Sounds like some awesome weaponry.” Clarisse grinned. “The rest of it sounds awesome.” Beckendorf complimented. With a bronze-plated hull, mounted repeating crossbows fore and aft…could fire explosive bolts powerful enough to blast through concrete well, Especially if something had gotten on their ship right from launch. You’d be better doing a smaller ship and adding more protections to it.” Leo frowned. “It’s unnecessary, especially when on a mission that’s going to require speed, and when you only have six months to build it in. “Still don’t need that much space.” Beckendorf argued. “We need a lot of supplies.” Leo protested. It does not need to be two hundred feet long.” “There are going to be seven of you, eight with Gleeson, on that ship. “Two hundred feet long?” Beckendorf frowned. The Argo II definitely did not look friendly. That’s a weapon that never fails.” Annabeth chuckled. “Besides, have a little faith in my charm.” What if this was a bad idea? What if the Romans panicked and attacked them on sight? The warship descended through the clouds, but Annabeth couldn't stop second-guessing herself. “A goddess could probably get through the protections on the ship.” That sounds like her sort of thing.” Leo said grimly. How could anything bad get on the ship?” Silena asked. And it took launched from Camp Half-Blood. Things going wrong already.” Connor grimaced.

Hedge is coming with us?” Leo asked in surprise. Most important, she pulled aside their war-crazed chaperone, Coach Gleeson Hedge, Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything…with the rest of the crew-and the backup plan, and the backup plan for the backup plan. “How long do you think these chapters will be if they are documenting all of Annabeth’s thoughts?” Grover asked in pretend horror. “I would have been fine keeping it that way.” Annabeth grumbled. “Especially as you’re the only one who hasn’t had chapters from your point of view yet.” Thalia pointed out. “And if you’re part of the seven, it makes sense that we would get some from your point of view.” “Well, you’re definitely part of the seven now.” Connor said, a little anxiously. ← Previous Work Part 8 of Reading Percy Jackson Next Work →Īadarshinah's list of fics to die for, Watch/Read The Series, Reacting to Canon, Characters Explores Fandom, Why sleep?
