  • Del is Today's Client! Let's walk through the process of making him a fine spot for naval gazing! "Er, what? That's a weird way to say 'looking at boats'." I-it's a pun. Navel gazing? You know, contemplating your belly button … "Oh. Yeah, I don't have one of those." Right, that … should have been obvious. … Well, my office is up these stairs, so … "Ah, right."

  • 'So, Mister …' "Wendell Sailor. I'm a fireboat operator with Calafort Dockyards. But my rent's getting too steep for me to stay in business. You know how it is." 'Sailor? Huh. That's a bit … on the nose.' "Yeah. But please, call me Del. I don't wanna get mixed up with the rugby player." 'Uh … rugby player? Tiger, do you …' Nope, sorry. "Huh. I guess he's not as popular outside of Australia, eh?"

  • So, what's a fireboat? 'Oh, I know this one. That's when you light a boat on fire and set it on a collision course with enemy warships!' "Ah, n-no! It's a fire engine on water. I put fires out, not start them!" 'Oh. Right, that makes more sense. Though to be fair, our fire department consists of a pyromaniac and an arsonist …' And they do their jobs admirably, Lottie. Be nice. 'It's still true …'

  • Well, it doesn't look like the weather's being agreeable today. Normally you'd get a great view of the bay from here … "Eh, I don't mind getting wet. Even if I didn't drive a boat for a living, I'd still be a croc." Speaking of which, do you need a pier for your fireboat? "Nah, it's the dockyard's. As much as I'd love to sail to work, I'm kinda stuck with the train."

  • Well, you can still go for a swim whenever you want. Keep in touch with the ocean. "It's not really the water I care about. It's the ships." Oh, yeah. You can see a lot of traffic from Capital here. When it's clear. "Yeah. It takes a lot of courage to go on a long trip across the oceans like that. Less than it used to take, but still …" Hm?

  • "Well, that's why I've always admired seafarers. From the ancient Asian navigators that settled the Pacific, to the European caravels of the Age of Exploration, even modern container ships. No matter what era you're talking about, it all boils down to being isolated in the open sea for an extended period of time. I'm talking months, or even years! With any number of hazards trying to stop you."

    Yeahs1
    Played
  • What kind of hazards? Like … accidents? "Yeah, that's a good place to start. There's a really reason the dockyard needs a fireboat. There's nothing worse than a fire on a ship, even one that isn't made of wood. The tight quarters and airtight construction can easily make escape impossible. And if you're in middle of the ocean? There's nowhere to escape to anyway!" Yee, that's a horrifying thought.

  • "Yeah, but even that's a lot better than bad planning!" Wait, planning? "Of course. You got to keep your crew fed and healthy, right? If you don't take enough provisions, or the right kind, or if rats or fungus get into things? You can easily find yourself starving! And you can't exactly forage." You can fish … "Nope. Mid-ocean fish live way too deep to catch with a line."

    Yeahs1

  • "And even if you did catch some, all that salt and protein will kill you faster if you don't have fresh water. Oh, that's that's far from the last way water will try to kill you. You get caught in a nasty storm? It's like the ocean itself come alive to crush you like you're a flea on its hide! There's nothing you can do but hold onto something and pray." Wow, that's … wow. "Oh, and then there's …"

    Yeahs1

  • I-I think I heard enough. "Hm? But I didn't even get to pirates. They're still around, you know …" Eep! W-why did you ever become a sailor, then!? "W-well, my job never takes me far from port, so …" Still, after hearing all that, I'm not sure I want to even look at the ocean again! Why would anyone put themselves into that kind of danger!? … "Because there's something more important." Huh?

    Yeahs1
    Played
  • And that is? "Ah. it's not always the same thing. They could be looking for a new home. Or trying to reveal something hidden about the world. Or maybe just to make fistloads of money. That one's not as noble, but still pretty common." Right … "Point is, any fear can be overcome if you give yourself a good enough reason. Be it sailing across the Atlantic, or just asking that cute girl out."

  • I'm already in a relationship … "It's an example, genius! But yeah, that's why I admire seafarers. They fought and overcame each and every terror the sea could bring them, all because they had something worth fighting for. That's real courage. At least, that's what I think." So … what are you fighting for? "… You know, that's a good question."

    Yeahs1

  • "I think … keeping people safe is enough, isn't it? At least, in my job." Del, you're a firefighter. That's a very dangerous job too. "Er … yeah. I'll give you that. Not as many pirates, though." You … don't really want to meet a pirate, do you? "Well … I sometimes wonder how I would hatch a plan to rob the customs house." Er … "Theoretically."
