Some time ago, I posited the idea of building a ship. While it was met with derision by some -- [You know who you are.] -- recent events have convinced me that there is no other reasonable course of action.

We are entering a time of ease now, and I feel very strongly that we must act before the next catastrophe arises. While we have the opportunity and the materials, we can construct a proper ship. This will give us the freedom to explore beyond the turtle's shell, and give us a means of escape, should it sicken again.

I believe there is enough wood from the homes destroyed when the satellite fell to salvage and build a modest ship. It will not hold all of us, but it is a fine start. With more mobility, I believe we can find the materials we need to make a proper go of it.

For those who question my qualifications, I am an Admiral of his Majesty's navy, formerly in the employ of the East India Trading Company. I have more than the proper qualifications to oversee the construction and voyages of such a vessel.

I cannot speak for these waters, but to the best of my knowledge, the Kraken is no longer a concern.

[Joke? What is this "joke" of which you speak?]

I agree entirely. Do you have any skills or abilities that would aid us?

Seriously.

[ A deadpan kind of 'of course you're serious, but this is still ridiculous as hell' and followed by a sigh. ]

That's... comforting, thank you. As for abilities, um. I built a shed with my dad when I was a kid? I'll lend as much of a hand as I can but I'm not exactly a carpenter.

I would hardly joke. I have seen ships destroyed [Friends eaten... let's please not examine his feelings about this too closely] by the beast.

We will make due with what skills we have. Some experience is better than none, after all.

I'll take your word for it. [ and hope you're not totally cray ]

Lincoln Lee. [ by means of introduction ] Let me know what you need and I'll do my best to help you get it, materials or people.

Thank you, Mr. Lee. Admiral James Norrington, at your service.

Admiral. So this should be right up your alley. Do you know where we can get materials? There's not exactly an abundance of wood around.

We are going to have to salvage it, I'm afraid. Some houses were destroyed when the meteor struck the wood section; we'll start there.

Meteor? What meteor?

The satellite that brought the spectres.

[Is he the only one paying attention, or is everyone brand new?]

[ brand new is more apt ]

The what now.

I'm sure you can get an explanation from the network, if you're so inclined. It was quite traumatic for all involved.
