Attention, Region Six. A draft is scheduled to commence on August 25th for five days following. Your location will be the West Central Ocean, en route to Kano Harbour via three ships. Choose a suitable captain for each, and the pilots will be programmed to follow your orders. Don't waste my time with incompetence, either. Put in charge only those who deserve it.

These are the residents who have been selected to participate.

[As usual, the list posted HERE is offered in text form, sans the mun names.]

Your mission is to protect the cargo ship above all else. Within three days you will reach your destination. Opposition numbers, rank, and skill are impossible to predict, however, their equipment often prevents them from attacking at night. Remain on guard, but take advantage of the respite you may receive by night. Upon reaching the harbour, the cargo will be unloaded. You are to continue protecting it until it is safely out of range of their attacks. I would advise against swimming unless you want to die.

For those of you who were involved in the last draft, I have only one thing to say: your performance was acceptable.

Over and out.

[Once again, the commandant will not reply to anything but draft-related questions or particularly inspiring comments, so if you're looking for a response, be sure to give her something worth answering!]

[Ah well, that gets a cocky grin, but she'll stick to writing. You...sound much less capable when you have a snuffly voice, really.] Do my best to. At least this sort of thing we're in our element, huh?

[all7seas]

[And he will stick to voice, for now.]

In our element with a true horizon! It'll be nice to stretch our legs for a spell, eh?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Definitely. It's almost a pity it's only three days. [...] Who are our top bids for captains?

[all7seas]

From what I understand? James Norrington. Horatio Hornblower. Trafalgar Law. And myself, sweetness. Though nothing's been decided.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Better hurry up with that.

Lieutenant Kennedy says I should choose for myself which ship to be on.

[all7seas]

Well you've sailed with myself before, love. And I'll not be chundering all over the decks this time....

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? [She's genuinely happy for him on that one.] I'm glad to hear it.

You're definitely one of my top choices.

[all7seas]

Your faith humbles me, Mistress Navigator. And you're my only choice of navigator, should the blasted clockwork shatter.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Go with what she knows. She's familiar enough to working with Jack that the option is tempting.]

It seems I am also the only navigator going. [It doesn't sound as teasing when she writes it, dammit. So she'll just make sure he can see her cheeky grin.]

[all7seas]

Possible; I haven't found my compass yet, but that'd be something as well.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

You lost your compass?

[all7seas]

Not lost. Just never FOUND it here is all. They sent me back without it, it would seem.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Well, that sucks. I'll keep an eye out for it in the shops.

[all7seas]

Many thanks, darling. Luck to you in the war, eh? Perhaps we'll raise our swords together.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[There is some dotting on the page here.]

Do your best to come home in one piece this time.

[all7seas]

And you, Navigator. [Jack will come home in MOSTLY one piece; his dignity, however, is another matter.]

[simplestgift]

Someone with your qualifications deserves to have her choice. Otherwise the captains will all tear each other apart to decide who can have you.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saying so, Lieutenant. Once I find out which captains we have, I'll make that choice.
