//------------------------------// // C.M. Coxswain, ??? // Story: The Gilderoy Expedition // by PaulAsaran //------------------------------// The ship’s going down! It can’t go down, that thing is still out there, and in the storm I can’t let this happen. The ship is rocking. Something to do with the envelope, maybe? I can’t tell from here. Damn it, if only I could talk to Rusty about this! There’s nothing for it. My only chance is to make a break for the bridge and figure things out. I don’t know if anypony else is left alive or if the ship is even salvageable at this point, but I have to do something. I know those ugly things are still roaming around. It’s their fault. It’s got to be. I’ll kill any that get in my way. My name is Coxswain. That’s it, just Coxswain. Graduate of Celestia’s School of Gifted Unicorns, Chief Mate of the Aurora Dawn, and a loyal officer of Princess Cadance’s Northern Royal Air Navy. I’m leaving behind all my notes and studies on what we, the crew of the Aurora Dawn, encountered on the Matti Ths Aioniotitas Glacier. If I don’t make it, and there are indeed no other survivors, then I hope whoever finds this can make use of it. Do not go to the glacier. Do not make our mistake. Let it sleep.
