All at once, an incoming boat made its presence known. As though a switch was flipped, there was the sound of something that sounded like the combined noise of radio static coming from a bank of speakers, an eighteen wheeler with the muffler off and an onrushing train.
Woah.
It wasn’t just noise – the vehicle flickered with flashes of electricity and lights that people could probably see from anywhere downtown.
Surprise! It’s the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000!
Anyway, could this be Trainwreck? Or are we looking at the introduction of one or more new characters here?
It would seem odd for Trainwreck to be given this much attention unless he’s more important than ever before in this chapter.
Seeing it approach, I had no doubt it was a tinker contraption. It was the size of a small yacht,
Well at least the word “yacht” did make it into the chapter! It’s the little victories…
but it looked outfitted for war, with what looked like tesla coils crossed with old school tv antennae fueling its forward momentum and sending arcs of electricity dancing over the waves in its wake, as though it was riding on a current of lightning.
Huh. Maybe I wasn’t too far off in jokingly comparing it to the weird-looking mechanical vehicle/contraption that is the SSCS 6k. Does this thing make apple cider?
Also, is this Chariot, risking his (already compromised, unbeknownst to him) cover by hanging out with the villains?
That doesn’t seem quite right. I think my money’s on a new character for now.
Various guns had been placed haphazardly around the upper deck, each manned by a Merchant. Skidmark stood at the highest deck with Squealer, the driver.
Ahh.
Of course they’d have a vehicle tinker.
