OHOHO HAHA
There once was a ship that put to sea. The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea...
WOOO YEAH!
What’s that? A castaway!
Ahoy!
Drop the sails!
It's OK. You’re in shock.
Here, grab on!
Hm? Show me your hands, Castaway.
Don’t fear, you’re saved. Just hold tight and we’ll--
--cursed! It’s an ill omen, Bessie. A promise of doom!
Oh, Thomas. Are you so superstitious?
Yes!
I believe in fact and evidence. That is the point of our current expedition.
What about the hand?
I have no idea what you are talking about!
The mark on the hand! I know you saw it.
Thomas... go and help Audrey. We’ll be departing soon, and I must see to our castaway.
Aye.
Ah! You’re awake. We couldn’t rouse you for the entire journey.
Quite an array of curiosities, hm? By all means, take a closer look.
Tell me, do you remember anything? What happened to your ill-fated vessel?
A shame.
Oh! I’ve forgotten all my formalities.
I’m Dr. Bessie Bennett, Captain of the Bellerophon. We pulled you from the ocean.
Come, join me outside for some fresh air.
She’s a fine vessel, the Bell. With a finer crew.
I think you can help us. And perhaps help yourself at the same time.
Also, our deckhand called in sick today.
We seek a treasure unlike anything you could possibly imagine.
Show me you’re up to the task. Head down to the docks and help Audrey load some cargo.
Well, hey sleeping beauty.
Captain convinced you to lend a hand, huh? You can start by helping with these barrels.
Just roll ‘em over to Bessie.
That’s it, keep going Rookie.
I’m Audrey. Ship Engineer. Though, I don’t exactly have my sea-legs yet.
I've got it.
Bessie brought me on to install some special upgrades to Belly.
Oh, you’re gonna love them! Well, most of them.
Good!
By the way, how long can you hold your breath? Are you claustrophobic? No reason.
Well, you can take directions. That’s a start.
Head back up to the ship and talk to Thomas, he’ll show you the ropes. Literally.
I hear you’ll be setting sail with us.
I suppose with a scientist and engineer for company, I would welcome any reprieve from incessant logic.
I’m Thomas. Pleasure to meet you. My job is to keep the Bell sailing towards our destination true. The sea calls, and I listen.
Head to the fore, we’ll start by raising anchor.
Grab the crank and turn it with all your might!
Put your back into it, sailor!
You’re stronger than you look! Alright, now we must raise the mainsail to leave port. Meet me upstairs by the helm.
Take hold of this rope and keep pulling to raise the mainsail.
Just get her half-way up.
Try again, keep your eyes on the rope.
That’s enough. Now you need to secure the rope around the cleat in front of you.
Wrap it around each prong.
That’ll hold. Now, wait for the breeze...
We’re away! Ha-ha!
Setting sail for Ocean Deep!
Welcome to the crew, Castaway. Here, come take the helm.
The sea beckons me to paint her.
See the way the light shimmers on the water, does it not inspire you?
Ah! Feel that breeze. We need to re-angle the jib, head over to Audrey.
Did Thomas send you?
You gotta wind the crank to reangle the sail.
Perfect. There she blows!
Come down here! Let's move some barrels.
Maybe I should paint our sail... Aubergine might do.
But it’s not the same.
Are you prattling on about your “lost muse” again, Thomas?
It’s a cat. His “muse” is a cat.
Yes, he’s a cat.
He was my beloved friend, but his family moved away...
I’ll be alright once I find Ocean Deep.
No one’s seen it. I’ll be the first to paint it. I’ll do it for Pompom.
Quickly! unfurl the sails, we need to stop the ship!
We’ve lost a lot overboard. We need those supplies.
We’ll handle it, go update BESSIE.
Here’s my favorite toy!
Isn’t she beautiful? I can’t be the only one who knows how to use her, so let’s get you up to speed.
It’s easy--grab those handles to aim and pull that lever to load the harpoon.
Once you’re happy with your aim, yank that lever and send it flying.
Look at her go!
See that crank on the side? Give it a wind to retrieve the harpoon.
