618 Rock Fortress

The shortest path to the next trouble location was to cut through a very dangerous rocky area that wasn't recorded on the map.

"When was this a thing?" Ottley asked and frowned. Even Pepper could not understand what was happening.

Just yesterday, they looked at the stars, surveyed the area and planned the route. Everything looked like it was smooth sailing, and not even the Weatherman's ability could predict the birth of a dangerous rocky zone.

The Marrissa had to resurface temporarily with the rock infested waters in their vision. It was simply too late to turn the ship around without damaging the hull. How did nobody see this before it appeared?

"I'm sorry, captain!" The scout on duty wanted to cry. This rock formation wasn't here in the morning. At the speed that the Marrissa was travelling, he looked away for two hours and thought they would still be in the clear when this happened.
