Greetings,

Well, Rowles has returned with the life boat. Just Rowles. He left Cisco and the rest on board the Dragon. Told me that Cisco sent him back to make sure we were behaving and following the orders of the new first mate. I asked him what the new captain was doing on board our rival’s ship and Rowles promptly sent me away, on another expedition at that.

Something isn’t right. I’m starting to think that maybe Cisco has been planning this takeover for a long time–ever since he left Corbet...
