Feeling the cool wind against my hard skin, I stood proudly admiring my vessle and the crew - hard at work.

We had been exploring these waters for a several weeks now, we have found many strange items within the depths of the water. We had just come back from a deserted island, in which we gained lots of supplies.

I looked up at the flag, flapping in the wind, I was proud to be in charge my fathers second crew. I was enjoing a glass of wine.

"Right then men, you know my fathers orders - we must find..." I started and then the young man on watch interuped my orders:

"Captain Kruger, Sir!" he shouted down, his voice was currently breaking.

"What is it now?!?!" I demaned

"Well, sir...I think, I think theres another ship, sir. Look south, sir" He pointed in a direction his hand shaking.

"Get down her at once" I bellowed upwards. He quickly zipped down the ladder and stood next to me. I snatched his telescope and gave him a look of death. Tipping my head to south I pressed the telescope close to my eye.
"Ah, ha! This looks like Captain Warner's new ship 'The Kingston' My father told me about him..."
Gregor, my trusty first mate, stubmled up towards me. He tossed his gray hair back -
"What is it Kruger?" he mumbled whislt itching underneath his leather eye patch.
"There is another ship approaching us in the next few days." I replied
"Arh! Shall I prepare the cannons?" He grunted back with a smile

"No" I said, stabbing the young watching man in the chest with his telescope.

I sat back down to the table and carried on drinking my wine

"Arrr... another ship?"

I wondered what anorhte rvessel was doing out in the uncharted waters. Perhaps they were lsot? Or perhaps they were here for the same reason that we were...

"We will 'ave to keep an eye on tha' there ship!" I said to Captain Kruger. I had great trust in Kruger and he in me. We had known each other for a long time. Who I didn't like however, was this sniveling young watchman. Little pest!

As I walked past him I knocked into him with my shoulder and he fell to the ground. There was an uproar of laughter from the crew! I scowled at the young lad and outstretched my left arm to help him up. When the young man reached up to take my hand, I revealed that my left hand wa sin fact missing and I hook was in it's place! I laughed!

"Har! I 'ave 'ad me fun for the day!" I croaked, "now to find some grub for old man Gregor and maybe a barrel o' rum! Care to join me Cap'ain?"

I sat there, tipped the wine down and threw the emty glass overboard

"Yes get a barrel and gather everyone up. We all need to have a meeting--"
Gregor looked at me, his head tilted
"NOW!" I screamed at his face, saliva dripping down my chin.

I trusted Gregor, but the others needed telling about the upcoming ship - I have a plan...

"Alright me harties!" I called out to the scum onboard this ship, "you 'eard the cap'ain! He wants a meeting right now! Get yer scrawney bodies down here this instant!"

I saw the young watch man rushing around to fuind a place to stand where he could see Captain Kruger. He was trying to impress him so much! I growled and walked over to him and slapped him across the back of the head.

"You're on waste duty boy!" I shouted, "There's a barrel of shite sitting at the back of the ship! Get your useless hands into it and throw the shite overboard! That's a bleeding order!"

Everyone laughed as the watch man rushed towards the barrel of excrement. Many of the men knocked him with their shoulders or arms as he passed. One of the men even stuck his foot out, tripping him to the ground. The watch man ran around the corner to where the excrement barrel was and we heard his scream of disgust!

After we had all settled we turned to the captain and waited to see what he was going to say...

The crew gathered in the storm, this was the perfect weather.

"We all know, we must find the lost map of the unchartered waters. Many riches beyond our wildest dreams can be found. We all know that the captain of that ship, has the map."
I shot my hand out and pointed out a dark looking vessle, briefly flashing in the storm.

"The flithly prisoner in our jail has informed us well. All we need to do is kill and tourture every living soul aboard that ship!" I shouted out to the storm and crew.

"WHO'S WITH ME?!!"

The whole crew pulled out there swords and raised them to the air, letting out a massive roar!

"We all know how important this map is to my father, now its chance to take what is rightfully ours!!"

The lighting storm filled the skys. I was now finalally going to get the Lost Map.

The distant ship now became closer, it was within our reach! My heart started beating fast, I was excited about the events to come.

A crack of thunder struck down on the sea, my ship started to come along side Warners.

"Right men, get in your positions!!" I commanded. The crew all grabbed hold of ropes from various postions high up aboard my ship. We have done invasions aboard ships many times. After all we are Dark Pirates...

"Ready....Wait...." I was now getting more excited. The crew gribbed there ropes and withdrew their swords. The ground crew unstrapped there axes and musckets.

Warners ship was now paralelle to ours "Steady.....Wait for it...." I was now within reach

"!!!!!ATTACK!!!!!"

"YER!" I snarled, "TO BATTLE! TO BATTLE! LET'S FIGHT 'EM! TO BATTLE!"

We all moved as one towards the other ship...

(continued from Main deck of the Kingston)

I waited for my team to assemble, it's best if were quiet and sneak aboard into other parts of the ship.

The storm was perfect cover for our noise, the rain fell down my face - I felt like I'd done this kind of thing too many a time.

My team was good:
Olivia Thorn - my trusty engineer.
Sleepy I - great for spoting guards.
Luni Mwah - could see things the normal person would miss....
Hazel Caress- great scientist, escially if we find materials aboard their ship
Phoenix - we will be safe if we come under any trouble...

My team started to gather. We should search the ship - perhaps theres other maps to his collection or somthing else...answers!

i walk up to pete here i am still half dead from the brig! *wabbles* here to help sir.

"Do we know exactly what it is that we are looking for sir?" I said to Pirate Pete, suddenly realising that we had no idea what we where actually doing here.
"Plus, should we split up or stick together as a group? And are we on the look-out for that traitor O'Malley?"

I had lots of questions about the mission. It is one of th first things you learn as a security officer - to find out everything you need to know about the job in hand. If you are in the dark about one little thing it could mean the difference between life and death - especially on a pirate ship...
