The Sirens are still sounding. The poets are still listening.

The module puts up the sails for a journey to the occult earth, and the first thing it does is ask where the poets went. Then Darwin — and Jemmy, the boy Darwin studied and used as his model of early man, who was neither early nor a model. The three powers of European expansion, and where they agreed. The Piltdown forgery. Dr Hardy proposing in 1930 that man came out of the water, and the thirty years that went nowhere.

Underneath all of it, the fascia — the layer that holds a body together and has no organ of its own. Then the ghost ships of the present age, which is what the silent sirens are sounding for. It ends on the chambered nautilus.

Two weeks with it. Long enough to go through the whole module more than once, which is how these are usually taken.

The White Room comes with it, and does not expire. One key, used once, and the room stays open — no renewal, no second charge, no end date. It is the one room here that isn’t a lecture, and the students who already began are in it.
