"Moving through water is a lot different than moving through air. You're going up against a lot more force and pressure, both of which increases the deeper down you go. Go too far down without the proper equipment, and you'll be in some big trouble."
"Now, considering we're going up against a whirlpool, that means we'll more than likely be going up against the flow. We'll be expending a great deal more energy than you would just swimming normally. Luckily, one of my cartridges is charged with the Water Breathing spell. Even with the three of us, that'll be two charges between all of us, and trust me...one will be more than enough."
Boa turns to Diurnal Course. "I...assume we'll have to get in the water to complete the job, yes?"

Boa lets out a hearty laugh, before hopping into the helicopter. "Now that's the spirit! Come on, lets get this show on the road!"
Boa has an intense look in his eyes as a smile forms across his face, one of pure excitement. "Enough sitting around, the sea awaits!"

Boa gives the Griffin a glare. His expression softens when he turns to Darkness. "I can't say I know how you feel. I can only imagine how it feels to be judged by what somepony wrote in a book."
Boa stands up, and smiles at her. "However. In my opinion? I think your pretty nice."

Boa sits back. "I haven't been to Manehattan in years, so I can't really say. My only connection to the big city is through my other store that an old friend of mine runs in my stead."
Boa looks at Darkness. "Why do you ask?"

Boa seems to lose a bit of his energy when he hears about how long it would take. "Ah..." He lets out a sigh, before looking up, smiling at Mr. Winks. "Well, guess it can't be helped. We'll get the job done."
He turns and leaves the office, walking out of the HQ and towards the helicopter pad. "A helicopter, eh? These ponies have more fancier toys than me. I'm gonna need to step my own game up." He lets out a chuckle.
Boa reaches the helicopter pad, seeing Darkness. He hops up onto the pad, taking a seat near her. "Been a pretty interesting few days, huh?"

When Boa hears the location, his eyes widen and he quickly places his hoof to his chin, deep in thought. Without realizing it, he's mumbling to himself, its a quiet whisper, just barely loud enough to be heard .
"Baltimare...that's pretty close to Manehattan. About what, a week trip from Manehattan to Baltimare? Hmm...that might take too long, chances are we won't have the time to wait. Maybe if I send a message in advance--"
Boa stops mid-sentence, looking up to speak clearly. "How long will the trip be from here to Baltimare?"

Boa lets out a chuckle. "Whirlpools, eh? I dealt with my fair share of them back in the day." A smile forms across his face. "If only I still had my ship from way back when as well, then it'd be one nice little nostalgia trip."

After a couple minutes, Boa enters the room as well. "I take it our mission is coming up?"

Boa smiled, turning towards Darkness. "Looks like its showtime." He begins walking towards the elevator that led to Mr. Winks' office.

Boa snapped out of his awe, turning towards who had spoke to him, seeing the griffin. Boa smiled and nodded.
"No, we haven't. The name is Captain Boa. Artificer Extraordinaire." Boa extended his hoof for a shake.

Boa eventually reached the Storm Chasers HQ and walked inside, the first thing he noticed was that it was a little less lively than the last time he came to the HQ.
'Must be on a mission.' He thought to himself. He decided to take a casual walk through the building, deciding to see if there was anything interesting, when he heard a conversation in what was labeled "Radar Room".
Walking in, he saw Darkness sitting there. Next to her was a Griffin that Boa had never seen before. As he entered the room, he was nearly taken back at the sight of it. He had only seen a glimpse of the room when he was here to see Mr Winks, but once inside, he couldn't help but be amazed by the sights and sounds. The technology and devices used were something that even Boa believed was unheard of.

As Boa finished his work for the day, he looked at the progress he made on his remaining order, the Starsong Mail. He had limited resources to make chainmail in the first place, but he had to make do for the time being. As he ran out of material for the armor, he was only able to complete half of the armor, and he had to still add the magical properties of the armor.
"I'll have to put in a few orders of my own if I'm going to finish this."
Stretching his limbs, Boa decided to close up shop for the day, and spend the remaining day in the city. Perhaps he'd walk back to the HQ and see if there was anything he could do there.

Boa sat up from his bed, waking up from his sleep. He turned to the other side of the bed, only to see it empty. He scratched his head and let out a yawn. He pushed himself out of bed and prepared for the day.
Some time later, Boa walks out of his home, since he hadn't gotten a letter for his job yet, he decided to return to the Silver Ouroboros for the time being. Upon entering, he sees a small stack of papers resting on the counter. He levitates them up to look at them.
"Seems I have a new set of requests." Boa begins flipping through them. "If it weren't for Mr. Winks and his organization, I'd be able to commit to some of these...but they'll take too long as is." He sat down next to his counter, and pulled out a quill and ink. He began to write a letter to his store in Manehattan, telling them to work on the majority of his requests in his stead. Once he was finished, he sent the letter and the requests to the store.
"Lets see, that leaves me with one remaining. Starsong Mail. Simple enough."

