"Upon seeing Yaguaraçú Chaska for the first time I got the impression of a legendary sword that had yet to be forged." - Exerpt from Profile of Yaguaraçú Chaska: The Steel Man in Spyglass Magazine by Zenit Basquiat.
"You're the reporter?" The Captain asked Zenit in the same tone someone would ask if a growth was malignant.
"THE Reporter would be Big News Morgan. I am merely a working class purveyor of words embedded in your agust crew."
The disdain on the man's face made it seem that malignant growth had just run away with his wife, but it was just the latest of his annoyances.
"Stay out of the way. If you die or get sick we're throwing you overboard."
The salute that the bald reporter in the round sunglasses snapped was far too practiced and precise to be taken for mockery, but it still felt that way to the put upon Captain.
"O' Captain, My Captain!"
As much as Zenit wanted to claim he landed a spot as an embedded reporter due to his unrivalled charisma, his elder sibling being in Marine Intelligence and quite the string puller saw the benefit of being owed a favor by a human camera.
The photojournalist had no idea what the subscription number of his self-published magazine "Spyglass" was but it was sure to be doubled or tripled with a Marine Exclusive article.
That would boost his subscribers to eleven or even possibly twelve.
Zenit felt his nerves tickle a little while being led to the rest of the Captain's crew and put a finger on his holstered revolver on his left side as a reassurance. His secondary reassurance was a mutton-chopped lemming perched on his right shoulder sporting a skull festooned cowboy hat of black pinned with a silver skull.
Of the two, Kilmister the lemming was the most fashion conscious.
He was led to a mess hall with nearly a dozen men noisily eating. Zenit stood on a chair and raised his fists as well as his voice.
"My name is Zenit Basquiat, photojournalist! Who Wants to be Famous?!"
