Adventures in the Pirate Continent: Episode 11 - Advertec College!

Jay looked like a corpse as he ordered other drink.

“Well, I went to Advertec Collage to see Professor Dante, who was only like a father to me,” said Jay.

"Us," said Eliza.

"Sorry, us."


Advertec College

"Professor Dante. Professor Dante," yelled Jay as he entered the vaulted Advertec University. He looked around. He didn't see the gray wise beard of Professor Dante. He did however see the much older gray wise beard of Professor Alister.

“Professor Alister, where's Professor Dante?” said Jay.

“Oh, he's not here," said Professor Alister.

“ Oh …  Well, I've been surveying for him for the past three years," said Jay.

“He died," said Alister.

“Why, was, I, not contacted?”

“Oh, we assumed you were dead.”

"They canceled that survey," Jay said as he nursed a shot at the bar. Dylan looked around.

“I saw a girl my age who was walking six Bengal tigers. I asked her, why was she walking six Bengal tigers? She said she was a tiger walker. I found that, that...,” said Dylan.

“It took me two years of searching. I found it. Out here in the one unchartered section that I got no responses to. I found it, Professor Alister,” said Jay.

“Oh, that old thing. We're searching for it too. Our backers will be very interested in that," said Professor Alister.

"What backers?" said Jay.

"Oh, you know the gentleman dressed in black over there."

“You mean the Nazis?” said Jay.

 "Now Jay, there are some very good men who have paid a lot of money to this university. They are very nice, good, people who deserve a chance to have academia as much as anybody,” said Professor Alister.

“They're Nazis,” said Jay.

“Jay, that is very rude. Everybody deserves free speech."

"I'm saying that they wouldn't offer you the same opportunity, and that they want to kill most people. That's their whole goal, to take free speech away,” said Jay.

“Jay, you don't seem totally up for doing this work with Nazis.”

“No, I quit, I quit! I will go about it on my own. I'll find it before any of you people can,” said Jay.
