The Reckoning: Chapter 2: Invasive species Location: Camp Isaac Type: Medium Educational Previous Chapters The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr Dr. Vesper was not impressed with the state of Camp Isaac.

Until there were no puffins left. None at all." Dr. Vesper said cooly. "But of course that's just a theory. And Tiberia holds many cliffs where Puffins could hide still..." Said Randall happily. "Ah, you are an optimist." Said Vesper with a frown. "Yup! And I like birds!" Said Randall. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr Dr. Vesper stood, and drew his pistol. "What you are not getting is this: minifigures destroy. We take. We break things. And we forget about the consequences. I spent my life dedicated to building better ways to do this, only for them to toss me aside like rotting wood in a forest to be burned down anyway. And that is why now is the time of reckoning." "What are you doing?" said Randall in a panic. "Put that thing away before someone gets hurt!" Randall, stood up, only to be struck with the but of a pistol. He cried out, and was struck again. As he crawled away, Dr. Vesper beat him over and over until he stopped moving. The Reckoning Chapter 2 by North White, on Flickr "Yes, Mr. Randall Knox. I think the time of reckoning is nigh."

Said Captain Mesabi The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr "But first, I must tell you a story." "Question? Does the story relate to the mission?" Asked Professor Phillips "Of course it relates to the mission!" Yelled Captain Mesabi "Geeze, no need to yell." The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr "Many years ago.." "Let it be known I feel this is a very unprofessional way to tell us about a mission." Interrupted Professor Phillips "It is noted. Many..." "I kinda agree with Phillips. I find your lack of professionalism disturbing." Said Rusty "Many years ago, I worked with a scientist." "He was evil." The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr 'Now most surgeons use a scalpel. I however, prefer to use something more.... robust. MWAHAHA!" The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr 'Hey, Doc, did you eat my croissant?' 'Have you heard of knocking!" 'Aw man, are you doing human experimentation? You know I have to report this to HR.' 'Never!' *STAB* The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr 'Ow' The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr "And that's why we need to capture this guy" The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr "Wait, you want revenge on this guy because he ate your croissant?" Asked Professor Phillips "Were you even paying attention?" Asked Captain Mesabi "Not really, since you were being SUPER unprofessional." The evil doctor by North White, on Flickr "I'm all in Captain. We need to punish this guy for stealing your croissant." Said Rusty. "I hate you both." FIN Hope you liked this week's build, as little and pitiful as it is. C&C appreciated

It was another beautiful day in Arlinsport, as Captain Mesabi walked down one of the side alleys to his favorite tavern. Hurricane season was coming. So he knew he should enjoy days like today. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr He entered the Captain's Daughter. He had never liked the name. But the environment was pleasing and the company was good. "Two please," He asked the bartender. Two red mugs were handed to him and filled to the brim with rum. "Yah betta settle up yer tab soon Mesabi. Else I'll send the gov'ners men aft' yah." The Bartender said Captain Stared hm down. The Bartender recoiled. "I have until the end of the month. You wouldn't want to lose your best patron would you?" said Captain Mesabi in a tone that could chill the bone. "Right then." The bartender glared at him as he walked away. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi sat down. Soon, who he was waiting for arrived. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr The accountant sat down. "I must say, I'm a little curious about why you wanted to meet me. Especially after yesterday." The accountant said. "Right. Sorry about that." Captain Mesabi said. "Let's start over, what's your name?" "Darby Tyler the third." Darby still looked a bit unsettled. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr "Let me tell you some of my story. I first saw combat in the Juniper war. I won't tell you what happened then, but it was the kind of thing that changes a minifigure." Captain Mesabi said, in a dismayed tone. "Okay..." Darby looked still more unsettled. "Afterwards, I became a member of the Queen's Guard. I was a palace guard for about six years before I transferred out here." Captain Mesabi said "Look, I came here in the hope that you were going to tell me you were going to apologize, and then tell me you were giving up on your plan." Darby said, Captain Mesabi took a large gulp of rum. "I dd apologize, and if you'd let me finish.." The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr Darby interrupted him. "A Joint Stock Company is not something you should be doing! You have no business experience! You have 25 Doubloons total which you already sank into a headquarters! You have 1 class C ship. What are you going to do?" Captain Mesabi answered. "I wanted to give you a job." Darby replied. "Wait What?" "I need someone to run the day to day operations, crunch numbers, dispatch ships while I work on the, well, bloodier aspects of running a JSC." "You clearly don't know what you're doing." "Alright, I don't. That's why I'm looking for people who do. You'd make a great addition to The Wayfarers Stock Company." "You're insane" "Will you at least consider it? "Fine." Darby put his hand over his head in exasperation and walked out. He hadn't even touched his Rum. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr "Kids these days are so wasteful..." FIN C&C appreciated, I based the tavern off of The London Escape, and stole a lot of the pieces to the build from it. This is the second property I will license this month, and since its my first small one its free!

Agent Raven, Comander Brik, Both MIA. Koro, MIA. There's no one left. No one cares if we do this. We might as well just live in this listening post and hope things get better." "Captain, what are you saying?" "That we should give up. We could become earth soldiers, or pirates" "Captain, we have a job to do, and I don't know about you, but we have Octans to kill. I can't promise you we'll win. But we have a duty." "Yeah yeah. Let's just get to the pickup site." FIN Shot of the whole interior Listened post on Arium by North White, on Flickr
