My name is William Laurence, captain of Temeraire, and friend.
Recent events have made it clear a crew is necessary, for the safety of Temeraire, and in hopes that the two of us may be of service here. At home, a crew would consist of thirty or so men— I expect to need no more than five or so under current circumstances.
At present, I cannot offer any monetary compensation for work done, but only my gratitude, and friendship. My only requirements are that those who apply possess great fortitude, curiosity for the unknown, and have little fear of heights.
[ he takes a breath, choosing his next words carefully, but they still come out somewhat awkward. ]
Nationality is of little importance; medicinal knowledge, after all, has no borders.
Thank you.
