Captain's Diary
A collection of diary entries from Captains across generations, offering insights on the Rescue Corps' past.
#1
The previous captain, my father, was the very definition of generous. When a rescue call came in, he'd zoom off without a moment's notice. Once the mission was complete, he'd refuse to accept payment from whoever he rescued. He did this one mission after another. And now, due to his generosity, the Rescue Corps is...pretty much broke.
