|summary=Meet Gawain. He's a goose, with great plans to be a great architect, who's fallen instead into being the Chief Guard of the Royal Treasury belonging to King Basil the bear. Only the two of them have keys to enter through the only door into the place, but lo and behold, some of the gems have been stolen. Gawain promises to be even more diligent than he already is – ''I check, I double-check and I re-double-check'', he insists. But more and more things go missing, and soon Gawain is being accused of betraying King Basil's trust and helping himself. I would say he's out on his ear as a result, but, you know – he's a goose.

|summary=In February 1968 the Soviet nuclear missile submarine K-129 left the port of Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka peninsula with a crew of 98 submariners. The captain and executive officers were experienced: the only factor giving cause for concern was that the crew had only recently returned to base and were expecting a longer break and were only back at sea because two sister ships had experienced mechanical problems and were unfit for combat controls. The Division Commander complained that the decision was cruel and potentially reckless. He would be proved right - but not publicly - as K-129 went down with all hands in March 1968. It was a while before the sSoviet navy realised that it had lost one of its submarines and despite an extensive search they couldn't find it.
