James had risen that morning, bathed and dressed, choosing one of his uniforms rather than any of his civilian clothes. Despite the shockingly familiar room and all of the equally familiar items in it, he still felt uneasy and uncomfortable in this place. The uniform helped him feel a little more secure. A shield if you will.

He had his breakfast in his room, working out how to ask for that was easy enough, then he decided that he might explore this Mirage place. One ought to know the lay of the land, even in such a strange place. There might be some advantage and perhaps he might find some sign of the sea.

He walked calmly down the corridors in what Gillette had once called his 'Commodore walk'. The measured, stately pace that worked so well both on dry land and at sea to keep him upright, moving and dignified and his position demanded. He peered in the doors as he walked through the main building and in most cases he backed out quickly, either because the contents baffled him or because they horrified him. Finally he opened a door to find a quite, elegantly decorated and extremely well-stocked library.

He gave a sigh of relief and walked inside. Now this was a place that not only made sense to him but that he rather liked. He walked over to the nearest book shelf and began to peruse the titles of the books.
