I love the update!!!
The seal pictures look excellent!!

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Thank you people, this really makes me wanna post an update :lol:
Anyhow, I've decided that I'll show you pictures of the Sea Lions when they get released as well, just in one update, so that you'd see how they're doing in their natural habitat :)

> The release of Febra and June
Yes, that's right.
Febra and June have been released earlier today, and since I've NEVER actually taken you to a release "mission", I decided to post it here :)
Of course, there are tons of photos for you to take a look at.

Here's the pictures and the story.

After a rather short night at the A.R.C. because Komori and I were getting Febra and June ready for their release, I woke up. It was around 4:30 AM when I walked over the Staff Center to nudge Komori to wake up. She wanted to go with the team to release the two as she grew quite fond of them. She wanted to take them both to a private zoo of hers, but as they're wild animals we couldn't let her do that. We wanted to keep June as well, but we didn't :IWANTCANDY:
Anyhow, we got dressed in 10 minutes and I left the Staff Center to check up on Febra and June. Maple came along with me while Komori had breakfast.

The animals were in the indoor area, right where we left them yesterday.
"They're sedated. It'll be enough for the trip, they'll be active again once they reach the destination." said Maple.
"Alright, let's go get the crates."

As we were dragging the huge crates alongside other zookeepers, we could see the anxiety in Febra's eyes. She didn't know how to feel. Scared? Happy? June was fast asleep when we placed her in the crate. Febra came without a fight, but was very unsure.
The helicopters arrived minutes after crating. They lowered their strong, fat chains and took up the crates.
"They're on their way" I said "Let's get to our helicopter to catch up on them."

We arrived to the bay before the sun came up and the two Lionesses still didn't arrive. Their helicopter has to stop every hour to check up on them, so it'll be awhile until they show up.
The area was beautiful in that time of day, truly amazing...

We arrived there around 5:40AM, and the Lionesses arrived around 6:30AM.
"Good job." said Komori "I hope the trip went well. How are the two?"
"They're doing great. The smaller one woke up."
"Oh, really? Lydia, did you hear that?" she said to me with a smile "Great, just lower them down easily, we'll take it from there."
I smiled. She was so into this job.

Maple, Komori, Hastings and I helped out around lowering the crates. We could hear that Febra was happy to smell the sea, while June was scared. It's not every day that she flies half the world in a crate in a helicopter.

Posted Image

"Is that all?" the pilot asked.
"Yes, thanks. See you back at the A.R.C.!" I waved and the helicopter left in a hurry. Komori looked at me.
"What now?" she asked.
I looked around the bay.
"Let's get them closer to the sea, they'll go out sooner if they see a field they know." I said and all four of us pushed June's crate closer to the sea. Febra was making strange noises in her crate while she was looking at us taking June away.
"Oh, dear, you're next, don't worry!" Hastings yelled at her.
"Take it easy. She just wants to go home." said Komori. Hastings looked at her and smiled: "I know. Don't you worry too."

When both crates were pushed closer we opened them up and the two rushed out.

Posted Image

First they took a great look at the bay and decided that although they know the bay they still need to explore.
"Look at them go!" Maple screamed.

Posted Image

We were all laughing at them, they were so funny.

June decided to be the brave one this time and enter the water first.
We closely observed if she'll actually do it.

Posted Image

As you saw on the previous picture she actually came with a part of hers in the water, and as soon as she got closer to entering it, actually entering it, she turned around to see if Febra is near by.

Posted Image

"She's not going to do it, will she?" Hastings asked.
"I highly doubt she will. Did you see her the first day in S.A.S.? She didn't leave the same spot until Febra went outside!" Maple started discussing.
"Man, I have to spend more time away from RR."
"Ah, what do you want, they were cute together. And June always following Febra was too adorable :3" said Komori.
"Guys, guys, look, she's really not going to do it!" I said and pointed at the beach.

Posted Image

Of course she didn't do it, but she went searching for Febra.
We did also.
We had no idea where she went, June was too big of a fun.
A nice, loud scream from June was enough to hear Febra calling her back.
Febra was looking around the rocks, God knows why.

Posted Image

Our best guess was that she was smelling the air and the rocks themselves to find their fleet/herd.

Posted Image

June came up to her, they shared a few nose touches and grooms, and they went together to the sea of the bay.
Febra, of course, entered first...

Posted Image

... and June followed her in. We have no idea what would June do without Febra.
As they left in the deeper sea I turned around to Komori and said: "Shall we?"
"Sure." she answered.
We put on our diver outfits, took our camera, and rushed in the water.
Maple and Hastings were just looking at us like we were nuts.
We went swimming with the lionesses.
Both Komori and I knew that the lionesses were close, as from the beach you could see them playing in the water. Popping out and then back in.

We found Febra swimming around far away from us:

Posted Image

But the zoom of the camera fixed that:

Posted Image

We tried to find June, and we didn't succeed until we came to the surface for some reason. Oh yes, to wave to the boys :lol:

We dived back in and spotted June. We came close up to her, to take a breathtaking shot (at least in my opinion):

Posted Image

As we took enough shots to feel comfortable with it, we left the water.
"When did you plan this out?!" Hastings asked insulted (he wasn't invited to the swim, hahaha).
"Yesterday night. Before we went to sleep."
"Maple! Did you know about this!?"
"Uhm, yes." he said laughing
"And!?"
"I said I don't want to go. I wasn't in the mood for swimming with them. Sorry Hast."
"Ah... Lydia!" he turned to me as I was running over the whole bay laughing as hell XD "Get back here! You know I wanted to swim with them! Lydiaaaaaaa!"

After 30 minutes we decided to leave the gorgeous bay because we didn't see the two beauties anymore.

"It was a great release." I said.
"True."

I absolutely love the beach map. (: It looks so realistic, I ecspecially love the rocky waterfall you made, I will definitely download this the moment it comes out.
For any of those remaining or wanting to remain in the community

Please visit websites Gaia or The Round Table. I doubt that many of you haven't already moved there, but I know stragglers do exist and I hope this guides you to where activity remains, should you still be interested in the game.

Thank you.
