Project: Far Harbor Chapter 6
AN1: A new year still filled with delays, but found some time to work on chapter 6 so here it is.
==1 Day Later – 0800 Hours – Coast Of Mount Desert Island==
Nora leaned out on the railing of the Constitution for the forth time this morning. Staring off into the murky fog that surrounded the island of Mount Desert Island. The previous day's travel had found the intelligence from the Cushing Island Marine/Naval base had pointed Project: Far Harbor to this island somewhere within Acadia national park. What they had found lead her to believe it was part of the submarine base there which again from the intelligence lead into the ocean somewhere below them. Nora was about to push herself off the railing when she was broken from her thoughts by strong warm arms wrapping themselves about her from behind. Immediately Nora recognized Glory's strong grip and embrace and relaxed leaning back into the Gen 4 Synth's arms. "..Cap for your thoughts?" Glory asked.
"..Not enough caps on board I think, love." Nora replied turning in Glory's grasp to embrace her in return. Resting her head on Glory's chest she took a moment to savor the warmth coming off her body from the chill of the Atlantic Ocean spray nearby.
"..How about a kiss then?" Glory replied with a teasing quality.
Leaning back a bit, Nora played coy but then smiled after a moment. "..A kiss huh? Well that might convince me." She said leaning in for the offered kiss. Glory was only too happy to return it.
After breaking away Nora gathered her thoughts, "..I'm concerned with the dangers this island might present the few fishermen boats we passed and communicated with didn't seem too excited to be hearing we were headed this way. What's your thoughts?" She asked.
"..I think you're overly worried. We've fought dangers of all kinds, numbers and with teamwork emerged victorious. We will do so again here." Glory replied brushing back Nora's lock of hair that had slipped loose in the chill wind. "..The fact remains my people need a place to settle, from what the fishermen said this island has no human inhabitants that anyone knows of. At least none left alive." She added. Referring to the rumors of a radiation filled fog which had stripped the island to the bone of anything living or not mutated it in some way.
"..True.." Nora mused. "..Well let's get everyone together and get prepped then, looks like we're coming into Bar Harbor's dock here now.." She said gesturing to the ghostly empty old fishing town.
"..Agreed, I'll go get everyone, is there anyone you want to remain on board?" Glory asked.
"..Not for now it's all hands on deck so to speak for this one.." Nora stated, turning back to face the ghostly town emerging from the fog ahead of them.
