Description
Special thanks to NefariousDrO for the ship done in Bryce...thanks Michael! TG .9.43, LunarCell moon and postwork sharpening in PSP7...
The Captain was agitated…the navigator came in too hot and left a trail large enough to be seen by any ship in this system. With a quick check of deep sensors he breathed a sigh of relief… no other ships scanned. The Captain’s eyes squinted as he noticed a storm had blown away the sand from his hideout. The crew would have to work extra hard to quickly unload the booty and cover it over with sand. He smiled as he realized he could place the navigator in charge of the detail ensuring he was the last man on the sand…left behind as punishment for his hurried decision of marking their location. The crew would get the message… the Captain demanded perfection and attention to detail. The Captain’s smile quickly faded as finding a new trusted pilot/navigator would take a while…still…he and his crew were rich…but not now…later… when the heat cooled off…he could sell these riches on the black market and retire. Retirement…ahhh… would he ever make it? The only thing he was sure of was…the navigator would soon be retired. He tossed his head back in a deep, strong and long laugh. The rest of the crew joined in… somewhat nervously. The captain shouted…”Detail… rack and stack…navigator’s in charge…bury the booty and cover it over with sand…we’re rich boys”!!

retirement... what's that? lol... A story and a ship. Nice. this looks like dust to dust... you gonna get into story telling? If you are and you bring up your pictures as backgroungs, you aught to name you planets... DUSTRIGHTUS... that's what I'd name this planet. DUST from yesterdays upload RIGHT US because it sounds like artist and it was right to make you artist of the month.... Just some ideas that went throught the head while viewing.