Boa fell back onto his bed, he looked up at the ceiling, his mind deep in thought. He pushed himself to his side of the bed. He didn't know how long he spent thinking, about the Organization, his meeting with Mr. Winks, his upcoming mission, and the pony he was going to be working with. Eventually, he fell asleep.

Boa gave a nod and walked out of the room. Walking back to the elevator. As the elevator doors closed and it began to descend, Boa let out a sigh. "Paired up with that mare...it has to be a coincidence." His thoughts go back to the morning, and everything that had happened. "I should at least thank her for getting me home, I suppose."
Boa scratched the back of his head. "I need to be ready for whatever this mission holds for me. No room for error. Perhaps I should make a quick run back to Canterlot..."

Boa smirked. "Sure. Sounds good."
He turns his attention towards darkness. 'This is all reminding me of the good ol' days. I haven't been this excited in a long time.' He thinks to himself.

Boa gives a smile towards Darkness, managing to maintain his poker face and hide his own blush about what had happened in the morning. He turned back towards Mr. Winks.
"I think I'd enjoy being a part of this organization. As an Artificer, I'm almost always creating something in my shop. And its not just rings and wands I make. What you see here isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps once I get settled in, I can show how some of these items are created. Think of it as a showcase of what you can expect from me."

"Sure, I dont mind. The more the merrier, as they say." Boa turned to start putting away his tools.
"I've created most of these items. I run a shop down in Canterlot, filled with hundreds upon hundreds of items like these. Feel free to drop by and see if anything there catches your eye."

(( I am so sorry! I didn't see your post >mm> ))
The stallion eyes lit up as he watch Boa disappear and reappear. Laughter filled the office as his excitement spread through his smile. Mr. Winks was already impressed by the helmet; he couldn't imagine what else Boa had in store. Through excited giggles he exclaimed,
Mr. Winks: Oh Ho Ho Ho!~ I couldn't imagine what else you could surprise me with But do try to take it easy, my heart is weak darling!~

Boa levitated up each of the rings. Each of them had their own special engravings on the inside of the rings, as well as a unique, albeit faint glow. "These rings are designed to fit onto my horn, once they're put on, the magic inside them activates.
Boa slid the first ring onto his horn, and just as it did, Boa disappeared. His body faded into nothingness. He was no longer there.
"This ring, allows me to become invisible." Boa takes the ring off, and he reappears, as if nothing had happened. "The other two increase my defenses. One is a natural Ring of Protection, the other protects me from Dark Magic and Evil-Aligned spells." He pauses. "On second thought, I think a Ring of Evasion would be better suited for working here. Perhaps when I get the chance, I can run back to my shop and switch them out."
Boa sets down his Ring of Invisibility, and walks to the next set of his tools. The Wands. They were about a foot in length and about a quarter-inch thick. Each of them had small symbols etched into them, which had a faint glow to them "These are Wands. Each one I've painstakingly created. Each of these wands has fifty charges, I can use it that many times before they would need a days worth of recharging. The first contains a spell called "Mending". It repairs damaged, or even broken objects. Carts, stands, benches, even buildings, although the more damage that these objects have taken, the more charges I'd need to spend to repair it."
Boa levitates up the other four. "These are a set of healing spells. The first is "Cure Light", which is for your everyday bruises and scraps. "Cure Moderate", it can heal minor and some moderate injuries. "Cure Serious", for the more bigger injuries, and finally, "Cure Critical". This is the one that's used when someone is...well, between this world and the next."
Boa sets down the wands, and walks over to the final set of his tools. "These are my Weird Science Cartridges. Seem small and rather hastily prepared, however, contained inside are my most powerful spells. The first is Admonishing Ray, I can use this to fire off a blast of Non-Lethal Force Damage, its designed to knock out ponies. Then we have one of my favorites, Arcane Eye."
Boa lifts up a glowing purple cartridge. "Arcane Eye creates a small, nigh-invisible eye that allows me to see into most places ponies cannot. It can travel through windows, walls, small cracks, pipes, underwater, anywhere I need it to go. While I am focusing my magic on the eye, I can see what it sees. And as I said, its nigh-invisible. For most ponies, they won't find it. Unicorns are a different matter, low level Unicorns won't be able to find it unless they're really looking for it specifically, while high-level unicorns who are more well-versed in magic than others, will be able to spot it no problem."
Boa sets it down. "Water Breathing allows me to breathe underwater, Stoneskin transforms my skin into a hard material that absorbs and deflects a good chunk of damage, Ant Haul triples the carrying and lifting capacity of a pony. Mighty Strength quadruples a Pony's natural strength, and Haste gives anypony faster movement, their speed and reflexes are practically doubled."
Boa turns back over to Mr. Winks. "I do have...one more tool. It is my greatest of all." A smirk forms across his face, he raises up his right hoof, showing that it is actually a prosthetic hoof. "Underneath this fake hoof of mine, is my greatest tool. A device that allows me to use these cartridges with unparalleled accuracy." Boa envelops his magic around the prosthetic, and holds it for a few seconds, however...his magic quickly fades away, and he lowers his hoof.
"...However, a magician never reveals his greatest secrets, and this one is mine."
