Peace be upon ye, gentlefolk.
Well, today was a mixed day of sorts. It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the Ethelred has been seized and repurposed for the war effort, so I will no longer be in command of th' ship. I spoke with the man who would be her new captain, and he was a lad of strong conviction and good blood, but nevertheless, that ship was not built for war. It breaks my heart to see her off, and I pray that she is returned to me, in good repair, once she has fufilled her duty.
Still, there was good news today in the form of a message from Liberty. Apperently, several wealthy Manhattenites had heard of the plight of the Leeds refugees, and organized a charity gala of sorts to raise money and goods which they seek to send to th' camps on New London. I gladly accepted the task of transporting such cargo, and it filled me with joy to see the pile of gifts and heartfelt letters of condolence written by these people of such luxurious means to those who have so little. I am glad to see that the spirit of charity is alive and well in these dark times. Alas, I dispair that even these goods will not solve the problems that plauge the refugee camps of late. No amount of sweaters or holobands can bring joy to one's heart when crime runs rampant in the streets.
I would be in New London right now, were it not for a strange astronomical phenomena which forced my crew to moore the Cuthbert to a small outpost in Manchester. The particle storm seems to be jamming our cruise drives, and I am not sure how long we shall be waiting for the storm to pass.
McCullen Out.
