The Mo Ce Sea Prison Rig was an offshore Fire Nation Prison and shipyard used for the internment of Earthbenders during the late stages of the hundred-year war.
Prisoners were taken captive mainly for resisting fire nation rule in the Earth kingdom or attempting to perform bending in disallowed regions.
Such internees were forced to build, repair and refuel ships for the Fire Nation that docked here while their imprisonment was indefinite.
It was a towering, highly secure facility located several miles away from the coast of the earth kingdom, supported by multiple bars which elevated it above sea level.
With the world's ancient era and primitive technology still relying on swords and arrows, it was a marvel how they managed to build this structure at all.
In the series, Aang and team Avatar carried out the first successful major prison revolt this place had ever experienced.
Liberating the earthbenders from years of slavery.
Decked out in an Imperial Firebender Uniform, Luca took a good look at the massive steel prison as his riverboat drew closer.
'…. Alright … Showtime ….'. He took in a deep breath seeing the Fire Navy ship being dispatched in his direction.
This was good. Meaning that they had no plans to fire at him, destroying his ride and himself in the process.
At least, he hoped it was.
It could also mean his identity had been discovered, and they were coming to apprehend him while laughing at his stupidity of handing himself over on a silver platter.
'…. Damn …. Why am I thinking of this now?'
Luca could tell that all these random, unnecessary thoughts were as a result of his nervousness and fear.
This was a common reaction within humans during tense situations that could result in incoherent speech, trembling, sweatiness and so on. Forget about his current situation, people would feel worse while being under circumstances way less intense.
He resisted the urge to shake his head as he stood on the riverboat deck. Legs planted firm, hands behind his back, body posture straight and upright.
This was it. The defining moment that decided whether he would leave this place smoothly or not. Hence, not knowing whether his every action was currently being scrutinized, he needed to give his best performance and display what he felt an Imperial Firebender should be like.
Strong, imposing, commanding authority, and carrying an oppressive presence.
Like an experienced actor in an audition, Luca mentally prepared himself to perform for the judges currently approaching.
His hand placed not far from the Longsword strapped diagonally behind his waist. Ready to attack the moment things went south.
The sound of ship at sea resounded through the air as Luca's boat was covered in a large shadow.
'… Yep, much bigger than Zuko's cruiser…'. The thought was fleeting as a ladder bridge was pushed downwards.
Clang! It touched the river boat with a loud metal collision.
Luca remained unperturbed. The Canister holding the fake scroll was in his right hand as he waited.
Under his gaze, they appeared. Fire Navy officers, three of them to be precise, with two holding spear weapons with helmets that revealed their faces.
The other stood at the forefront of the group, dressed similarly to them, but his head sported no helmet, but long gray hair tied up at the center of his head and falling back towards his neck. The other half moving forward was completely bald. Quite similar to Kay-Fon (Elder Wu) back in Senlin village.
