In which our heroes find a clue to where their missing family could be.
Update [ 01 | 05 ] :
Hey all, so I've finally come out of my pandemic cave (and I've been doing so fine) and convinced myself to continue this project. I recently lost my creative footing due to the almost calamities that was 2020 and the rest of its offsprings.
Thank you all that have been following thus far and are still genuinely interested in what I write.

Excerpt:
A man is lowered down into the sea, his hand anxiously holds the railing of the diving stage while the steel cage sinks its way down towards the open depths of the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The crew of 'The Fool's Bounty' had planned their voyage to deliver equipment to the solar farms of Antarctica months in advance, wanting to steer clear of storms only to find themselves in the middle of one over night. Naval Cadet Whit Ness is asked to stay above, keeping an eye on the weather and waves surrounding them as well as taking the control of the helm for the night. Left alone on the deck, the young crewmate sails "The Fool's Bounty" smoothly through the sudden downpour they've encountered. Whit begins to think the storm will let on soon, but as they say about the sky being as fickle as the sea.

appearance: The youngest of the Bisons' & Daughters crew, Peri Bison is the Latina engineering legacy. She keeps her black straight hair short, partly due to safety protocols and also due to the accidents at her facility that produce said protocols. Whether all those accidents are all done by her, Peri can't say without her lawyer present.
