Seriously though, some sort of set of coordinates would probably be better. "
What word or number in that language Angartýr is currently strangely familiarized with should be put on the first column?"
It's a Horror From Outer Space. It has some means of navigating the Earth.
Latitudes and longitudes are a possible approximation.
We have 4 points of input.
First could denote the solar system. Agantýr is "strangely familiarized" with horror-speak, so he should know the right name.
Second would then denote the proper planet. Hope he's learned enough to denote #3.
Third could denote the time and date. Which is probably quite important here, if we're talking instant transportation. I'd go for the date after we entered the buried city in the desert.
Finally the fourth I would then assume holds information about latitude/longitude or something similar. My first thought here is to aim for Vinland's capital, though that would mean abandoning our brethren in Jerusalem... Second thought thereby being Jerusalem, so we could abandon the city properly and sail for Vinland.
Thoughts on this?
Oh, and
Baltika9 ? A bit silly to go into space without any protection against cold, hard vacuum, don't you think? Even though Agantýr is immortal, that plan sounds like boredom waiting to happen...
