Diego Santana de la Vega

Standing on the quarterdeck and watching the inroductions of crew to the French captain I pocketed my brings'em near and looked up to Cairan in the nest Mate Ciaran I yelled up. He glanced down over the basket and answered Aye monsignor!. (I continued) is there any thing of need you might have? I should like to be on me way up and shall bring it for you! He waved off a simple nay. I began me climb up the mizzenmast to the empty and solitary and most reliable place for thoughts of me own evocation. I settled into the second basket noting the beauty of the day the suns brightness and the lack of wind. I first took out me brings 'em near and took account of the horizon. noting the emptyness of the sea. Looked over and onto the deck of the Danzig Trader and made note that their own lookout were lookin right at me in his glass as well. I waved and was received back with the like wave. I then took account of the encounters upon the French deck and the company of our officers upon visit were being walked to the destination of great bounty. I prayed safe return.

cheese

becept there are no ale stands!

(Taking stock of the planned decadence... I remove myself from the main deck and go below to bid that God for sakened project of secrecy I never seem to find time to finish. So I get all the way down to the hold where I found Christine and lo it be seemin the door lock has been picked and its standing open..... I light a lantern there and ease it open slowly gaining entrance as I peer into and shine the light into the dark recess noting the barrels are straight and even and all though under suspect all seems well. I hang the lamp to reach in behind the stack of water barrels I have hidden the desk I have been hiding there and find cloth.. Snugly stuffed into the void where my project should be and pull and pull to no avail. I ease the top barrel down onto the hull framing ribs and then reach back into find the cloth more easily making it's way out under my consistant tugging. It releases and I almost loose my balance at its hold. I clearly feel something metalic is wrapped in its entirety. Unfolding the wrap I now see it is a very nice cutlass. One I think should be handed over ot the quartermaster on the double. I leave the barrel and make my way to the main deck with its folded fabric swaying in the breeze I address:) Mr Lassiter sir! I have just found this whilst looking for a certain project i am working on and most certain to be finishing should the time allow but as for this sir it is a cutlass....... I take leave only to address that closet (hold) where Christine was found? The door sir where it were I found this the door sir shows lock damage due to forcing its pry to the open! I'll be in the basket sir it be my shift.......

Captain, I should like to give fishing a try! You know many of Jesus's apostles were fishermen.....

headaches a plenty

I was back on the main deck in time to find the final ropes being tied. The Danzig trader brought up the entire crew and marine compliment to full decks view. (I immediately thought the French will certainly have a bit of a problem knowing all of these men are aboard!) I turned to face the Watch Dogs Crew and asked that the captain be sent for as he instructed. I bowed my head in a peaceful and silent offering. The captain came upon main deck afore my finish and I nodded his arrival. Turning to face the Dutch ship I began with: Let us Pray: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here not as enemies but as friends, ....... family, ..... brothers. We have become close oh lord in your trials allowing those with guilty and unloving hearts to find exacting harm in return as your glory be told to those that take then too shall they be taken from. An eye for an eye ..... Aye! Amen! I shall read from: Psalms 94:12-23 Happy are those whom you discipline, LORD, and those whom you teach from your law. You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug for the wicked. The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his own special possession. Judgment will come again for the righteous, and those who are upright will have a reward. Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have died. I cried out, "I'm slipping!" and your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side – leaders who permit injustice by their laws? They attack the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the LORD is my fortress; my God is a mighty rock where I can hide. God will make the sins of evil people fall back upon them. He will destroy them for their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them. Let us pray In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our brothers Eynbrecht and Visser; and we commit their body to the ground through your oceans blue; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless them and keep them, the Lord make this face to shine upon them and be gracious unto them and give them peace. Oh Yes and Van buren as well lord. Though you are not with us Shipwreck John we are with you and pray you are alive and well! Amen.... I shall close in reading from Psalms 82:6-8 I say, 'You are gods and children of the Most High. But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince, for all must die.'" Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you. (I wanted to be sure the french heard this last passage as we are all brothers and mayhaps have in so doing bought these dutch marines safe harbor yet......)

