The Black Ship - Chapter 50 Part 1 | A Shattering Breakthrough

Comments

Unbelievably good.

I think it centers around Clara Wyatt and Cynthia with build ups around key characters in the long term but I’m with you I like it being more centered on just Wyatt because if you start telling it from multiple angles this story will take 10 years to cover 1 year of war at this rate and this war is going to take a couple years to sort especially since it obviously takes several months to cover all of the princapality probably closer to a year to go end to end I want to know how long the coup was raging before Wyatt saved Clara had to be atleast 3 months unless for some reason the council of nobles was being held near the dukes territory for some reason

Two weeks of hard lessons from Cynthia. Now the Composter Pilots and the service Oath Sworn Noble Oakmoon Knight stand with Wyatt in melee combat exercises. They stand in contest with Cynthia who swore to punish them harshly if they failed to strike her face with intent to harm her. Repeatedly they are bludgeoned and dropped short of victory by her superior skills. Each attacker turned upon effort and brought low before her, she orders them up to try again. They now know the level Wyatt has trained under her and feel the weight of her instruction staring up from the floor in their repeated defeat. Before they again launch into attack, Wyatt calls them aside realizing she knows all his methods and theirs amount to failure without something changing. He calls Declan Oakmoon and his experience, realizing Cynthia knows Wyatt's skills, and his elite pilots are not yet trained to his level, Wyatt realizes they have failed to plan the attack to optimize their strengths which each alone are insufficient to overcome Cynthia. Using Declan's experience in tactics, and planning they approach to attack again. Cynthia, highly trained recognizes the change in their approach. This time they appear to move in synch and with united purpose rather than individual combatants against her. They appear to attack then faint back, trying to draw her out of position while yet others flank her sides. Seeing their plan she shift her movements and repels the flanking assault with non-lethal counter attacks. Mistaking one opponent as disabled, she is surprized but able to block his renewed assault, only to be surprized by a surprize attack from Wyatt that landed a blow to her face as was stipulated for the training. Injuring his hand rather than her face, Wyatt is the one surprized, but Cynthia reads that his effort had been in earnest as ordered to bring her harm in the strike. SHOCK and stunned looks from the onlookers as Wyatt's fist struck Cynthia unexpectedly. Not that he was injured but that he managed to strike her at all. Cynthia's reaction puzzled them, when she stood and grasped Wyatt by the shoulders and declared he struck her. Not in anger, she repeated this when he cried that he wished he hadn't. Wyatt had broken the bones of his hand striking her, but she was almost unmarked by the strike. Yet she grips his shoulders and repeats that he had struck her. The lesson not yet dawning in their minds, the elite pilots pleaded with Cynthia for Wyatts injured hand. Cynthia dismisses the training and orders them take Wyatt to medical for the injury. Even as they are leaving the Royal Marines turn to ask Cynthia if she has held back only to be told she had not. This further elevated the Baron Wyatt as a worthy noble in reputation and honors. Cynthia is nearly beside herself in excitement for Wyatt and proceeds to report this achievement to Redford. They discuss his influence on the Composter pilots and his oath sworn knight Declan Oakwood, proclaiming he shows significant potential and might be perceived as a threat by other nobles, endangering Wyatt and those he cares about. This is a wonderful chapter showing us how Wyatt's fellow pilots view him and his abilities. The influence he has on these elite pilots is not unnoticed by Redford and Cynthia, nor the loyalty he has instilled in Declan Oakmoon for being deserving of his oath of service. This is a great chapter preparing us for the future battles these men will fight as they serve Princess Clara Astor on The Black Ship to win the house war with Duke Draymore and the contentious nobles that support him. Noirnavio repairs are near completion and Clara's mission remains, while more threats are looming, there are storms brewing for our pilot and his elite to overcome. Thanks for a wonderful chapter and update how they prepared for your next vision of this epic story. I am looking forward to which way the wind blows this black ship and how they tackle the challenges ahead.

Will the pace of events continue to happen at the same pace as real time ? Is that the pace of the story...going forward as it has generally been that so far? 2, is it still the case that the story is written each week and there is no overall story as to whether Wyatt et al will eventually defeat the duke ? 3, is the Black ship about Wyatt staples or is it about all the characters and Thier various stories and lives as it's fair to say that as many chapters are devoted to other characters as to Wyatt.. it would be good to have some answers

Darrenj

Not to ruin this chapter but while Wyatt hitting Cynthia is astonishing I feel he was only able to do that because she was consciously trying not to hurt them. If it was a real fight I don't think he comes close to touching her.

Andrew cook

Cynthia’s reaction to getting hit I wonder if has some deeper meaning like Wyatt potential marriage material hasn’t landed

Wild Card

Death by snooze snooze

Wild Card

Never expected his hand to break on her face. Ps I got tons of side stories. I will attempts to send a voice mail. Easier for me since my stroke.

Jean-marc Ladouceur

Thank you, excellent chapter

Ted Jostedt

Using hover bikes

Bill

We have to do a thing where why in his squad, get the rescue, one of the his family members and take him to his Barney, using bikes to get into where they gotta go

Bill

I’m understanding is the first set of implants he got made his bones much harder but it was only the first stage it mated to his weave through ones but to get the stage 3 strength enhancement he’d have to get much more rigorous bone density work done my guess is Cynthia is mostly machine thus the reason for her always wearing the armor so basically during growth she’d have to get constant injections of nanotechnology to build her body in tune with the brain

Jeremy Cable

One thing I really like about the Black Ship is that there are always many paths the story can take. This is a long way from winding down.

Strategic Prepper

Best way to go!

