PILGRIM ADRIFT

I am in love with these renditions and it has made me miss my story-children ; w;

Bringing Her Home

"Celebrations are always in order whenever a good haul comes into port. Every scarp of floating debris is worth something, but once in a while, a mother lode rises from below. Such a discovery is an auspicious event and worthy of the entire community's jubilation." ———————————————————————————— My new life goal is an image a day!

GEOLOGICAL HEALTHCARE

Testing out the story with proper comic dimensions. Definitely a lot more space to allow for time and exposition, but I need to get used to time/effort involved. Exciting times :D

Lingering Departure

Testing out a webcomic approach to telling this part of the story :D

Report 008 - Appropriate Altitude

Report 007- My rocks, let me show you them.

Report 006 - Tugging Islands

Report 005 - Terra Firma

Saying that Ms. Sauveterre is passionate about her realm of study [see Rocks of all Kinds] would be a huge disservice to the unbridled zeal she emits.  Eager to smile and disarmingly approachable are the best way to describe her, despite her limited range of conversational subject matter.  Big Rocks, Little Rocks, Old Rocks, New Rocks, Floaty Rocks, Shiny Rocks, Pebbles... you get the idea.

Another inescapable subject that has been making the rounds are her eyes. 'Carmine Orbs' as she called them, but I've heard less flattering terms being thrown around.  She gave me a pretty candid rundown of their attributes:  Horrendously poor eyesight in what we call the visual spectrum, but with an increased range into UV and infrared.  She wears an amazingly sophisticated set of corrective eyewear that allows her to flip in various polarized lenses at a whim for what she called 'added coolness effects'.

Fascinating genetics aside, she's a doctorate researcher at the Nova Lutetia Institute. Funded directly by the department of geology, her goal is to further her research on Galileum and other gravity defying matter.  An expedition to the source of it all, is more than ideal for her.  Her Institutional Pedigree is impressive and makes me want to crawl under a... for lack of a better word, rock.  

Report 004

Here she is, the FRV Sophia.  Today was a whole pile of the unexpected:

She's a much smaller ship up in person.  The pamphlet made her look a lot bigger.  That being said, she was very densely packed, yet with a surprising amount of maneuvering space once inside.

She's clearly not a local vessel, but an Enochim one [fancy that] with what seemed like quite a few adjustments.  The engineer was rather busy so he just blurted out that she was 'retrofitted to the gills'.

I'll be sharing my quarters with a geologist who's patron institute has fronted the remainder of the expedition costs.  Seems like the Captain was able to find the only other scientist willing to go in person to our end goal.  I think I look forward to meeting her,  I'll find out soon enough.

Report 003 - Home Port

I'll be taking the tour of our commissioned vessel tethered at pier 45 tomorrow, so I thought I'd make sure I knew how to get there.  I can't risk keeping the captain waiting again [see report 002] so I hope an early bird approach will prevent her opinion of me from deteriorating further.

I have to say that I really do enjoy the environment around the customs house.  Apart from being an impressive building on its own, the surrounding ruckus and unending flow of bodies really gives it a completely different energy from the rest of the city.  A little disorienting at first, it didn't take long for me to find the controlled chaos intoxicating.  I can't even understand most of the conversations that are going on, but i still find the exchanges fun.  Keeping a smile on earns you extra points.

Usual precautions apply:  No loose shiny objects, keep the wallet buried and walk fast.  To expedite, a little extra coin goes a long way.  Most of all, avoid pissing off the locals.  That last one should go without saying, but you'd be surprised.
