Aberrant Adventures


Prologue | Next Chapter

A man named Otto

Captain Romanov sat in his quarters while the Neo Genesis touched down on the New York beach, no one knew for sure as to why the ship is to land except the Captain. On Captain Romanov's previous visit to the grounds of New York a few weeks ago, he had met a fellow named Otto Walter, a German immigrant who had become his friend and was very much like Mr. Romanov himself, almost as if they were brothers. Otto had once come onto the Neo Genesis before but no one had noticed him but he had a tendency to remember anyone he saw and vanished back onto the grounds of America.
Back to Captain Romanov sitting, staring out the window. "It was for the best," was all he muttered in Russian. While sitting there looking out the window to the beautiful sun setting sky, he slowly drew his flintlock and aimed it to his head. "Hello again my family," he said in Russian with a smile and all you heard was a gunshot across the ship as it burned around the now dead captain.

Otto Walter, along the coast, watched the Neo Genesis touch down and heard the gunshot. "In time my Russian brother," he whispered in German. Otto headed to the Neo Genesis and waited for it to touch ground. Walking down the beach, he spotted a clinic and saw people staring out of the windows, watching the ship set down. He finally reached the Neo Genesis and boarded for his second time. He strode around and at the end of his trip he is in Captain Romanov's quarters. He scavenged a couple of the Captain's belongings out of the safe, then walked over to the dead captain and grabbed the flintlock out of his hand, holstering it into his own sash, and bade the dead captain farewell and walked off the ship into a small nearby town.
