"Well THAT was interesting, Nick! The commander of the Coast Guard cutter showed me the warrants for arrest they had for the entire crew. They were drug runners, and pleasure craft hijackers. They would find undefended craft like ours (ahem) and board them at gunpoint. Take the women prisoners and kill the men, then set the boat afire. It seems somebody slipped over the side, and survived in the sea until rescue got there, then gave a description of the men to the Coast Guard.
"And those Uzi's! The Coasties checked the serial numbers, and these guns were stolen from a confiscated property room at a Mexican Naval Base, and have been used in several of these hijackings. There's a big reward for the weapons, and for this ship and crew! Almost half a million dollars!! That should help the dungeon stay solvent for a while, eh Nick? I gave them the information as to where to wire the money, straight into the dungeon account. Mobius should be pleased.
"But enough wasted time. Get "Sailing Master" back out to deeper waters, hoist sail and shut down the diesels. We need to reach point "b" on the chart before sundown!"
A wasted day, perhaps, but a profitable one for the dungeon. Maybe now Mobius won't have to rent out to aliens!
