1507
- Ohimalpopoca, Tenoch's primary military advisor, is always by the ocean’s edge. He is a thinker and a dreamer. The other day he felled some trees, shaped them with sharp obsidian knives, tied them together, put them in the ocean, placed 10 warriors on it...and they floated away! 'Eureka!' was the exclamation Ohimalpopoca used, but Tenoch questioned why his advisor always plays like that? Ohimalpopoca called it the beginnings of a Navy, but Tenoch laughed and prided himself in not even knowing what that meant. He then said he called it the loss of 10 warriors. Tenoch should sacrifice Ohimalpopoca to the gods, but he thinks they would be displeased, as the Gods just received 10 warriors by boat in the water. Tenoch let's his advisor continue with his shenanigans. Maybe one day this "Aztec Navy" will prove fruitful.
