Jack scowls. Why the hell are so many deserting? They'll just die anyway.

A mysterious passenger lurks in the darkness below deck, his wrists still raw from the shackles he has so recently freed himself of. He enters the munitions hold, where Midshipman Smithwick Thomas is doing inventory. Smithwick Thomas, a member of the navy since youth, is being groomed for military command as his family title would dictate. He hates the sea, he is a poor sailor and lacks the charisma for effective command. He deep down wishes to move to the country side and write poetry. He his disliked by the crew, and even more so by the Captain. He is frequently ordered to do menial tasks below deck where he cannot do any harm to the ship. These days he is seldom seen and many do not even remember what he looks like.
I approach quietly from from behind a battened down stack of crated cannon balls. As he continues to inventory the munitions, I collect a 1" hemp rope that had been stowed, and I tear a piece of tarpaulin of from the linen covering the cannon balls. In a moment it is over, before he knew what happened Smithwick Thomas was knocked unconscious. I quickly switch my tattered garments for his uniform. I bind him and gag him and stow him behind some cases of spare ramrods in the corner. I quickly make my exit and begin my mission to find some disgruntled members of the crew who I can convince to aid me in my escape. William makes his way up a small flight of steps and approaches some of the crew. As expected they stand at attention and salute to the midshipman as he passes. So far, so good.

Jack walks down into the hold, people whispering the word "pirate" as he passes. He goes and gets the day's ration of grog (they've started to give it out for a fear of mutiny). He sits down and begins to sing Yo ho, yo ho, it's a pirates life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot, drink up me hearties yo ho. He does this to raise his spirits but it doesn't work. He drinks his grog, and then throws his mug at the wall. He angrily curses and then prays: Oh Lord, please get me off this damned ship. He then notices the young midshipman and whispers to himself. Hold on, he looks different.

William, hears singing, it is not British navay reels, it is Tortugan pub song. He knows this must be a gang pressed man or a pirate forced to labor. Perhaps William has found someone who is willing to help him Sailor, you will salute when an officer approches. Pirate songs are not allowed. You must be punished. 1 hour of hard labor stacking munitions. Follow me to the hold sir.
You will need to explain your un becomming actions.

Jack gets up, holding a rosary in his hand, praying he will not be flogged. Jack salutes. Aye aye sir.

we near the munitions hold, and there are no longer any crew nearby. Did you have your own ship or crew under another mate.

Jack looks around to make sure no ones around. I HAVE several ships, they took me not my ships. Jack looks around again. They captured me in a schooner, which belonged to a friend of mine, I was going to Tortuga to visit me wife. They captured me, took me to a different port and now I am here. The crew that were on that ship are here now. Now, I don't now what you're planning , but we are we going to get more then just 20 men on our side. We need to get at least 400 of the men on the ship on our side.

A young African sailor simply known as Dead overhears Jack and William speak. He was ironically named Dead after he was found in a village in Tortuga after a plague know as black death killed everyone else besides him. He goes into the room with hopes that Jack and Will will be able to help him. Hello I am Dead nice to to meet you Looks nervously towards the pirate. A officer sent me to count how much ammo we have left.
very optimistic person, and very complex person
