The SS Warrimoo, A Passenger Steamship Traveling From Vancouver To Australia, Was Silently Knifing Its

The SS Warrimoo, a passenger steamship traveling from Vancouver to Australia, was silently knifing its way across the mid-Pacific waters. The navigator had just finished calculating a star fix and handed the results to Captain John DS. Phillips.

The Warrimoo's coordinates were LAT 0º 31' N, LONG 179 30' W. The date was December 31, 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton announced, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line."

Captain Phillips was prankish enough to seize the opportunity to do the nautical feat of a lifetime. He summoned his navigators to the bridge to double-check the ship's position. He altered his course slightly to focus directly on his target. He then altered the engine's speed.

The calm weather and clear night worked to his advantage. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo rested on the Equator, exactly where it had crossed the International Date Line. The ramifications of this odd arrangement were numerous.

The ship's bow was in the Southern Hemisphere, in the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the midst of winter. The date on the aft portion of the ship was December 31, 1899. The date on the forward half of the ship was January 1, 1900. The ship experienced multiple days, months, years, seasons, and centuries simultaneously.

Would you look at that, a northwoods midwesterner.

Dronetober writing prompt day 4.

Day 4: pumpkins. (Characters: Drone Tessa, and V )

“Hi, Tessa! I’ve not seen you since… well… the manor.” ”I’d rather you not bring that up, V. I was hoping we could get to know each other again while carving some pumpkins.” “How did you manage to get pumpkins to this planet?” “J’s still got company perks. Free, next-day shipping is one of ‘em.” V laughed at Tessa’s statement, “So that’s why you’re dating that [Bleep!]” “Ha, looks like you’ve still got that auto-censor I installed. J’s not so bad-” “Not so bad!?” V interjected, “She was awful! That [Bleep!] chopped off my [Bleep!]ing leg! She even worked for Cyn!” “V, chill. She had her reasons.” “Oh yeah, what reasons were those?” “That’s… personal. Maybe you should talk to her yourself.” “Oh I’ll talk to her alright, talk to her with this!” V said, shifting her right hand into a saber. “Please, let’s just put the past behind us and get to carving pumpkins. It’ll make us both feel better, V.”