You’ve got the hang of it, Rookie. Grab the rest of that cargo.
I’m going to see if there’s any damage to the Bell.
Pretty fun, eh? Head back down here rookie, I need a hand.
The wind sure has a mind of its own, it’s made Thomas uneasy. Mind using that spyglass to check for any inclement weather?
Guess you were right, Thomas.
I can almost smell the storm in the air. We don't have much time.
I had better secure the cargo. We wouldn't want a repeat of earlier now, would we?
I’m hogging the wheel, why don’t you give piloting a go!
There was a storm the last time I voyaged toward Ocean Deep.
Although... there might have been more to that STORM than meets the eye...
It nearly took me, but I'm too stubborn.
Now! That's enough of that huh! We have plenty to do before the storm hits.
Hey, you two! Stop faffing about, help me tie this down.
I’ve got this side; you can handle hooking that side down.
That should do the trick.
Aye, not too shabby Rookie.
The storm ahead looks like a beast.
It’s beautiful really. Begging to be painted.
Brace yourself. She’s about to hit.
You both will drop anchor. I will need to re-tie the main sail. I will meet you in the cabin when you are done.
Imagine that all it takes is one new piece of technology...
To transform the world, I mean.
I hope...No. I KNOW. What's waiting in Ocean Deep is a piece of machinery that will do just that.
We have to hurry, or we will be swept away. GO! I’m right behind you.
Is everyone ok?
Any longer out there and I would have gone overboard.
This cannot go wrong. We NEED to find Ocean Deep.
I refuse to let a little storm stop us. We will wait it out. No matter how long it takes.
It seems the worst has passed.
All hands back on deck.
Let’s check what state the ole Bell is in.
This fog is like nothing I've seen before.
Castaway, come look.
What's that?
Man overboard!
AHHHHHHHHH!
Grab the life buoy and toss it to Thomas.
Rookie! Get over here.
Stay with me. I need you not to panic.
When I last ventured, I KNEW something had to have sunk my boat.
...If only Bessie had believed me.
Alright! I hope you're ready. Here’s the plan.
I’ve rigged the deck with a substance I concocted. Every time the kraken hits the deck its tentacles get weakened.
I need you to hit these tentacles with the harpoon.
I’m going to work on plan B.
Bessie! Are the preparations complete?
Aye!
And you followed my exact instructions?
I certainly hope so.
I need you both standing over there distracting the kraken while I try to get the harpoon in shipshape.
You heard her castaway, go wave your hands around or something!
OVER HERE YOU BESCUMBER.
I wonder if I'm going to need a bigger ship for us...
That’s it. Keep going!
OI, YOU ZONDERKITE FIND YOUR OWN OCEAN!
Just one more tweak...
She’s once again ready for action!
I’ve set her up with a secret weapon of mine, it should be potent enough to send this kraken away.
Are you sure this is going to work?
Have I ever been wrong?
I guess not...
Bessie and I will lure kraken's head to the surface, that’s when you, Rookie, send it to the depths.
Audrey... I’m sorry. I should have trusted you.
I know... It’s ok. You were great out there.
You too. We did it.
Now! We should probably find Thomas...
Let's head to mid deck.
You drove it off. I thought the depths were going to take me.
But not this day. I have yet more masterpieces to put to canvas. Thanks to you.
Go, leave me. It looks like Bessie needs you.
Have you noticed that everyone on this crew seeks something different at Ocean Deep?
For Thomas, inspiration. For Audrey, the promise of a great machine.
My research has concluded that... they’re both right. For whoever finds Ocean Deep will be granted what their heart desires most.
But only you can retrieve it. You bear the mark. Look at your hand... we’re here.
It’s time! Here; give me a hand with this, rookie.
Give this a crank with me.
Okay, ready? Let’s go!
Here’s something special I put together. Guaranteed to keep the water out of your lungs!
Well, probably. I haven’t tested it.
Audrey...
It’ll be fine! Get inside and I’ll run you through it.
OK, turn the wheel to seal the hatch!
The sea bekons me to paint her
See the way the light shimmers on the water does it not inspite u
Ahh feel that breze angle the gib etc...
