Highliber and Overmayor Zavora explains part of her plan to conduct a scientific experiment to the Mayor of Kalgoorlie as they walk along her wind train to the car with the special cargo. Although Zavora attained her positions in part by winning duels, her skill with pistols is matched by her salesmanship. She can be charming when she needs to. The mayor, no slouch himself, is nonetheless intrigued. He sees the advantage to Kalgoolie to cooperate with the Highliber. The Dragon Librarians lag behind, respecting the privacy of the conversation, but also alert for threats to the Highliber. Four musketeers from the mayor's guard are there for show but also provide him protection. At least one Dragon Orange, a member of the Libris police force, follows along inside the Overmayor's train car, additional security for Zavora. The Highliber is SPICY Masala with Georgia hair, wearing the V4 Ranger cloak and top (combined with the Queen of Hearts sleeves), Space Defenders: Commander pants, and Courageous boots, from DAZ. Her holsters are from DAZ's Steampunk Wilde, with double-barreled flintlocks by fergal_kelly, from the Thingaverse. The mayor is Bartholomew with Jai hair and the TOA Legendary outfit from DAZ and Varsel's free bicorne hat. The Dragon Librarians are V4 outfitted with the DAZ Hooded Cloak with Full Circle materials and components from Courageous, with Iggy and Quinn hair respectively, from DAZ. The musketeers are M4 outfitted for M4 Officers & Gentlemen armed with Jtrouts's Flintlock Double Barrel Shotgun freebie. The train is my Wind Train with two modified cars. The Overmayor's car with Libris decorations uses the Compartment from DAZ. The cargo tarp on the last car was made by draping a tarp over the tanks of the GWR Gas Tank Wagon. The Kalgoorlie station is Dunster Station and the environment is the Australian Outback, from DAZ. The birds are from Flock Formations from Hivewire3D. Zoë, the Millennium Cat, not part of the story, appears to have adopted the Highliber. And now Penelope, the Hivewire Housecat, has arrived and is following one of the Dragon Blue. The scene, inspired by Sean McMullen's Greatwinter trilogy, was composed and rendered in Poser 11 Pro.
