[Anna's Diary: Entry #1]

August 20th 1895

Dear Diary,

I'm going on an expedition! (Note to self, find out what they do on an expedition)

It only took an eternity trying to convince my sister to let me go. Elsa seems to think it's going to be dangerous. She obviously isn't aware of my super awesome martial arts mastery. I had to promise to listen and do everything she tells me to… Agh.

Truth be told, diary, there is nowhere I felt safer than beside my big sister. I trust Elsa completely, and there is nothing her amazing powers couldn't do. Besides, she's a sucker for my puppy face; all I had to do was to start singing that old snowman song! Is it always this easy to persuade a monarch?

I still have no idea where we were going, but it doesn't matter now does it? This'll be the first bit of fun and alone time I'll have with Elsa since… well, since we were kids. Maybe I'll even convince the commander to let me run the ships once in a while, being a princess and all.

To do:

· Pack some comfy clothes

· Squeeze more information out of The Queen

· [Scribbles]

· Pack a crate of chocolate. [Hand drawn smile]

Oh man I'm so excited.

Anna

c̶o̶m̶m̶e̶

Commanding Officer: William R Pierce

Schedule: Royal Expedition to the West Scicilia Islands

Status: Preparation

It's been three months since the last telegram from fleet commander R.A. Alexander. There is no news of the riots in the Scicilia Principality. The last discreet CQD indicated some sort of abnormal occurrence; Queen Elsa's own presence was requested (Likely due to her powers).

For some reason, she decided to bring her sister. N̶o̶w̶ ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶r̶o̶y̶a̶l̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶. The war council meeting has been rushed in light of the discreet CQD transmission, and I don't think Her Majesty is fully aware of what is happening here.

And neither am I. [Scribbling]

Scheduled departure is September 1st. I am to prepare rations for a 6 month journey for 50 crew, plus the servants of the Queen and Princess. I'll take two of my Third Battalion ships, this one for the royal family, and the ANS Bounty, armed on the direct order from the war council. I will have to command both vessels aboard this one, some national law dictated that the captain must be on the same ship as the monarch at all times, after the death of the previous king.

I must check for departure weather conditions 5 days before. Shouldn't be a problem, Arendelle never rains in September. Bring [illegible] just in case of [illegible].

Engine status: Good on all 4

Ship status: Clear of defects, waterproof chamber testing in progress

No other notes.
