Week 28

[scurveydog]

Hain't gonna have the weather this time 'round. Hope ye lot are doin' well wi' the navy or not gettin' yerselves too hurt. I'll be takin' a leave of absence ta see if I can help stop this bedamned plague from spreadin'. We haven't had an outbreak like this fer thirty years-- fortunately we know how ta stop it but I'd keep a fair distance from Dermaevern if I were ye. I wouldn' take a risk on Blackfisk either.


Afore I set out, I hae a little time fer a question ta which ye know the rules of. Ta be specific, though since damned near all 'o ye seem ta hae this problem. I hain't here ta be yer nursmaid or explain ta ye th' ups an' downs 'o friendship. In other words, if ye can ask any 'o yer mates the same question and expect to get answer, do it and don't waste me time.

Your looking for treasure? We're being hunted by an enemy navy.

Perhaps... but one cannot get far without the necessary funds.

Don't new people show up here with money?

A logical deduction, but an incorrect one. I happen to have been captain of a crew before being dragged down to Davy Jone's locker for an extended stay. As such, I felt that this information may prove to be the most valuable to me or any crew I'm with of the questions that could be asked. The crew which I am planning on assisting will likely have need of a larger ship relatively soon, and if that is the case they shall indeed need the funds.

Shouldn't you talk to their accounting officer first? We had to replace the whole ship last month didn't seem to worry the Captain much.

Unfortunately the crew I wish to assist doesn't have anything like an accounting officer. They have a mush brained captain, a fierce first mate who punches the captain if he makes any mistakes that are "too stupid", and a ship that from what I have heard is almost filled to the brim. I don't know about your crew, but when I first started as a captain we had to pool quite a bit of our resources into purchasing a proper sized ship.

Oh like yer questions ha'e been th' height 'o brilliance. Ye hain't gotta leg ta stand on here, and ye look like an idiot tryin'.

[wavemotiongunner]

Well sorry i took the space solider track at the academy and my planet's been an eradicated waste land since I was 12.

[scurveydog]

Considerin' ye went to th' academy fer bein a soldier who generally learn to ask important questions relevant ta th' crucial situation rather than askin about pets, ye hain't got an excuse. Unless ye mean ye dropped out of said academy fer askin too often if ye could pretty please have tea fer lunch when there were war games goin' on.

[wavemotiongunner]

Would knowing where those navy forces are matter much?

I wasn't asking about a random cat the captain found it was creature that can knock down trees when full grown.

I wish we were just have war games. We're at war. Maybe I am inexperienced but the other officer candidates were killed. I used to question why Okita picked me over Nanbu but, I don't start screaming I don't want to die when the enemy fleet has us surrounded, or think it's a good idea to destroy a dwarf planet just to take out one base.

[scurveydog]

It's still a damn fool question and I have no idea what ye're talkin' about, nor do I care.
