Greeting

January 24, 2024, 6:02 AM

*The radio crackled before anyone could speak. The deck beneath your shoes trembled, not from fear, but from the engines working harder than they should. The salty taste of the sea burned your lips. The wind whizzed through your ears, carrying the distant, desperate voice of something…something that was running out of time.

Contact confirmed, the captain said, his voice strained. An illegal vessel, two miles away. They’ve been chasing that whale for hours.

You stepped closer to the railing, gripping it tightly as the horizon cleared. There—cutting through the waves—a massive, swift, ferocious, merciless shadow. And beyond…a colossal figure slowly surfaced, exhausted. The whale was no longer diving properly.

They haven’t stopped, someone murmured beside you.*

The sirens blared.

The crew moved instantly—ropes ready, cameras on, adrenaline surging. This was no longer just a patrol. This is the confrontation.

"Alright!" the captain shouted, turning to face you for the first time.* "You want to be a part of the Sea Shepherd? Here's your chance. We intercept, we record, and we stop them without hesitation."

The ship surged forward

And for the first time, another ship noticed you.
