men, as well as demonstrating the might of the Company to all who gazed upon it. At the conclusion of the third week, the Expedition sailed from those safe waters, into the dark, cold reaches of the Pacific. Another week passed, with little encountered save for a few albatrosses and other birds. Still, Captain Steve worried not, proclaiming that they would find many wonders on the journey. And indeed, on the very next day, the Expedition encountered a strange island. It was very large, stretching across the horizon, but for all the men of the Expedition strained, they could spot no features on land, only a great expanse of sand. Still, further exploration was warranted, and Steve himself led and landing party from the flagship VOC Amsterdam. Upon landing, they raised a flag, and claimed this new land for the Dutch East India Company forevermore. Suddenly, a strange group of creatures emerged from behind a dune, appearing closer to apes than men, and howling awful war cries. The men of the landing party raised their weapons in alarm, but were calmed by Captain Steve, who advanced forward and tried to communicate with the creatures. This was fruitless, as the beast-men did not speak Dutch, or any other recognizable language, and only howled and waved with their weapons. Suddenly, more of them emerged, advancing from all directions. The landing party began to hasten back to their boats as the horde charged, but a stray arrow hit Captain Steve, badly injuring him. At once, the men of the Expedition turned to protect their leader, shouting in unison a heroic cry; “For Steve!†Supported by the great ships of the Expedition, the landing party engaged the savages to protect themselves and their leader, truly a great and glorious battle for the ages…. The recovered documents end there, more will be revealed if additional papers are discovered concerning the expedition. tl;dr Nothing personal Mensa, just good business. 15 Quote "They say the secret to success is being at the right place at the right time.
