Intro – Boarding the Queen Zenobia


Time: 6:08 pm
Location: Mediterranean Sea

Lightning flashed across the dark stormy skies as rain poured into the raging seas of the Mediterranean Sea. Thunder softly rumbled after it. A small boat powered its way through the surging waves. On it were two BSAA agents, Jill Valentine, one of the co-founders of the anti-bioterrorism organization and former member of the Federal Bioterrorism Commission, Parker Luciani. He joined the BSAA soon after the Terragrigia Panic of 2004.

Jill was sitting down somewhere in the ship, looking down at her handgun, seemingly deep in thought about something. In fact, she looked a little... troubled. Her thumb brushed over the barrel of the gun as a subtle sigh escaped her lips.

'I hope you're ok…' she thought in her mind.

"Hey Jill!" A British-Italian male voice broke her out of her thoughts and she looked up. Holstering her gun into its cradle, she went to the control room and looked out the window. A huge silhouette could be seen on the horizon, lit up by the lightning that flashed once again. Wanting a closer look, she stepped out into the pouring rain that pounded their small boat's deck, her footsteps splashing through the water that accumulated. She shielded her eyes for a moment from the lashing rain to get a better look at what she was seeing.

A huge cruise ship met her sight and Jill's eyes went wide at the amazing sight. "Incredible," she said in awe.

Parker noticed her surprised look and nodded. "The Queen Zenobia…" he confirmed as he steered the ship closer to the colossal cruise. "This thing is lucky to be afloat, he added to Jill.

Turning on her comm system, Jill turned to Parker. "Take us around. Let's find a boarding point." He nodded in acknowledgement and steered the ship closer to the starboard side. The rain was blocked by its sheer size, lessening the effort to gaze up at the ship.

'I hope you're here,' she thought again as a determined look came into her eyes as she gripped the wet railing.

They came to a stop and Parker stepped out to meet her. Firing zip lines onto the railing of the Queen Zenobia, they were carried upwards until they came to, what seemed to be, the back of the ship. They climb over and land on the deck, drawing their guns.

"So tell me Jill, who is it that we are looking for?" asked Parker, looking towards his partner.

"It's a little complicated to explain. But let's just say he and I have been together for a few years now. He went on a mission to investigate an odd report he got and well… I haven't seen him since," Jill replied as the two made their way towards the door ahead of them.

"So that explains the ring on your finger," Parker pointed out and Jill nodded with a small smile. "Yeah. We got married a couple of years ago. It wasn't a big wedding, but it was great."

Parker gave her a pat on the shoulder. "At least you found your happiness," he said sincerely.

Jill nodded to him in thanks. "Thanks, Parker. Now… let's get this mission done and find him," she said, cocking her gun.
