Meanwhile elsewhere Nathan and Prince Wolthar were guests aboard the wondrous Farraday submarine the
Beaverbrook.
King Aeyric was well aware his stepbrother Wolthar had as good a claim to the
Sky Kingdom throne as he and to avoid the possibility of a civil war had commissioned the
three Farraday sisters Dorothea,Sera the Younger and Marie
to take the Beaverbrook and go look for some Long Lost
Continent the late King Cluud's douchebag of a son could be made Governor of.
The Long Lost Continent was reputed to be overflowing with
the proverbial milk and honey
but more importantly intrusions of Magic Ore
from the Material Plane.
The partly anthro eagle Aeyric figured if Wolthar
enjoyed the good life
"over there"
there'd be no need to hire Slar the Mercenary to assassinate
Aeyrics potential rival.
The Farraday sisters had improved the Beaverbrooks
Electrostatic Bodyswap Forcefield Holographic Projection system
over the last six months and so
in that Courtroom watching the Bookkeeper WereSerpent tattle
on his former boss Issac the Corrupted was
one of Dorothea's avatar electrostatic bodies
and what the flickering
holograph saw in the Courtroom
was beamed back to the Beaverbrook and
displayed on a HoloVision
which Nat and Nathan sat glued to
12 hours a day.
Nathan was nervous
for though he had known nothing of his associates
"Murders for Money"
there was always the unsettling possibility he would be implicated
in these additional horrific crimes by Issac
So Nathan after watching Issac leap out of the Prisoners Box and try
to kill the Were Serpent a second time
knew it was time to hedge his bets.
