Hello, everyone! This is Aida Mana, captain of the Shepherd! I'd like to thank everyone for the words of encouragement they gave me, and let everyone know that I'm resuming my role as captain of our crew!

I know it looks like we have a big challenge ahead of us all, but I'd like everyone to know - not just my crewmembers, but everyone out there on those high seas, that we can get through this! We've survived a lot so far, and we'll keep on doing it, no matter how tough things get!

If there's anything these last few months have proven to me... love, courage... it will all see us through! Even if we can't see it, it's still out there, over the next horizon! Whether it's the Navy, or the sea witch... it doesn't matter! I believe in you!

[locked to the Shepherd crew]

Just reminding everyone our next destination is Port Chance, where we intend to use the treasure we recently acquired in order to upgrade to a bigger ship! The Shepherd has carried us far for so long... we should take these next few weeks to remember what it's done for us! It's been our home, our safe haven... we'll never forget it!

That said, we have to be diligent, given the Navy is out there... I'm counting on you all!

This whole navy business has got me worried. I mean it won't be for more than a day or so, but I just want to go check on someone. I mean, if that is okay?

Of course! But... we do need to set out... you are going to be able to catch up with us once you've found them, right?

I don't know, I mean I could just use their Nav if they don't use it. Not sure how that works though.

I used it once! Don't worry, I can instruct you!

[wantsarobotgarden]

Really? I would like that.

[abundantlove]

No problem!

[wantsarobotgarden]

Though,... only if you have the time. I'm not sure how much free time you'd have.

A captain makes time for her subordinates! Don't worry!

[wantsarobotgarden]

O-oh, okay. I won't worry, but I wouldn't have wanted to be a bother either.

[abundantlove]

It's never a bother, trust me!

[wantsarobotgarden]

I trust you, captain. I mean if I didn't, I probably wouldn't be on the ship.

[abundantlove]

Heh, well, I'll do my best to honor that trust!
