Captain Barnacles Novels & Stories

Captain Vex died at 4:47 AM. Jack was in his second anchor shift when Dr. Miller's emergency alert cut through the Bridge's harmonic hum. The captain of the Architect's Hope, the woman who had piloted a clockwork ship through dimensional fractures to deliver a warning, had been declining steadily since her arrival. Mirror sickness, compounded by physical injuries sustained during the transit. Marcus's Guardian density field had been keeping her stable, but Marcus was anchoring the Bridge, and the amplifier was offline.

It feels like a heavy and painful weight is sitting on my chest. "I'm here. Hey I'm here Let me shift all of this, bandage you up and send you back, okay. It will be just fine, okay" "Not me. Don't save me; go get captain. I'm stuck." I look over at Captain, who is out cold with a tonne of debris all over him.

Sandra: Oh! You're a marine! That's so manly. But isn't it dangerous? Victor: Not really. It’s more paperwork than anything else. We’re on the sea most of the time, avoiding enemy waters, so it’s pretty chill. Sandra: That made you ten times more attractive to me. It’s funny, but I feel like you hold an important position, too. Victor: Yeah. I’m the captain. Sandra: That makes so much sense. You looked like you were the boss of something in your pictures. Are you a good captain, though? Take good care of your men?

“There he is.” “Son of a bitch. There he is. Right there,” the captain shook his head in disbelief. “Give me a name.” “Philip Carson.”

The four commanders sit down across from the Kea females who were first in line, and the announcer clears his voice. "Next up are the Captains. There are quite a few, so ages and achievements will have to be something you find out yourselves, ladies. Let's begin. Capt. Cull- Shikazs, Capt. Moor- Gaimo, Capt. Tilk- Bronkark, Capt. Bolis- Vaal, Capt. Nole- Bronkark, Capt. Terrax- Glortinon, Capt. Het- Makskin... With each name, my fear grows. These aliens are twice the size of their female counterparts, and they don't look friendly. They don't necessarily look mean either, but I can tell they have killed. Their bodies and demeanor say power. A power that I could never dream of matching.

His cloak fell back into place and Shaun barely saw the captain's emblem on his chest. "I am Captain Aaron, how dare you grab me?" He pulled his hand back and swung his arm back to backhand Shaun. His hand only hit the air as Shaun leaned back, avoiding it. Immediately, the sound of chairs and tables being moved was heard as people cleared space around them. Shaun and the captain started to circle each other; the captain was clearly enraged, but Shaun remained calm. When the door was behind him, Shaun stopped circling wanting to drag this encounter outside to avoid damaging the tavern property.

"Then what is it? The captain got drunk and is about to crash into an iceberg? A rock maybe?" "Not that either, that happened once and will never happen again, I told you a new captain took over the ship after what the previous one did" Sir Roberts said . Nancy rolled her eyes, "Then what? A giant crocodile or shark is eating people on board?" "Ahh, you have a wide imagination running. All your guesses were of bad things, can't you think of one good news?" Nancy relaxed a bit, with hands akimbo now, she asked, "What good thing could possibly come from a ship on board? I can't think of anything else, how about you just tell me now!"

The tall one had blonde hair, brown eyes, a bag over his shoulders and daring look while the other had blue hair with blue eyes, his face was cute, like a fallen angel. “That’s Emory and Marsh, Emory is the captain of the hockey team” Xyla whispered in my eyes, it felt like talking about them openly would inquire consequences. I looked over at them, their seat were aligned. Emory sat behind Marsh. A part of the hockey team, I thought about it, seeing them made me excited, I couldn’t wait to apply for the hockey team. “Marsh is the right defenseman” Adele added. I nodded, then she leaned closer.

Seawater had become Calamity Water. Only a very small number of people awakened special abilities and became favored by what was left of humanity. I looked at him and gave a noncommittal nod. "You can make things in the sea listen to you?" Captain White guessed, glancing at the jellyfish I had caught. "Only small, harmless things." I was not stupid enough to reveal everything. I kept my real cards hidden. Captain White stroked his beard and thought for a moment. "There's an old leaking barge being towed behind the fleet. We were going to tear it apart for firewood."

"This idiot thought it was a good idea to insult Cassian in the locker room. Said some garbage about how Cassian only gets the captaincy because of his dad's name. So, we had to remind him how the hierarchy works around here. I rolled my eyes again, the sheer pettiness of their cruelty making me sick to my stomach. I opened my mouth to say something biting, to point out how fragile their egos were, but I quickly changed my mind. I couldn't afford to defend someone else when my own ship was sinking. "That's not why I'm here," I said, my voice steadying as I looked directly at Cassian. Cassian’s smile morphed into a sharp, intrigued smirk. He crossed his legs again, leaning back into the expen
