There were only Aiven and Milan in the captain's cabin.
A nautical chart was spread open on the desk between the two of them.
The chart was clearly a high-grade item made recently, with paper and illustrations that looked brand new. The smooth surface of the paper showed countries, coastlines, islands, reefs, water depths, navigational markers, lighthouses, supply points, and even the habitats of dangerous marine creatures all marked clearly.
Moreover, the scope covered by this chart was unexpectedly large, including the entire coastal trade routes of the "Tulip Alliance" and more than a dozen common ocean routes, including the path Aiven was most eager for, leading to the New Continent.
Compared to the one Aiven received from the Fleet Headquarters before departure, this one was much broader and more detailed.
