Good afternoon,

I’ve called a meeting of the men that I can trust, the men that are well. This group includes the cabin boy, Gaskin, Rowles, and several others. Elias wasn’t invited. He’s a shifty guy. I can’t trust him. And Milton is too close to the captain. The captain . . . let’s just say that the loss of Wagner has been too much of a strain on him. I can’t trust him to be able to come out of this grief much less hold the crew together. With the help of these guys, I’m planning a takeover....
