Few words this Adventure, has been more fun to
write than any I've done in the past. I'm not a writer
more a story teller. Can two books finish this saga?
That remains to be seen. The Second Part opens at
Map Grid 21.99 - 71.69 near Turks and Caicos Island. Feel free to look it up its real. Enjoy all.

Busard paced the deck no marker lights moon cloud covered, nervous he hated travelling this way. Mister Collen no night light, at all sky like
black ink. Keep a good eye out, we've no need ta
hit our own ships now. Sir they should be aft of
us not a port or starboard. Collen in this ink who
would know where you are. Besides man, these
Merchant Captains aren't used to traveling together. Go ta battle with the likes of them.
What ya judge our speed to be Collen? I figure
twelve knots, how you? Sir not more than fourteen
my figuring. Sir is that. I see it nice lit up place, just
two maybe three degrees off the bow port side.

Mister Wilson signal lamp, lite it below black lense
till ya aft red lense aft. Two swings stop two swings
three flashes. Shout out when done Lad, Collen turn a starboard on the shout, three degrees man.
I thinks we found them. Done Sir! Turn us a starboard Collen! We run this course an hour, no
more swing back on course in an hour. Yes Sir one
hour Sir. Wilson stay on the Bridge Lad, keep a watch aft now. I need to check my charts, I'll wake the crew. Full alert Mister Collen pass it along.
Consider it done Sir. Collen my time piece has three, yours man? Just a tick past three. Thank you
Collen I'm off. Sir rather a black night, heading in
for some sleep? No crewman go below wake the crew. Full alert now pass it on.

Steel Ship Captains Quarters

What do you mean? This Flat Top has been dead in
the water! For over a month, those Chosen on board have drove me crazy! When will the repairs
be finished? Sir late tomorrow no sooner than say
twenty one hundred. That's the Chiefs best estimate Sir. Joe sit have some coffee, the yelling is
over. I'm tired this old ship is tired, I don't think the Carter has it in her. Frank you need to watch what you say, Chosen have ears all around us.
The last of them were transferred to the Constellation, she is underway now. Good out of
our hair so to speak. How many aircraft are capable to fly? Hanger crew says five out of the twenty we have. Only ten well trained pilots any way. Frank we only have enough fuel to make maybe hundred sorties. Damn it Joe, what good are we? None of these ships work up to par, we have no communication. We're lucky the damn things still work. We don't even have ammo to protect our selves. We can't waste the fuel or the bombs our gun rounds if attacked!

Listen Frank we all know, this wasn't well thought
out. We do the best we can, word was sent we moved the Chosen on. What more can we do.
Chosen! My ass, Joe you know it wasn't always the
Chosen and the commoner. The Food Chain my boney Black ass knows that! We were all equal till
the hard times. We don't even have a chance to move up. Unless we get elected to the Senate or Assembly. Frank its been this way for least two thousand years. Change will come when we have America back. Mark my words, Joe that will never
happen. Well lets get some rest, best be ready to
move soon as the ship is ready. Oh and Joe didn't mean anything about race and all, both Chosen and commoner pretty much equal out. How you
put it boney Black Ass, well my Asian ass knows that too. Bet all know that, even the mixed race.
Frank get some rest see you in about four hours.
Rest easy Joe, if they have a Navy if its like those
wooden ships we saw a few weeks ago. Don't think
they can sink us, might do damage enough to hold
us up more. I'll have rifles issued for the crew maybe two fifty cal one mounted each side two hundred rounds a piece. Other than that can't do much more.
