[QUOTE="MnM_UH, post: 697073, member: 10023"] [b]Issue #4 - "Crackling" (Continued)[/b] Scene 3: "Rematch" Torpedo crossed from the beach just outside Hadley Manor and Tiburon and into San Francisco Bay proper. It was not a particularly long swim out to the Pacific Ocean, but Torpedo would often make the trip just for exercise and to patrol the seas for any potential threats. Though he was an Atlantean, Torpedo felt compelled to keep a watchful eye out for his surface-dwelling friends. He was a dual citizen, which was unusual for an Atlantean. The people of Atlantis still weren't trusted fully in the world of the air-breathers, and vice versa. So someone like Torpedo, with ties in both worlds, was very rare indeed. Sometimes Torpedo would patrol the bay within routes ships would use to enter or exit the waterways, and he would examine the ships' hulls to make sure they weren't leaking or in danger of taking on water. He was able to alert a few ship captains to problems with their ships, and thus prevented disaster. Torpedo felt sometimes like he was a patron saint, just like in ancient times, when ship captains would make tribute to gods. The Greeks had Poseidon, and other ancient societies had their equivalent deities. Torpedo had developed relationships with many ship captains who made regular trips to San Francisco Bay. On his way out to the ocean, Torpedo spotted a familiar ship, the Brittania, and hailed the captain after quickly examining the hull for any potential leaks or other problems. "Good to see you, Torpedo," Captain Lewis called out from the deck. The Atlantean smiled. "And good to see you, Captain Lewis," he replied. "Everything looks good. You might want to clear some of the barnacles on the hull. They're starting to cluster around your aft rudder." Even though Torpedo had picked up one some of the lingo, he still didn't know all of the proper ship terminology, but the ship captains never really corrected him. ************************************************ On the way out to the open ocean, Torpedo went over things in his mind, trying to get a handle on what was happening, particularly in regards to Atlantis.