Jason Wilson

Dang this chapter is awesome I love it i can't wait to see where this all goes

Damien Schwab

If Wyatt and Cynthia with her strength do get together in the end , he better be careful when it comes to foreplay or Wyatt’s head is going to get popped like a pimple by her thighs if you know what I mean😜

Darwin Johnson

Really enjoy this episode.

Gady Tuff

Again an excellent Episode Love the lessons that are given to the composter, Looking forward for the deep brief to the princess Clara as well as these new upgrades that Wyatt will be getting and I'm really curious about the wolf pack Upgrade nice cliffhanger

Pat

Your influenced by a AI generated picture it's shock and pride in her student

Robert Whitehead

Thank you for a Wyatt epoisode

Robert Joseph

so Wyatt manages to hit Cynthia. How long before his mind realizes that he's just signed up for more rigorous training. on a more serious note, kalons and cynthias concern about Wyatt s position has me wondering: will Wyatt 's hidden control of the noirnavio come into play?

newstart627

I do wonder what Cynthia is made of. Wyatt punched her and broke his hand and wrist.🤔🤔🤔 She did say they did something to her when she was a fetus in her mother. I did find it funny that the whole ship already knew of the onto Cynthia. THE PUNCH HEARD AROUND THE WORLD???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I do love the banter between Redford and Cynthia. Any way, great episode.

Jeff Wright

Nice to be back on the Noirnavio.

Inge Nilsen

Wyatt gave Cynthia a " Love Tap" and She liked it!!!

Kevin Morgan

I'm loving the ai pics, it really adds to the story! Thanks sci-fi stories!

tim varilek

good to see the "new toys "in training includes both the composters and both of Wyatt's Knights. WOW hungy eyes are you smitten?

Ed Thomas

“That is very cheeky of you, Hungry Eyes “.

Skeeta_bite

This is melding nicely many twists turns to go excellent work

Jeremy Cable

Intara will let Wyatt connect to the communication systems not sure about others

Terrill Hester

I love the banter between Cynthia and Redford you can feel the family vibe between the two. Once again Ekhidna has written a fantastic episode. And leaving me want more like a little Oliver Twist.

Terrill Hester

Damn that was a very quick 28 minutes. I must say I have been greatly anticipating this episode. Very surprised that even Wyatt managed to land a blow on Cynthia. It also gave a good chuckle with the Composters getting a taste of Wyatt's Cynthia experience 😂.

Terrill Hester

Great job, guys!

ohnodevo

Probably the favor Wyatt asked Clara for. They'll most likely get their own squadron HQ aboard the ship.

7thCore

She probably sleeps in it.

7thCore

The way commander Redford was questioning Cynthia if it was envy in her eyes about Wyatt’s and Jincho’s closeness and calling her hungry eyes. I know it’s the nickname Jincho gave her but I can’t help but since he may have meant it in a way that he sees she might have a little more than just friendship feelings when it comes to Wyatt!!!

Darwin Johnson

Yes there is one. You have to get on the discord app to see it though. It’ll be under the black ship lore section

Darwin Johnson

Nice to see Declan Oakmoon not just in the story but to be recognized by Wyatt for the skills from Declan's life as worth remembering. Cynthia is aware of just how hard she is training Wyatt and his entourage. The fact that Wyatt is making such progress first does make her happy since Cynthia is expecting to groom Wyatt for Clara, but also that the successful training of a student will raise her status within the House Wynfield. Redford is also seeing that Wyatt is proving to be a valid strategist, and will rise in Nobility because he is proving skilled and trainable. Now he needs to talk with the Prince and Clara about what to do so Wyatt cannot be removed from Clara's entourage, nor the Noirnavio's crew. Oh, and as to the "Wolfpack" project, that has to be a complete set of upgraded fighters for the Composters to use. It was a team effort to bring down Maximillion. And more implants, gene theories, and upgrades, Wyatt is going to be in the ranks of "true Nobles" much faster than many Nobles are willing to tolerate. Ok, so how many chapters can we please get this week??? I will be waiting for the next chapter no matter when it will be.

J.R. Turner

Is there a map of the Principality? I'm having trouble visualizing which house is where.

Jesse Roberson

Well that was all kinds of awesome, it does beg the question what the hell is Cynthia, I'm starting to think she's like wolverine under her skin

Drew - UK

On the second play through I noticed we missed Wyatt’s interaction with the commoners and setting up his business maybe re build the villa. I hope we get a update on that before anything that isn’t Wyatt related

Christopher Godfrey

Anyone can explain what the implants are for ?

Runner Pro

does anyone recall a time when Cynthia has not been in her armor?

Jason B

Finally back to main characters ty

Wingman

Cool! New episode. "..... priority retrofit Wolfpack"? What could that be? I assume this is an upgrade to Noirnavio. Or could it be Jincho not only building Wyatt a new fighter but also build enough for all the composters. It might make sense for Clara's entire squadron to fly the same fighter.

cjoflv

Another great chapter thank you for getting back to Wyatt side

Christopher Godfrey

👍👍 Awesome as always. Is Cynthia a Terminator? 🤔

Dan453

Poor Wyatt… That’ll teach him what not to do… 😝 😂

william lemon

I'm always excited Monday mornings, but, why am I more excited AFTER listening to this chapter, I have no idea. Thank you so much!

MarkDC

Excellent.

Old Man Gibb

Nice to be back on the Noirnavio. Wyatt gets a punch landing on Cynthia and destroys his hand, 😂 but impressing her.

Tim Edwards

Honestly I’m surprised he didn’t break his arm haha

RedFin

Outstanding

Duane Jones

Nice timing . Released right as I’m getting ready for the day.

C. Shoeball

Yea! It's our very early! Thanks ❤️
