Story Transcript:
No: Sigrid kikket ut over Haakonsvern, den travle marinebasen like utenfor Bergen.
En: Sigrid looked out over Haakonsvern, the busy naval base just outside Bergen.
No: Det var vår, og luften var frisk og fylt med duften av saltvann.
En: It was spring, and the air was fresh and filled with the scent of saltwater.
No: Store skip lå ved kai, og marinesoldater hastet rundt med viktige oppgaver.
En: Large ships were docked, and naval soldiers hurried around with important tasks.
No: Men Sigrid hadde bare ett fokus: hennes skoleprosjekt om norsk marinehistorie.
En: But Sigrid had only one focus: her school project on Norwegian naval history.
No: Ved siden av henne stod Leif, hennes partner.
En: Next to her stood Leif, her partner.
No: Han så seg omkring, mer interessert i hva som skjedde rundt dem enn i notatene hun hadde holdt fram.
En: He looked around, more interested in what was happening around them than in the notes she had held out.
No: "Jeg tror vi bør begynne med biblioteket her," sa Sigrid, med et blikk på notatene sine.
En: "I think we should start with the library here," said Sigrid, with a glance at her notes.
No: "Det er masse å hente om historien der.
En: "There's a lot to learn about the history there."
No: "Leif nikket, men øynene hans stirret på et gammelt, slitent område av basen, langt borte fra den travle kaien.
En: Leif nodded, but his eyes were fixed on an old, worn-out area of the base, far away from the busy dock.
No: "Hva om vi utforsker litt først?
En: "What if we explore a little first?
No: Kanskje vi finner noe kult.
En: Maybe we'll find something cool."
No: "Sigrid sukket.
En: Sigrid sighed.
No: Hun visste at Leif lett ble distrahert, men likevel manglet hun ikke beundring for hans evne til å finne spennende detaljer.
En: She knew that Leif easily got distracted, yet she did not lack admiration for his ability to find exciting details.
No: "Vi har ikke så mye tid," advarte hun.
En: "We don't have much time," she warned.
No: Men likevel, noe ved hans entusiasme var smittsomt.
En: But still, there was something contagious about his enthusiasm.
No: De begynte å gå.
En: They started walking.
No: Mens de beveget seg bort fra den aktive delen av basen, oppdaget de et gammelt lager.
En: As they moved away from the active part of the base, they discovered an old warehouse.
No: Det var her, skjult under støv og tid, at de snublet over en samling av gamle sjøfartsgjenstander.
En: It was here, hidden under dust and time, that they stumbled upon a collection of old maritime artifacts.
No: Kart med falmede tegninger, kompasser av messing, og slitte uniformer fra en annen tid.
En: Maps with faded drawings, brass compasses, and worn uniforms from another era.
No: Leif plukket opp et gammelt kompass.
En: Leif picked up an old compass.
No: "Se!
En: "Look!
No: Det må være fra begynnelsen av 1900-tallet.
En: It must be from the early 1900s."
No: "Sigrid bøyde seg ned for å inspisere en utslitt kapteinsjakke.
En: Sigrid bent down to inspect a worn-out captain's jacket.
No: Hun forstod straks verdien av disse funnene.
En: She immediately understood the value of these finds.
No: "Dette er perfekt for prosjektet vårt," sa hun, med en nyvunnet entusiasme.
En: "This is perfe
