    Futuristic The Taxmen Cometh

    Officers Wang and Kohen continued on the road toward Regal Apartments, sitting precariously on the border between the slums of Roddam and the neighborhoods of Helton. The rampant gang activity and petty crime kept the rent low, compared to living closer to the Combat Zone, where rent was almost...

    Futuristic The Taxmen Cometh

    Assets Officer Uriah set in the driver seat of the '34 Chevillon HELLA unmarked service vehicle, gliding to a stop behind a dusty taxi-cab with four heads bobbing around visible to the repo-men through the back window, at a red-light. The HELLA was nothing to write home about, but got the pair...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Boudoin nods solemnly as you tell him of your plot to entrap Bauer. "Understood. We'll take care of it ourselves -- serves 'em right," he says, before spitting onto the deck. It seems that you've convinced him not to go running to Rackham as soon as you get to New Providence. Before Boudoin or...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Boudoin's jaw drops as you regale him with this fabrication. "You...he what?" he asks, though you know he heard you clearly. A look of disbelief comes over him, and for a moment you think you've failed to fool him. "I don't know what to say -- that is quite a...revelation," Boudoin says...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    During your conversation prior to dinner, Jacob's main concern had been that Boudoin has discovered that the debtor used opium, and frequently. He was vague about how he knew Boudoin learned this, saying "he's been asking questions." You suppose it probably was not a big secret that the man was...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Boudoin smiles ear to ear as you tell him he's got the night off of watch. Though he's proven himself to be made up of more than just the brass and no brains you thought he was (reminder on Boudoin lore, he was a colonel in the British army, an infantryman onboard a ship is a rare sight) in his...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You eagerly find a seat in the impromptu mess hall, sitting right next to the counter from which Rich and, now Ezekiel, serve plates. Also, sitting at a table with the following -- Boudoin, Browne, Harding, Haytham, them being your four Mates, Finn (what's that mfs surname I forgot), Wells, his...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Jacob seems pleased with your terms, particularly perking up when you explain that you plan to let him and his deal with whichever the true witness might be. "Very good sir," Jacob tells you, before you bid one another farewell and he takes his leave of you. You glance out the window, and...

    "Very well," Jacob says curtly. He is visibly displeased with your insistence on this path, and you may have jaded him with your remark, though you doubt it - he's got thick skin and he's also a good friend despite the circumstances. "But, I won't be the one to send them to you," he insists...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Jacob seems confused by your request to send the witnesses to you. "Sir? You're certain you want your involvement in this to be known?" he asks. It is true, if you brought the three potential witnesses to you and ordered their silence, they'd connect the dots to see that you're indeed working...

    "There are two links. One, the opium -- I am the first you'd think of when it comes to a supplier of that sort of thing aboard the ship, and Boudoin assumes correctly that the drug was involved in the motive for the killing. Second...Unfortunately, someone witnessed my shooter -- that being...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    Jacob takes his lecturing in silence, nodding every few seconds to show his acknowledgement and understanding. At the end of it, he nods almost so deeply as to bow, showing you extreme deference which, for a moment, feels exagerrated and mocking. But the sarcastic nature of the gesture is...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    With the Hunters pursuit warded off, you are clear to cruise the sea toward your destination. As you do so, time begins to fly, as things are quiet and calm, nothing comes immediately to your attention, aside from Rich's dinner. An hour and a half later, you find yourself in your Captain's...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You call for the mortar to resume firing, and so it does at once. As you lift a fire barrel abreast, accompanied by a deckhand with a small torch for lighting, you watch as one of Boudoin's shot strike nearly true. It lands directly in front of one of the gunboats. Immediately, both ships haul...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You watch intently as your mortar fire splashes harmlessly into the sea. Out of maybe six rounds sent, only a single one struck close enough to either of the enemy ships to at least chuck some water at her from the impact of the shots' landing. Boudoin's no artilleryman, but at least he seems to...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You stand at the side of your helmsman mostly as a figure of bravery, authority, determination and certainty as your crew and officers do most of the actual escaping. You permit the usage of the fire barrels, but as your crew begins to set up for the use of them, you get an unexpected...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You call for the crew to get the mainsails into the winds, double-quick. They'd already pulled up the anchor upon sighting of the ships - it was unfortunate timing for you and all your officers to be in your Quarters, though nobody had come to alert you, so likely the ships had just been seen...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You and your officers agree on setting sail for Port Royale, to inquire about ransoming off the captured British captain. Coming out of your Captain's Quarters, however, you learn of yet another distraction, before you can inform your crew of your next destination. From the crow's nest, Pierre...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    With relative haste, you assemble Andrew, Louis, William, Alex, and Finn to discuss your next moves - after sorting our Ezekiel's role on the ship with Rich. You meet in your Captain's Quarters. You sit in your chair behind your desk, your First and Second Mates stand at your sides, while your...

    Realistic or Modern The Golden Age of Piracy [KurtH6355 & Myxyzptik]

    You free each man individually. Almost all of them take your hand into both of theirs as you do so, squeezing and shaking your hand in gratitude. Several are overcome with emotion and weep quietly, including Pierre. Even Wyatt takes your hand this, and gives you a toothy smile, seemingly having...
