Part 1: Sunshiney

The wreckage of the AGS Sunshiney was too difficult to reach for the first four months. It was only when the Antarctic winter ended and the Sun started hanging endlessly in the sky that a team of scientists headed to the doomed ship and looked through the remains.

The boat was flipped upside down, multiple kilometers away from the actual shoreline. Dr. Lopez of Argentina tried to estimate its size. But she was a biologist, not an engineer, so her main point of reference was the blue whale.

Part 2: Restless

Dr. Lopez was just one member of the team walking from the shore to the AGS Sunshiney. There was also an engineer, Timothy from Britain. Luckily for Lopez, Timothy was too young to have strong feelings about the Falklands and indeed, was too young to remember 9/11. The undergraduate was restless, fiddling his thumbs and asking a new question a minute.

“AGS, what does it stand for again?” Timothy asked. His voice was quick and high like a hummingbird.

“Anti-Globalist-Service,” said Dr. Lopez. Her voice was calm and powerful like a tide.
