From his years of professional baseball training at second base, he'd become expertly capable in this position to react quickly, whether diving and catching line drive bullets from hitters or leaping ove...

Re: OOC - Chapter 1

Thanks Raiko and Mr. Handy!

It's good to be back, hearing from friends, and getting the creative juices flowing. I see that Royya is still around too! I'll have to reach out to Anatomist.

I look forward to getting into lots and lots of trouble in the coming months. 8-)

Re: CHAPTER 5: IC - At Sea > Panama to Australia

James Starkweather says, "Exactly right," and asks for help from a nearby seaman. Once he's finished tying the box, they lower it without event into the ocean where it sinks beneath the waves. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. And then the commander says, "So let's now gather in the...

Re: CHAPTER 5: IC - At Sea > Panama to Australia

Re: CHAPTER 5: IC - At Sea > Australia to Antarctica

Sykes emerges from the shadows with a coil of rope over his shoulder and an electric torch in his hand. He hands the torch to Paco and waves him up the ladder, then helps Vittorio to his feet. Vittorio stands, grimacing and clutching the ladder for support, but seems unable to straighten fully. Syk...
