Our Commodore, ever vigilant.
I agree good Sir.
Thank you good Doctor. Warm greetings to you on this fine day.
((Plus some of them can fly))
Thank you for posting this. Nice photos.
The main event was the submarine races?
*Starts thinking to himself how he would go about building this thing.*
I apologize Dear Lady.
This may well be a Steampunk armored vehicle.
Thought tanks are tracked vehicles, and this appears to have wheels.
*I guess I am a "tank snob" :)

Scientific Discovery in the Vernian Sea: Second Expedition

Then I saw him!

Scientific Discovery in the Vernian Sea
April 1881 - With some effort I was able to modify my rocket pack for underwater exploration. I also modified my high altitude respirator for this aquatic expedition.
I made one last check of my equipment before I submerged.

- Thank you for thinking of me last night! One never knows when a gas mask might come in handy, especially with sky pirates attacking and villainous sorts like Dr. O around! *smile*

- Hi, Osric! Nice chatting with you last night. I'm still half brain-dead from staying up too late, so I've forgotten the name of that program you were telling me about. Could you shoot me that link again? Merci mille fois! *smile*

- I checked out Sculptypaint over my lunch hour. Dude, you so rock! In fact, I'm thinking of wearing "Osric so rocks!" over my head in hovertext, only I'm afraid it will clash with my jewelry. *grin*
Seriously, I only had a short amount of time to play with it, but I'm really looking forward to poking around with it more once I get home. Thanks for the heads-up!