Aye then I shall be with prompt return.

Aye Captain! (turns to our Quartermaster) when we are near for those on the Danzig Trader to take part I'll be ready. I shall go below till then please send for me, Grammercy

it's wholly for the kids! The parents wishin them to see history in the ships of the preiod and then a little street faire with twenty vendors a few food and drink stands and lots and lots of people asking to take pictures with you and their kids I gives em all a little trinket (booty if you will) and that is why it is so rewarding.

Mr. Warren I should like to take these here departed over to the Danzig Trader when you find it convenient. And if the captain would approve your waiting there for me till after a service then? (so I turns to Mr Lassiter) Quartermaster, Picture this! Scully sees and recognizes Van Buren when he comes aboard or vice versa Van Buren recognizes Scully. Scully gets locked in the hold and Van buren makes (initiates) contact with him. He is bribed somehow to get to the Danzig Trader and kill the two men that accompanied Skully on board the "Dog" here! So he picks a time condusive to achieving both secretive murders at near the same time and without being caught and in fact runs the two of them through. Sending the first overboard and then while sticking the second he the victim infact knowing he's all but fatally wounded in a last ditch effort he latches on to Van Buren and drags him overboard as well and ends up drowning him / her. But where is Shipwreck?

Favorite Songs: Well then not that I spend much time in these threads but I am going to share one that everyone is certainly going to sing along in thier head with. This song is on my top twenty list and always (never fails) to get me in the mood for the weekend! "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" By Meatloaf on the Bat Out of Hell album I remember every little thing As if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake And there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl Looking any better than you did And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight! Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely dressed Ain't no doubt about it Baby got to go and shout it Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed 'Cause we were barely dressed And we were barely dressed Baby doncha hear my heart You got it drowning out the radio I've been waiting so long For you to come along and have some fun And I gotta let you know No you're never gonna regret it So open up your eyes I got a big surprise It'll feel all right Well I wanna make your motor run And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight! Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light You got to do what you can And let Mother Nature do the rest Ain't no doubt about it We were doubly blessed 'Cause we were barely seventeen And we were barely- We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way And tonight's the night... RADIO BROADCAST OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! Stop right there! I gotta know right now! Before we go any further! Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? Do you love me!? Will you love me forever!? Do you need me!? Will you never leave me!? Will you make me happy for the rest of my life!? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!? I gotta know right now Before we go any further Do you love me!? Will you love me forever!? Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it And I'll give you an answer in the morning Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it And I'll give you an answer in the morning Let me sleep on it I gotta know right now Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? I gotta know right now! Before we go any further Do you love me? And will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Baby, baby let me sleep on it Let me sleep on it And I'll give you an answer in the morning Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever!!!! Na na na na I'll tell you in the morning I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore that I would love you to the end of time! So now I'm praying for the end of time To hurry up and arrive 'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do do dooooo Praying for the end of time, so I can end my life with you!! It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better that it is today Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife It never felt so good it never felt so right Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better that it is today It was long ago and it was far away And it was so much better that it is today

Mary Queen of Scotts

I have walked the decks in search of remembering this womans face fairly tall 5' and 6 heavy arm muscles and strong legs as well. Not good looking by any stretch but almost handsome and it hit me. I ran back to the three bodies and uncovered the woman. I am right. Turning I look for the master gunner He is below on the gun deck I surmise. I again turn to Mr Lassiter. "Quartermaster I say look here man..... This woman we are with suspect as to whom she could be well sir I have figured this puzzle and see how this plays if you will. Our missing two men one of which Shipwreck John is a true loss. Then there's the gunners powder monkey Van Buren..... Look, look at this face and see that this woman is Van Buren!

sun over beach

The commotion going on above and behind me wasn't even the smallest of distractions. I knelt over the three of em lying there and was involved in blessing a silent passage to those met and known. I had worked my way from Mr Eynbrecht over to Mr. Visser noticing last this womans familiarity. I got up staring at her....... (I turned to our Quartermaster) Mr lassiter does she look in any way familliar?
