How did you fair the storm. And with pirates on the Island, what should we do to protect our illustrious passengers? [This may be genuine, but he also may be a dick.]



OOC: Rhade is a British Royal Marine stationed aboard the Redeemer, but originally came from Croatia and has a thicker accent. He's had feelings his superior officer, Dylan Hunt, for some time and knows that Dylan's fiancé has been unfaithful. He's avoided telling him because Dylan has unwavering confidence in her. He's been investing much of his time in the little powder monkey, Ben.

It can safely be assumed that he's still a cheeky, cagey bastard and relatively friendly, so I'm open to most of the Redeemer crew assuming friendship.

Miss Isley.

To be honest, I wouldn't have pegged her as the... wanting-a-musket type. [ She may have unleashed an unknown monster in your direction. Sorry, dude. :( ]

[truth_is_cold]

A pistol and some shot we can spare. Anything larger Miss Isley should stay on the ship to retrieve when need presses.

I believe regulation might be waved when there are pirates on the island. I doubt my commander would begrudge me that.

[landfall]

Yeah.

We're gonna get them, right? The pirates.

[truth_is_cold]

We will be prepared for them at least. I am going with Dylan to investigate their location on the other side of the island, to be certain what condition they are in.

If they are more battle ready than us, it may be an issue of concern.

[landfall]

No one's more prepared than the Navy.

[ She wishes she really believed that. ]

[truth_is_cold]

I wouldn't put it past pirates who have been robbing the navy for some time. But I hope you are right, or else that they're not organized enough to use their materials properly.

[landfall]

Sometimes pirates can be pretty dangerous. These guys...

I don't know.

[He has the good sense to switch to private. He doesn't take his job so seriously that he won't listen to the concerns of others, but he doesn't want superiors to see conversations and assume the worst.]

Is there something unusual about them?

[Private]

[landfall]

They just seem really... disciplined isn't the right word. Determined, I guess. Not like your usual scum-of-the-seas.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

They are likely more experienced than many out there. If they came from countries where they were originally supported in their efforts, they may have more solid tactics. They did have a better ship than I am used to.

And if they were able to capture her, that implies some organization on their part beyond ordinary.

Usually pirate ships are barely holding together.
