What started out as a leisurely sail with my Regency neighbor Captain Koba, ended up with me calling pirates "fiends" and manning the cannons of the HGS Zaneta! Capt. Koba and I met with Admiral Wind, Capt. Trenton, and other assorted naval personages gathered at the Sound before the naval battles were to begin. When Capt. Trenton asked for a volunteer to be on his crew, I thought, "Why not?"
My task? Simple. Man the cannons and blast 'em when they got close. I figured I could manage that and tried my best to keep them in my sight!
But while we did damage to their ship, the Zaneta took too many hits and was incapacitated *cough cough*
Dash it! We were boarded! I had not figured upon this when accepting! How
dare Mr. Abel and Mr Enoch point weapons at me! "We'll take her aboard!" they said, nodding towards their ship. I looked at my captain and pulled out my knife-pistol. They were messing with the wrong lady...
In the second battle, we went up against the pirates and despite our best efforts, they managed to defeat us, and Capt. Trenton and I went down with the Zaneta.
Grrrr. Our colleague got off some shots and got the pirate ship, but only at the cost of his own. We could only watch as he saluted, and went down.
It seems my handy ways with a cannon made Capt. Trenton invite me to join the Caledon Navy. Never figured myself for a military type, but this is Caledon...you never know what will happen next.
I did enjoy the blasting of its cannons and guns very much, but its Steeltopia colors fireworks was quite a pleasant surprise!
Afterwards, I braced myself as we rattled through the streets in what I can only describe as Steel's "Transport O'Doom"...
And he showed me the latest structure in town...the new Pneumatic Club, which has a fantastic central floor and should be a nice place for his dances and such in the future.
He is a lot of fun himself and last night he decided to give me a tour of the mines, as it had been a while since I'd been down there...
And we ended up in a boiler room. That did not bode well, trust me...
Nothing like roaming underneath a city. The mines will soon be relocated...
The Emperor also has a chain of small coffee shops called Steelbucks that he "franchises" (contact him if you'd like a branch!) There are two on one block alone near my home in Steelhead! I once visited them and went on a tiny rampage through town. Steeltopia is a fun place with a steampunk feel. Go visit if you haven't been there before!
Commodore Sputnik started jigging and I follwed his lead. Soon all of us were jigging...
Grogging and jigging encouraged? The Navy was definitely the right choice for me...
And Mr. Sands...grogging and jigging with an anchor!
Arrrrr mateys!!! Ye know wot day it is, ye scurvy bilge rats?! Where's me grog?
