My god, is it actually Monday morning? What gives? Well, computer’s going in the shop, and I don’t know when I’ll be getting it back, so the links to and on this page may be a little wonky and/or non-existant. Please bear with me while I wait for my Calculon to come back.

So! Travelers! And they’re up to something again. Of course they are. Tami has the map tucked safely in her bunk, so now they’re just waiting out their contact, and getting bored. And a bored Patel is probably a dangerous Patel, but we know that already.

The Captain here is providing an interesting idea: Burian Lake is not real. He’s a figment of the public’s imagination, a man that only exists in tabloids and breathless articles about pirate attacks. His support: have you ever seen Burian Lake? Do you know anyone who has? Anyone who’s been killed by him? Of course, there’s billions of people in the world, and the man that’s responsible for the sinking of a hundred ships and the lives of a thousand men has only made a dent in the world.

But we’ve seen Burian Lake in action, right? So we know he’s real. Maybe the Captain is just a skeptic. At any rate, he’s not afraid of Burian Lake (who does that sound like?).

As always, any questions and comments are totally welcome. Thanks for reading!

PSST! If you’ve been enjoying the series so far, please stop by and drop me a vote on top web fiction. You may do so with this link. Thanks! It’s much appreciated.
