pombe Posted June 15, 2016 Dramatis Personae: Sea Rats Ethylene Glycol Professor of science. A former faculty member at a prominent Corrington university, she was dismissed after failing to have her grants and fellowships renewed as a result of years of failing to publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. Railing against the scientific institution's insistence that data obtained from experiments must be reproducible and come from well controlled rational approaches to testing a model, Professor Glycol has decided to start her own university of higher learning at the Port of Bastion, where she can do science the proper way and publish in her own independent journal with herself as the sole reviewer, unfettered by the rules of the intellectually inferior. Lucy Liu Sixth year psychology graduate student with no publications. Bitter and jaded, with hatred for the entirety of existence, Lucy followed her advisor to the Port of Bastion, because no other faculty members would accept her as a student after being already mentored by Professor Glycol. Highly intelligent and talented, she has languished in academic hell for the past six years, trying in vain to get her advisor to adopt the practices of the other science professors. Recently opened a Marital Arts Studio in Rassilon to help Sea Rats get psychological couples counseling. Wilhemina Savore A graduate student in civil engineering, with an interest in siegecraft. Prefers to be called Willy. Alois Bieber First year graduate student with no publications. As a former Oleander soldier in the Order of Faith, he was a leader against the principles of science, when he attempted to disrupt a seminar being given by Professor Glycol. Instead, he found himself understanding her talk and becoming interested in the subject. Confused and bewildered, he spent two years soul searching until he was able to accept that he had been wrong his whole life. Alois then sought out Professor Glycol, explained his scientific enlightenment, and became her student. Oleon Harriet Schwartz A captain in the Oleon navy and a master naval tactician. She fell in love with an Oleon soldier named Alois Bieber, due to his intractable religious faith and his outspokeness against the principles of science, not to mention his super hot looks. She courted him, only to be horrified as she witnessed his turn to heresy at the hands of the blasphemous Professor Glycol. Now she is on a mission to get him back from the Sea Rats and return him to the truth of the Oleon faith, while making him hers. Helmut Dark An officer in the Oleon navy and Captain Harriet Schwartz's first officer. Professional and loyal, he follows his captain's every command, while putting up with her shortcomings. Dieter Picante A young Oleon navy officer in Captain Harriet Schwartz's crew. Previously: http://www.eurobrick...opic=127388&hl= Somewhere on the high seas... Captain, it's no use! We can't catch the Absolutely Fabulous. Our ship is just not fast enough. Then feast your eyes on this latest marvel of Oleon engineering! I have commisioned a ship with double the sails for double the speed! Behold, the Bieber Fever! She has a speed rating of 6! Alois can't run from me now! HA HA HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!!! Sir, there's no ship class with a speed rating of 6 in this game. My dear, dear Dieter. Stop and think for a second. She can be whatever we want her to be if we don't license her! HA HA! The master naval tactician strikes again! That's genius, sir! Sir! The crew can't figure out how the rigging works! Nevermind that! There's the Absolutely Fabulous! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! Sir, the Absolutely Fabulous is sailing through the narrow cliffs! We won't make it! It's too late! We'll hit the cliffs! BRACE FOR IMPACT!!! Alois, my love. You have beat me again like only you can. But I'll be back for you. I'll be back with all my heart. All comments and criticisms welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwatchi Posted June 15, 2016 I'm trying to decide if I liked this one more than the last episode. The micro-scale building was top notch, but no reference to "red ones..." this time out and I half expected a "narrow channel through the cliffs... how convenient!" Jobs a good one nonetheless. The story had become a personal favourite for me. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
