This Shoal, which once could be considered the crowning jewel of any merchant fleet, is showing its age through scars from a neglectful captain. With the crew of shard drones offering little company, the captain became increasingly reclusive, spending his time tinkering with the shard drones and attempting magical feats from tomes collected in faraway ports. Both the Shoal and its captain’s mind seemed to degrade alongside one another as the years went by. Long after either ship or captain were in their prime, a couple of travellers asked to hitch a ride to the next port. This being the first company the captain had taken along with him, he had vastly underestimated how attached he would become to their social interaction. He didn’t want them to leave. Of course he knew he couldn't keep them hostage, how would he have kept it a secret when crews would be on and off loading cargo at every port. Then he had an idea. What if you could put someone's “personality” inside a shard drone?! He knew the drones inside and out, and maybe there was a book somewhere that could give him some ideas on how to get things done. Although uncertain about if he could really pull it off, he most definitely would try. With all the time between ports, the only issue was whether he would run out of drones before he ran out of “personalities.” This nugget was printed in resin on a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K in A LOT of small pieces. Huge thanks to my friend Clay for taking the photos!
