So to take a breather at this point in the plot
There was Miss Clare Winchclyffe,failed veterinarian,sitting at a sensor station
who still had a hatred and thoughts of revenge against
Doctor Mark Hyde,human turned feral dragoness.Due to all those
sensors Clare now knew more about Mark as a monster then she'd ever known about him
as a fellow vet student in Dr Schinkelmeyers Disection 401 class
So she was quietly pushing buttons on that computer in front of her,sending
files and data on what makes a feral dragoness tick into
her private encrypted folders.
There was Dr Mark Hyde,now a full fledged feral dragoness
somewhere on the island.Up to this point Mark really had been drifting through life with no real
conflicta and problems worth mentioning,but turning into a 50 foot long flame breathing
female firedrake was probably going to give her/it some new challenges in life,either as a monster,a man who occassionally turned a monster or simply having landed on the Island
There was Captain,happy as a clam,no more paperclip pushing.After about 240 years
he could finally change the popular image of his ancestor as a swaggering jerk who cared more for breadfruit plants
then his crew.
There was the Wop Mays crew,who hadn't signed up for this kind of
(mis)adventure
And there were Tom and Dick,zipped up in their survival suits,floating about in the vast storm tossed seas,pretty clueless
about where they were in all those mountainous waves.Staying aboard the launch with the man turning into
a monster now seemed a better idea then having leapt overboard
The two were Lost at Sea
Jack Tarr and Harry Jones,two of the sailors on shore leave who had brought the monster aboard
that had now led to 1000 ships crew being stuck in a
storm tossed sea near a mysterious island ,possibly in a alternate plane of existence
Getting hostile looks from some of the unhappy crew
