so that is why therer are wasps who keep bees because they
can't make honey themselves. On an expedition to Grantham England
I saw a pub that had a beehive out front with a sign that read:
"Stop travelor-this wondrous sign explore,
and when thou hast viewed it o'er and o'er
O Grantham now two rarities are thine
A lofty steeple and a living sign"

Dear me, itr has been months since we posted here. that soap-scum on the magic lights looks recent though. Where is a scrub-bot when you need one? Shagbark sets about cleaning the magic lights.

Magic lights...I don't think I should interfere in things I don't understand

greetings Admiral. we mainly use these lights as decoration and illumination at christmastime.
shagbark turns on a string.
star>star>star>.

looks like I need to replace aboutr three lamps.

there that should do it.

a scrubbot finally shows up and shagbark sets it cleaning the deck boards. Then climbing therigging he goes back to the pelican's nest.

*Blows bubbles down at Shagbark as he climbs the rigging.*

Did I just see that? Someone working...on this ship...wait till' Peirce finds out about this. I wonder if there will be some sort of flogging involved!

You think that is something. You should see what CG is doing. He is making some new cannons for the ship.

Ooooh what type?

with balls...

one of them just missed my

Now I know I'm no expert on maritime warfare but should'nt cannons be firing away from the ship...

doesn't that depend on what you're aiming at?

It also helps if the cannons are on the outside of the ship

indeed, experimenting with them in your private quarters is usually frowned upon

but hey, they say there are worse accidents happening on the sea

Well accidents are surely the fault of poor leadership!

it stands to reason therefore that if there are worse accidents apart from the blood, it is because they have worse leaders than Captain Pierce.

Oh and while we are on the subject of accidents- did we get the top of that mast recapped that Mari- Rae clipped with her rocket?

aye. we will however have to replace the whole thing once more. turns out flint tampered with the l.e.d.'s programme

I call her Elda, and if you replace her when you repair the mast, will you get a tamper-resistant dumb-waiter (TRDW)?
