[video] you will hear it for yourself, and it will surely fill you with wonder
[As can be expected Nate's film-related framing could be significantly improved - he isn't entirely in line with the feed, but it does enable viewers to see the edge of a jib boom, thick fabric, and the roiling, dark waters behind him. Upon finding a sailboat moored in one of his island's small, rocky coves he commandeered it for the express purpose of old school navigation: no trade or transport, but cartography.
This might be evidenced by the worn pencil he has stuck behind one ear, and the notebook flat, open, in his hand. The other he uses to talk, being a gestural sort of person.]
I know everyone else is doing the whole- y'know, "organizing stuff and travel" thing, which is great! But I've been mapping the area because we're pretty scattered. Not just in terms of area and amenities, but environment. And the lunar cycle feels like it's twice as fast.
[He isn't an astronomer or an astro-physicist, but he's had to find his path by stars before and the passage of time is expedited here in a way that must contribute to the limited extents of high tide and low tide on the islands.]
I'm not sure if there was any life here before we arrived, but if anybody finds any ruins - ones we didn't bring with us - let me know.
[Nate turns briefly, glancing out at something adjacent to him. A shadow in the waves. When he speaks again it is with calculated casualness.]
And, uh...if you see a tall guy in a denim jacket...smoker, Boston accent, answers to "Sam." Tell him I'm looking for him.

[now that he did not know. He'll have to poke at that line of information later.]
You're free to get a shovel and dig if you want. I only know what I see, and what I see is an ocean between me and everything I want to look for. [with a nod to the boat] That's not enough. Enjoy it, I have my own ways of getting around.

[He knows, it was stupid. There were monster sharks. He got bitten. But it's all in the past!]
Wait- you don't even want to see what stuff is around the islands?
[Color him rightfully confused, but he was still down with having another person on-board for the mapping process. It's nice to be at sea.]
no subject
[look he's a captain, not a cartographer. the shapes of the rocks just aren't interesting to him]
Let me know how that thing handles. Just for professional curiosity's sake.
no subject
[BUT THESE ROCKS ARE COOL, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
I'll let you know if I find anything.
