DE L'ATLANTIQUE À LA MÉDITERRANÉE

Il n'y avait pas de temps à perdre. Charley était à bord en toute sécurité, John et Dan larguèrent les amarres, avec l'aide de Hal, en s'assurant qu'ils n'étaient pas suivis par les trafiquants de drogue soutenant le Quatrième Reich. John s'attendait à une équipe d'abordage. Mais personne ne vint.

"Capitaine Nemo."

"Oui, capitaine Storm."

"Veuillez quitter l'Amazone en mode croisière."

"Bien reçu", répondit l'ordinateur de navigation.

Le Swann a gracieusement traversé l'Amazone à 10 nœuds pendant près de deux jours, les ailes solaires repliées, jusqu'à ce que l'embouchure du fleuve s'ouvre dans l'Atlantique Sud. Puis, plus anxieusement, John dit :

"Nemo, pouvez-vous tracer une route vers Alexandrie, en Égypte, s'il vous plaît. En avant toute."

"À pleine puissance, capitaine. Bien reçu. La Méditerranée, nous voilà."

John regarda Dan, prononçant silencieusement "Bien reçu". Charley l'entendit. Ils sourirent tous. C'était Hal qui intervenait bien sûr.

Les ailes du Swann se déployèrent et Nemo actionna toutes les piles à combustible, se dirigeant vers le nord, jusqu'à ce que le navire soit pris par les alizés. Elizabeth traversa l'Atlantique à toute vitesse sur des foils à plus de 25 nœuds, profitant également des courants. Cinq jours plus tard, ils aperçurent le détroit de Gibraltar, les colonnes d'Hercule.

Ils avançaient à bon rythme, sans aucun doute, mais John savait qu'une équipe de plongeurs pouvait accomplir beaucoup de choses en dix jours. Il leur faudrait encore 2,7 jours pour atteindre Alexandrie, selon le capitaine Nemo.

Pendant qu'ils traversaient l'Atlantique, John, Charley et Dan essayèrent de fabriquer davantage de matériel qu'ils avaient volé au camp nazi.

"Ok Dan, qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ?"

John brandit une montre et un casque d'écoute plutôt compliqué.

"Je suis perplexe, Skip. Donne-moi un peu de temps pour le comprendre."

John attacha le casque et mit la montre-bracelet à son poignet. Charley fouilla dans le reste de la boîte à malices. Dan lisait un des épais cahiers noirs, essayant de comprendre tout cela. Les notes et les diagrammes suivaient le développement de la technologie. Dan remarqua une entrée qui n'avait aucun sens.

"Hé Skip, cette montre semble avoir coûté une somme extraordinaire."

"Hum huh." John regarda Dan en attendant un chiffre.

"20 milliards de dollars."

"Qu'est-ce que c'est ?" dit John en levant le bras.

Ce faisant, la montre émit un bip. Puis il sentit une sensation de picotement provenant du casque. La montre semblait lui parler.

"Je ne pense pas que ce soit une montre Skip."

Charley intervint : "Il y a quelque chose ici à propos d'un 'RepliVator'. Elle continua à lire.

"Je pense que c'est une sorte de super ordinateur", dit Dan.

"Non", dit Charley. "Cela a quelque chose à voir avec le clonage et les réplicants."

"C'est de la science-fiction Charley", dit Dan.

"Et je suis un Blade Runner."

"Oui", dit John. "Peut-être tout ce qui précède. Mais il me parle d'une manière ou d'une autre."

Charley et Dan rirent, comme si John avait perdu la boule.

"Non, vraiment. Je pense à travers ce truc de casque."

John avait l'air sérieux. Il était devenu pâle et transpirait.

...

Il a fallu neuf jours et neuf heures pour faire le voyage de Manaus à Alexandrie.

 

 

 

One of the world’s most widely publicised events, the Cannes Festival is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which was founded in 1946. The invitation-only festival previews new films of all genres, including documentaries, from around the world with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level. The most prestigious award given at Cannes is the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) for the best film. Past winners include some of the greatest movies of all time: La Dolce Vita (1960); Taxi Driver (1976); Apocalypse Now (1979); Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989); Wild at Heart (1990); The Piano (1993); Pulp Fiction (1994); and The Pianist (2002).

 

 

 

 

ATLANTIC TO THE MEDITERRANEAN

 

There was no time to lose. Charley safely onboard, John and Dan cast off, with help from Hal, making sure they were not being tracked by the drug dealers supporting the Fourth Reich. John anticipated a boarding party. But none came.

 

"Captain Nemo."

 

"Yes Captain Storm."

 

"Please exit the Amazon in cruise mode."

 

"Copy that," replied the navigation computer.

 

The Swann gracefully cruised the Amazon at 10 knots for almost two days, solar wings folded, until the mouth of the river expanded into the South Atlantic. Then more anxiously John said: "Nemo, can you plot a course for Alexandria, Egypt, please. Full steam ahead."

 

"Full power Captain. Roger that. Mediterranean here we come."

 

John looked at Dan, mouthing 'Roger that.' Charley caught it. They all smiled. It was Hal interjecting of course.

 

The Swann's wings unfolded, and Nemo engaged all of the fuel cells, heading north, until the ship caught the trade winds. Elizabeth sprinted across the Atlantic doing better than 25 knots, also taking advantage of the currents. Five days later they sighted the Gibraltar Straights, the.Pillars of Hercules

 

They were making good time, no doubt about it, but John knew a diving team could accomplish a lot in ten days. It would take them another 2.7 days to get to Alexandria, according to Captain Nemo.

 

While they were crossing the Atlantic, John, Charley and Dan tried to make more of the equipment they'd stolen from the Nazi camp.

 

"Okay Dan, what is this." John held up a watch and a rather complicated looking kind of headset.

 

"I'm stumped Skip. Give me a bit of time to work it out."

 

John strapped on the headset, and put the wristwatch on his arm. Charley rummaged around in the rest of the box of tricks. Dan was reading one of the thick black bound notebooks, trying to make head and tail of it all. The notes and diagrams followed the development of the technology. Dan noticed an entry that did not make sense.

 

"Hey Skip, that watch seems to have cost an extraordinary amount."

 

"Uhm huh." John looked to Dan waiting for a figure.

 

"$20 billion dollars."

 

"What this," said John holding up his arm. As he did so, the watch beeped. Then he felt a tingling sensation coming from the headset. The watch seemed to be talking to him.

 

"I don't think it's a watch Skip."

 

Charley chimed in, "There is something here about a 'RepliVator.' She kept reading.

 

"I think it's some kind of super computer," said Dan.

 

"No." Said Charley. "It is something to do with cloning and replicants."

 

"That's science fiction Charley," said Dan. "And I'm a Blade Runner."

 

"Yes," said John. "Maybe all of the above. But it is talking to me somehow."

 

Charley and Dan laughed, as though John had lost it.

 

"No, really. I think through this headset contraption." John looked serious. He had turned pale and was sweating.

 

...

 

 

It took nine days, nine hours for the journey from Manaus to Alexandria.
