Wilson dubs this location in the southeast corner of von Spee Bone Knoll. One skull with loosened jawbone is discovered to go along with a piscine rib cage.

Interesting line of circles formed by its spine protruding from the surface. The school of small dark fish seem to know more than they let on.

Returning to Yvonni in the same sim, she always seems to be oriented almost directly west.

Could she be looking at something? Un-rendnering the water and shortening distance seems to provide a clue. Might it be the buried (King) Poseidon statue again?? LINK

Buried King (von Spee) and Queen (Dybur).

Yvonni and Bücker Jungmann biplane again.

Interesting angle toward the biplane. Almost seems to be on a runway.

The *two* von Spee biplanes, past (lower right) and present (upper left).

Returning to Bone Knoll, Baker finds an additional skull — jawbone still intact this time — to go with the first. They are about equidistant from the central rib cage with its interesting line of circles.

Side note: Maximilian von Spee’s two sons were killed with him during the same battle that sank the Scharnhost. LINK

The eastern half of two rows of 9 columns near the southern boundary of the sim is aligned with the west side of the rib cage and its 10 ribs. Careful about that shark, Wilson!

Crisis averted. The other row is similarly aligned with the eastern part of the Jungmann biplane.

Interesting alignment of the two von Spree biplanes with Dybur’s large pinkish purple crystal cluster and buried Queen.

Marble-like rocks in Rodel of the far western seas.

The lighthouse dominated island they are located off of.

Sunked sub.

Moving north and east brings Baker into the Coontz sim, which is a bit different. Much hillier for one thing…

… and filled with many mysteries Baker can only touch upon during his brief sojourn this night.

Returning to von Spee, Baker (or is it Wilson?) finds an olive green vase near the base of the hill containing the partially buried Queen statue of the sim.

Another vase occupies a corner of a structure also near the southeast corner of von Spee as a whole (background).

Yvonni and biplane.

Experimenting with shadows.

Lone red octopus.

Jefferson Airplane? No, it’s a Bücker Jungmann biplane used by the German Luftwaffe during WWII. Now how it got here in the central waters of von Spee and *remains* is the mystery at hand. Because objects are supposed to be derezzed after 15 minutes in this sim. Yet von Spee is somehow under the impression that the 45 prim object is still “sat upon”, thus keeping it from being derezzed and returned to the owner’s Lost and Found folder.

Wilson likes the way the colors of the airplane exactly match those of her armbands. Is this a plane made for Wilson? Or are they suppose to be identified with each other 1:1? Bücker is similar to Baker. Is this Baker Bloch’s plane instead?

Von Spee is turning out to hold many mysteries. There’s a Queen statue buried up to her chest in sand…

… and then there’s that headless King ensconced up to his waist in same. Both are positioned on small hills.

The King almost directly faces the more intact of the two Poseidon statues guarding Nautilus City’s inner harbor. Double faces double. Is this Wilson as well? Wilson and Baker Bloch? This also mirrors the earlier discovered alignment of a Dybur Queen statue with the other Poseidon statue of the harbor. But the King-King alignment here is a bit more exact.

At any rate, Baker Bloch takes over for Wilson for the remainder of this post’s pictures. He discovers a statue of 3 dolphins in Mysehi of the northern waters…

… and another Queen on a hill in same.

This one has no arms.
