Nick sat down in his captain's quarters, looking at a map of the world. Each river had a green or red dot on it. He smiled. "LFR!" He called. The one wheeled robot woke up and went over to him. "We're going to Duran Grand. I need a favor from a mercenary."

Nathan and Sully trekked through the huge city of Duran Grand, heading back to their house. Sully's arms were full of food, whereas Nathan carried a heavy box that rested easily on his shoulder. Nathan looked back at his little brother, who was lagging slightly a behind. A light smile came onto to Nate's face, "You okay back there?" Sully grunted in response, too winded to reply.

Suddenly, an airship flew in low next to the brothers' house. It anchored with a THUD.

Already inside the house, Sully lifted a shaky finger towards the window, pointing at the airship. "Nate..."
Nate looked over from the box he was unpacking. "I'll take care of this, bro," Nathan said as he walked out, ruffling his brother's hair as he pass him. He stood in front of the airship.

Nick slid down the anchor line. LFR followed.
Nick smiled. "Hello, mate!" He said in a happy tone. He wore his sailor outfit and held a saber.

Nathan nodded to Nick, his arms folded over his chest, "Is there any reason you just about dropped your anchor on my house?"

"Oh. Yeah I remember. Why?"

"Well, one, it was very warm and made a great pelt, thanks, and two. I know I can rely on you. So I have another favor."

"I want you to go and try to find pure water sources and to bring me ice core samples of each. " He handed him a map.

Nick looked down at the map, nodding, "All right. I guess my brother and I could try to do that for you."

"I suggest you look at the rivers with the green dots and go upstream."

He nodded, "Simple enough. Do you have something for us to keep these samples in?"

Nathan shrugged, and followed, nimbly scaling the anchor line.

A few minutes later, Nick burst oout, holding about 12 long tubes. "After a revelutionary idea, I decide to come with you!"

"We can use this ol' gal to get around." He patted the ship's rail.

Boxes landed on the deck with a loud thud. Nathan and Sully came up shortly after the boxes, Sully yawning.
