The Privateer's Way

[arvg]

Jack Fraser stood up, bowing to the lady down the table and fixing the navy blue tunic he wore so that it sat correctly.

"Numbers being what they are, with my own vote cast I have the majority... clearly." He bowed to their host and arbiter. "I think it is safe to call this election and get back to real business."

Marandan inclined her head, "It has been decided by the code, and now you are the Captain here, Jack."

Cap'n Jack smiled lightly as he looked at the men.

"Then it is simple, there's a lot of fat traders sailing with impunity out there in Kusari waters. Amongst them, Zoners... I say we go Whaling. I'll give a bonus to every man amongst you who scans these war profiteers and provides proof of Zoner hypocrisy."

He set his hands on his hips, "and there's an extra bonus in it as well of Thirty Million Credits to the man... or woman amongst ye, that can bring me the sword of a Kusari Naval Officer! Get to yer ships, get to the lanes, and by gods... make them pay!"
