Ex. is finally underway, with much fanfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAboard the convoy as ship's linguist is Wiki Coffin. Half New Zealand Maori and half American, Wiki speaks numerous languages and is expected to help the crew navigate the Pacific islands that are his native heritage.
