Capsized Cap’n, that’s whot I said an’ says now. she be up side down an’ her crew be headin’ to her below lecks which now be above, that be meanin the rest o’ the plunder be astern and far below in captains quarters, I thinks me eye saw many coloured jewels I do. Many colours indeed, an’ some be sparklin’ with many colours but colourless to themselfs. Cap’n? I spied a fine hat an a swashbucklin’ sword if ever there be, must’n it be this foul vessle’s skipper’s? ‘Tis yourn now! Where be **Kn(foul soul)ckers**? Me thinks something be’st devlish here! **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** be right there be a ghastly glow below an’ it be large, I can sees it when I dives below to come up’rds ta air, then I sees it as a strangely glowin shadow I does. Big it be, be it. Thinks I when I first sees it I says to me “Whot?” I says. “The ghost o’ the Flyin’ Duchman?”. Then I thinks “nay, it has legs too many and a tail too long but it’s eyes do glow as should they.” I thinks to meself. Then I hears this timber shiverin bark! I fears the worst, I fears the canine aqua beast n’er to be seen by the livin an’ told about by o’er than crazy sailors deep in their rum. I fears **Dogzilla**! ---

**Pilot tunabreath** , I thankee for the hat ‘n’ cutlass. They be right fine. Go back with the rest of the men and be sure the crew of the late _Poseidon_ be totally incapacitated. Once done thar, each o’ ye gather up the most gold and jools ye can carry and git back aboard the _Ted_. 'Ware that thar sea monstar, whot ever it might be, and git aboard safely. We 'ave to be quick–ye’ve a quarter hour to be back aboard, or we leave ye due to the code. ---

I been coverin’ the decks of that thar raft with cannon loaded full o’ _ **Mutant Devil Killer Bunnies from Space** _ TM as ordered, Cap’n, but seein’ how that thar raft is capsized wi’ 'er decks awash, there’s really no point. Reloadin’ the long nines with grapeshot, sah, in case that dark shadowy thing breaches the surface. Beggin me Cap’n’s pardon, sah, but any chance of rescuin’ survivers from that raft? The way these here piratin’ 'ventures work, one of 'em 's likely to be worth a goodly fortune in ransom. ---

[checking script] Yarrr! Cap’n Sir Ma’am. We should be able to cut trough the Poseidon\*'s hull at it’s thinnest point. But that thar cello music the monkey be play’n is right gettin’ on me nerves.
