worst pirates ever

Date & Time: 7/12 - 7/14
Location: The Chinese Seas, 19th Century
Characters: Caesar, Gamora, Jericho, & Oz
Summary: The Initative needs a new device to be tested and Caesar needs some treasure stolen; both dilemmas can be solved by robbing a bunch of Chinese pirates!
Warnings: gamora kills a lot of things, the end.

The Chinese Seas, 19th Century. The objective is to obtain control of a merchant ship carrying iron ore, gun powder, and various spices that was historically lost to a particularly infamous pirate crew. It's recorded as their only ever win, and the ship itself never returned to port.

The goal is actually to be sent to the merchant ship a day or so before the pirate boarding, survive the pirate battle and get into the pirate hold, and to secure the Treasure of the Nine Kingdoms so that it never returns to Chinese hands. It is indeed gold-plated, and part of a smaller, more modest hoard of gold on board, along with various other goods, spices, and precious stones. There is also a gold plated chamberpot. (Go figure.)

Sucks to be you.

( SO HELPFUL. )

Not that you'd be worth eating in the first place.

Or dismembering. She could probably kill you with magic, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth.

( at least from what she remembers about adam's magic )

Is that supposed to mean anything?

( because as far as gamora's concerned he's really only good at tactical planning rather than actually being someone that's difficult to kill.

and what's the point of bragging about killing them if they're not a challenge. )

You've got to work harder here.

( Gamora's reasonably certain she's got a reputation among some people for being that one person you don't screw around with. It's a start, at any rate. )

Get enough of a reputation and they'll know better than to try.

( they tend to run away screaming in gamora's case. it works out. )

There's only so much someone can do with a space ship that's going to crash anyway. It could have been on them.
