Princess Charlotte was the first human to set foot on the enchanted isle, 
tripping down the gangway of Atlantis with a couple of her little 
friends in tow, all of them looking like tiny wildflowers in their ribboned 
sun-bonnets, all carrying little baskets for souvenirs, though before long 
these were handed over to governesses. The Princess faced Æther and Chinook, moored a couple of hundred meters 
away, and spoke to them in a normal tone of voice that was, however, heard 
clearly by all; a nanophone was hidden somewhere in the lace collar of her 
pinafore, tied into phased-audio-array systems grown into the top layers of the 
island itself.
