Sunbreaker and Udalski walked down to the docks.
Good game Sunbreaker said.
First time I lost in my 56 years of playing you weren't kidding your father taught you well boy Udalski said patting Sunbreakers shoulder as they arrived at his boat.
I managed to walk away with 500 lithium to not a bad reward Sunbreaker said.
Help me unhook the anchor to ole Netty here! Udalski said walking towards a chain.
Sunbreaker walked towards the other chain as dock workers pulled the anchors out the water.
These here are regular waters she sits on but once we're out in the nitrus river don't fall in and you'll live Udalski said.
Noted Sunbreaker said following Udalski onto the boat.
I have supplies already stored on the bottom deck enough to last us the 6 day trip Udalski said giggling.
The boat began to float off.
Does it have a motor? Sunbreaker said.
Unfortunately no it's been past down eons it's an old ship I inherited her from me ancestors Udalski said.
Amouranth seems a nice place Sunbreaker said.
The areas not ramped with crime and scum yes Amouranth is sure a beaut Udalski said.
I get the vibe you were ex navy Sunbreaker said.
Yes I am often times Travis would join along expeditions to help us reclaim artifacts that were taken from Amouranth.
What were some of the artifacts? Sunbreaker asked.
I take it you don't know much about your father Udalski said looking at him.
People who knew him told me I looked like a carbon copy of him Sunbreaker said.
Haven't really seen your face I've seen pictures of you as a boy he used to show them off said he was proud of you Udalski said.
*chhhh*
Sunbreaker took his mask off.
My goodness boy I'd think you were him if I didn't know better Udalski said.
I got that a lot growing up Marshall said.
Your cheek is bruised you have a scar running from your forehead across your nose you ever think you should've picked a profession less violent? Udalski asked.
I didn't have much of a choice Sunbreaker said.
Why not? Udalski asked.
Had an abusive stepdad Marshall said.
I'm sorry to hear that Udalski said.
Marshall looked out at dolphin like creatures in the distance jumping out of the water then back in.
My wife and daughter they love coming out here watching them they're smart creatures scientists say their brains are like you and I people I guess Udalski said.
They are magnificent creatures Marshall said.
Unfortunately me wife died of cancer and me daughter doesn't speak to me anymore I come out here I think about how proud I am of her Udalski said.
Marshall put his mask back on and went to his room.
The next day...
*faint grunting*
Sunbreaker opened his eyes.
*faint grunting*
What the hell Sunbreaker whispered exiting his room and going out on deck.
Udalski looked at him as he cut the head off a fish into a bucket.
Good morning Sunbreaker said.
I gotta get her cooked then we can eat Udalski said.
Why all the grunting and yelling though? Sunbreaker said.
I was catching it Udalski said.
What is it? Sunbreaker said.
It's a Jellco fish they taste like jelly Udalski said placing the bucket on a burner.
My dad wrote about those in his journal Sunbreaker said.
Ah then ye know what they are! Udalski said.
Suddenly a giant blue and Yellow Sea beast kept bumping into the bottom of the boat.
Sunbreaker and Udalski fell over as the boat rocked.
Oh damnit! Udalski said.
Sunbreaker stood up and extended his hand to Udalski.
Udalski took it and Sunbreaker helped him up.
Yeah you mind telling me what that was?! Sunbreaker exclaimed.
It's a rolko sea serpent! Quick grab your rifle! Udalski said.
Sunbreaker ran to his room and got it off the wall then came out with it as he loaded 12 bullets into it suddenly the ship rocked again and he was knocked over and dropped the rifle.
Udalski picked it up and went to the edge and saw it's fins barely showing out of the water.
Sunbreaker got up and looked over the edge of the railing Udalski shot at it 12 times and it swam back down into the water things got a real kick Udalski said giggling as he handed the rifle back to Sunbreaker.
You think it's gone? Sunbreaker said loading 12 more bullets into the rifle.
Yeah I think she's gone Udalski said smiling.
Sunbreaker pointed the rifle down at the water.
Don't be so para- Udalski was interrupted as the ship tilted and flung Sunbreaker into the water.
