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.)

[ Initially, Caesar had been working towards getting sent on this particular mission, as he owed a certain someone a certain amount of gold. He hadn't been entirely sure who else would be sent along, aside from the very much requested Gamora, but he supposed the others could fight...

Anyway, once they're shuffled off to the transporter and dumped into the Chinese port town, holographic disguises and all, they have some time to look around. Not much, though. They have a merchant ship to catch, provided they figure out how to get aboard! ]

[ And once they're aboard, there's not much to do but stick to their own room (or hiding place, provided how they got on) and wait for the sound of battle. Did anyone bring some cards...? ]

[ FINALLY, the merchant ship is attacked on the dawn of the 14th. At first there's only a chase, but then the ships close in side by side and that's when the real fight begins. Swords clanging, ropes swinging, that sort of thing. Now's their time to board...

And once that's cleared up, they'll have to figure out which parts of the treasure to transport back with them! ]
