pombe Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) NOTE TO JUDGES, THE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS IS RECYCLED AND SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED. So...um...it's just a sky with a cloud...and a partial boat deck...hmm... Dramatis Personae: Sea Rats Ethylene Glycol Professor of science. A former faculty member at a prominent Corrington university, she was dismissed after failing to have her grants and fellowships renewed as a result of years of failing to publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. Railing against the scientific institution's insistence that data obtained from experiments must be reproducible and come from well controlled rational approaches to testing a model, Professor Glycol has decided to start her own university of higher learning at the Port of Bastion, where she can do science the proper way and publish in her own independent journal with herself as the sole reviewer, unfettered by the rules of the intellectually inferior. Lucy Liu Sixth year graduate student with no publications. Bitter and jaded, with hatred for the entirety of existence, Lucy followed her advisor to the Port of Bastion, because no other faculty members would accept her as a student after being already mentored by Professor Glycol. Highly intelligent and talented, she has languished in academic hell for the past six years, trying in vain to get her advisor to adopt the practices of the other science professors. Wilhemina Savore A graduate student in civil engineering, with an interest in siegecraft. Prefers to be called Willy. Alois Bieber First year graduate student with no publications. As a former Olean soldier in the Order of Faith, he was a leader against the principles of science, when he attempted to disrupt a seminar being given by Professor Glycol. Instead, he found himself understanding her talk and becoming interested in the subject. Confused and bewildered, he spent two years soul searching until he was able to accept that he had been wrong his whole life. Alois then sought out Professor Glycol, explained his scientific enlightenment, and became her student. Previously, http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122535... Currently, somewhere on the high seas... Sir, they're trying to run! The Absolutely Fabulous is making a break for it! Get the crew to work the sails harder, Helmut! I'm not losing him again! Yes, sir! Oh, you are a sly one, Alois. You probably thought that I wouldn't track you all the way from Le Bellan to the Nest of Thieves. And you probably thought you would lose me when you cleverly swapped ships with the Mardier. But no...I will never let you go. You belong to me. You have always belonged to me... Sir? They're getting away. CURSES! Dieter, how are they getting away? We have the faster ship! For the same reason we have trouble with the Corringtons, sir. Red ones go faster. OUTWITTED AGAIN! Not only did you swap ships with the Mardier to try to throw me off your trail, but you got your hands on a ship painted red! Only Alois Bieber has the tactical acumen to outmanuever me, Captain Harriet Schwartz! And this...this is why...why...I love him. You can't run away forever...you will be mine...yessssss...mine... Sir? Who are you talking to? Just ignore her, lass. She gets like this from time to time. Comments and criticisms are all welcome! Edited April 1, 2016 by pombe Quote
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Great use of perspective to tell the story. Of course red ones go faster; that goes for uniforms as well! Some gender confusion though; shouldn't she be 'Ma'am', not 'Sir'? Quote
Vedauwoo Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Awesome.....but now I have to go dig out my CD..... Quote
dr_spock Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Nice. Red does go faster like a Little Red Corvette. Quote
The Sarge Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Perhaps Harriet should be checked for a fever? A fever... for Bieber? Nice work! Quote
