Warning! - The Cake is a lie...
- This is a fictional tour -
If you
are reading this now, who knows where I’ll be. I might be in a Vietnamese
prison, your neighborhood Italian restaurant, or even right behind you this
very minute. A pirate’s life is a wonderful life. As a scientific pirate, I can
see the natural marvels of the planet in complete safety.
My name
is Delmond Conagher, and here’s my story.
I am a scientific pirate, which just
means I live a pirate’s life in the name of science, mostly on land, that is. Most
people call me Dell, but you can call me Don. I have degrees in mechanical
engineering in various colleges across the United States of America, as well as
one in my own garage. As you can tell, I like to build things. Building has
always been my passion, and it always will be.
So how,
you might ask, did you become a scientific pirate who studies tectonics?
It all
happened when I was in the middle of a multi-million dollar project in Los
Angeles creating a transportable multi-heal mechanism for the US army. As I was
finishing up the final details, an earthquake rocked our city. One of the
crucial parts of the system got seriously damaged, requiring time to fix. At the
moment, I was infuriated, when one of my coworkers, Mr. Mundy, said that it was
all part of the Earth’s natural mechanics. Mechanics? I figured it was time to
go see some of these mechanics in the flesh. It would certainly make its mark
in the long list of things engineering on my résumé, and I would also get a chance to "pirate" some cool things along the way.
