This is a guide for {{IL|Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery}} and discovering islands in the Unterzee!

Why would you embark on a scientific journey?

* Obtaining {{IL|Beatific Stone}} (Church renown 40 item)
* Regaining access to the University if you're {{IL|Unwelcome at the University -|Appearance=Unwelcome at the University}}
* Breeding a {{IL|Bifurcated Owl}} with certain Fate-locked stories
* Access to 3 more destinations and a zailing card
* Getting bones from {{IL|Bullbone Island}}
* Creating the {{IL|Volume of your Cryptopalaeontological Work}} needed to access [[The Osteology Lab]] at {{IL|The Museum of Prelapsarian History}}
* Access to {{IL|Port Cecil}} (which [[Port Cecil (Guide)|has its own guide]]) (and continue [[Evolution_(Guide)#Part_3_-_The_Experiment|Evolution pt. 3]])
* In order to get a specific statue in {{IL|Moulin}}

== Unlocking scientific voyages ==
{{IL|Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery}} 1

The Dilmun Club sponsors scientific voyages, but not for just anyone. You may prove you are not "just anyone" with the following qualities:

* {{IL|Watchful}} 120
* {{IL|A Person of Some Importance -|Appearance=A Person of Some Importance}}
* {{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}} 3
* {{IL|Cultivating an Acquaintance with His Amused Lordship}} 3 
* {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 30

Once you meet the qualifications, His Amused Lordship will offer recommend you to the club...but his valet dislikes you and keeps "losing" the paperwork. You can find the fellow in Ladybones Road via the bronze storylet [[A Sneering Gentleman]]. You'll have to confront him and spend the following: 

* {{IL|Blackmail Material|1 x}}
* {{IL|Book of Hidden Bodies|2 x}}
* {{IL|Extraordinary Implication|5 x}}

With the valet's attitude corrected, you can go to the {{IL|Bazaar Side-streets}} to meet with the Dilmun Club [[Upstairs at the Bridge Without]] (a gold storylet).

==Preliminary Research==
{{IL|Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery}} 2

Before you can actually set sail, you need to do some [[Preparatory Research]] at {{IL|Your Lodgings}}. There are three types of research you can generate, here and on the voyages themselves:

* {{Il|Page of Prelapsarian Archaeological Notes}} (AN)
* {{Il|Page of Cryptopalaeontological Notes}} (CN)
* {{Il|Page of Theosophistical Notes}} (TN)

You're only required to generate 50 pages of one type of research in order to progress. However, you may want to take advantage of the options here to get a good head start on research, especially if you have a particular goal in mind. There's a limit to how much research you can obtain on a single visit to one of the islands, and you won't be able to do [[Another round of preliminary research]] until you've returned and used up most of the research you've generated.

Check the options on [[Preparatory Research]] to see a single list of all options and their costs and rewards. For a quick reference of the sources for each type of research, expand the relevant table below. Note that the sequency you do this in matters, as doing enough of some types of research will cause options to disappear:

|}How to get the most possible preparatory research of a single type:

* {{Il|Page of Prelapsarian Archaeological Notes|420 x|Appearance=Archaeological Notes}}: 3 x [[Consult your current work]] and 2 x [[Examine your collection of curiosities]]; also gets 120 of each of the other two types
* {{Il|Page of Cryptopalaeontological Notes|380 x|Appearance=Cryptopalaeontological Notes}}: 3 x [[Consult your current work]], 2 x [[Test your Unearthly Fossil]], and 1 x [[Trade in academic favours]]; also gains 120 of each of the other two types
* {{Il|Page of Theosophistical Notes|140 x|Appearance=Theosophistical Notes}}: 1 x [[Consult your current work]], 2 x any of the 50-page options; also gains 140 of each of the other two types

Once you've gotten all the preparatory research you want, choose any of the [[Preparatory Research|Enough (type of) research]] options to set your {{IL|Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery|Appearance=Embarking}} to 3, which allows you to finally begin your voyage.

== The voyage, at last ==
{{IL|Embarking on a Voyage of Scientific Discovery}} 3-4

'''Note:''' Outfits are locked while on any of these islands. You will want your {{IL|Watchful}} gear. You also cannot leave the island early; once you dock, you'll only get back to your ship after you finish the entire carousel of actions outlined in the tables below, but you are free to return to the same island or a different island to gather more notes.


=== Choosing your destination ===

'''Note:''' You will need to posess a ship to do this.

Which island(s) you decide to sail to will depend on what you hope to gain. Each of the 3 main islands — {{IL|Bullbone Island}}, {{IL|Corpsecage Island}}, and {{IL|Grunting Fen}} — provides different proportions of the 3 research types, as well as non-scientific rewards you can choose instead.

* {{IL|Bullbone Island}} provides the most {{Il|Page of Cryptopalaeontological Notes|Appearance=Cryptopalaeontological Notes}}, and up to {{IL|Horned Skull|5 x}} in exchange for {{IL|Survey of the Neath's Bones|20 x}} each.
* {{IL|Corpsecage Island}} provides the most {{Il|Page of Prelapsarian Archaeological Notes|Appearance=Archaeological Notes}}, and the {{IL|Renown: The Church|Appearance=Renown: Church}} 40 [[Factions (Guide)|Faction item]] {{IL|Beatific Stone}}.
* {{IL|Grunting Fen}} provides the most {{Il|Page of Theosophistical Notes|Appearance=Theosophistical Notes}} and a decent number of {{Il|Page of Cryptopalaeontological Notes|Appearance=Cryptopalaeontological Notes}}. You will need a {{IL|Screaming Map}} to sail here.

In addition, the card [[The Fleet of Truth]] can now be drawn while zailing. It provides some {{IL|Zailing...}} in addition to 5 pages of each type of research.

=== Orthos is coming! ===
Regardless of which islands you choose, the length of your visit (and what options are available at any given time) is determined by the temporary Menace quality, {{Il|Orthos is Coming!}} This quality is generally increased by 2 CP on a successful action, and by 1 CP on a failure. 

The number of actions for each stage in the tables below assumes 100% successes, and therefore a total of 21 actions on each island. The EPA calculations don't account for travel, as this varies depending on the zailing region(s) and your ship. See [[Zailing (Guide)#Gaining progress|Zailing (Guide)]] for more information on journey lengths for different zee trips.

*When gathering supplies for an [[Forgotten Quarter Expeditions (Guide)|expedition in the Forgotten Quarter]], you can rely on your own expertise, spending {{IL|Page of Prelapsarian Archaeological Notes|Appearance = AN|10 x}} in exchange for a single Crate of Expedition Supplies. This is extremely action-inefficient.

This also costs you {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1 x}}, and the resulting Revisionist Missive gives the reader up to half a level worth of {{IL|Watchful}} and {{IL|Persuasive}} CP.
*150 notes of each type (not consumed) are among the requirements to [[Put up a statue honouring a Legendary Zee-Captain, that is, Yourself|build a statue honouring a legendary zee-captain]] in {{IL|Moulin}}.
*{{IL|Page of Cryptopalaeontological Notes|Appearance = CN|500 x}} along with each of the fate bred monsters is required to breed a {{IL|Bifurcated Owl}}
