pombe Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 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 psychology 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. Recently opened a Marital Arts Studio in Rassilon to help Sea Rats get psychological couples counseling. 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 Oleander 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. Oleon Harriet Schwartz A captain in the Oleon navy and a master naval tactician. She fell in love with an Oleon soldier named Alois Bieber, due to his intractable religious faith and his outspokeness against the principles of science, not to mention his super hot looks. She courted him, only to be horrified as she witnessed his turn to heresy at the hands of the blasphemous Professor Glycol. Now she is on a mission to get him back from the Sea Rats and return him to the truth of the Oleon faith, while making him hers. Helmut Dark An officer in the Oleon navy and Captain Harriet Schwartz's first officer. Professional and loyal, he follows his captain's every command, while putting up with her shortcomings. Dieter Picante A young Oleon navy officer in Captain Harriet Schwartz's crew. Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=132603 Currently, on an uncharted island... My calculations were correct. Here it is. What is it? This, Wilhem...ahem...Willy, is the legendary Fountain of Youth. I thought it was just a myth. From my research, I've learned that it is very much real. However, it's not of much use now, since it appears to no longer function. FOUNTAIN'T!!! I do find the statue in the fountain curious. Perhaps it was some sort of god or higher being? Whatever it is, it does look out of this world. Oh, stop with the stupid veiled alien references!! There are no aliens in this forum!! And no, this fountain doesn't have some sort of advanced technology to reverse aging that stopped working a long time ago!! Who writes this stuff?!?! That loser should go back to the sci-fi forum where they tolerate this kind of terrible writing!!! All comments and criticisms welcome! Quote
Tomsche Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I do prefer you don`t go back to the sci-fi forum and keep writing that stuff here Quote
Bregir Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 We are going to need some maintenance work here, since you keep breaking the fourth wall! ;) Amusing story as always, and I like the alternative approach by using the back, or underside, of the plates. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Very cool build... I do like the various overgrown vegetation. And yes, do come back to the Sci-fi forum! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Nice hilariously written work as always but why do you use the back of the plates? Too avant garde for a traditional Oleander like me Quote
TitusV Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Not only a fantastic story, a Nice build as well! Good job! Quote
