*Coming along side of the Lady, the Captain pulls in his oars and secures the boat to a metal loop attached to the step-ladder for just such an occasion. As he does so, he feels a rapping on his back. Turning about, he realizes that the Girl from the assault was still at his side. Loyalty had just spit in the face of War. With a smile, he bent down to the girl and tried to whisper in her ear, once again he was not sure of his volume*
"Up the ladder with ye'. Find the man that looks to be giving orders, that be Doctor Baxter. Have him assist me in bringing Officer Ares to an an available operating surface. She is losing too much blood. Quickly now, away with you."
*Patting the child on the back, he removes his long headband and wraps it twice around Miss Ares's torso in order to stop the bleeding. Bloody as she was, she still shown with radiant beauty. Her courage was beyond doubt, but her stubborness to turn from battle needed to be delt with or it would prove fatal.
Finishing her temporary bandaging, he knelt before her and raised his one solitary finger. Putting it to her lips, he looked proudly into her eyes and then spoke, trying desperately to be quiet.*
"Live To Fight Another Day, My Young Gun... Be Healed, Rest & Soon You Shall Return To Your Duties."
*With a smirk, he signalled that they were about to mount the side and go above to the deck. Bracing himself, he picks her up and puts her over his shoulder. Slowly he begins to climb*

Hearing a skiff hitting off the side of the Lady, Baxter spun around, and began to walk to the rail.
"I need some help, we've got some wounded!"
As He neared the rail, Baxter knelt down near the ladder and extended his arms. He still had not realized who the wounded lady was, partly due to the fact that he had not been a part of the crew long enough to distinguish faces short of the Captain.
"You can hand her up to me, Captain. Captain? CAPTAIN!"
Seeing that the Captain was not responding, he pieced to gether that all was not well with the him, either.
"I need six men, at least. What I am going to ask you to do can be construed as mutiny. I shall take full responsibility should this happen. I believe the Captain is wounded although he will not show it. Keep him on this ship until I have had a chance to look over him. Without the Captain, all will be lost. Do I have any volunteers?"
No man stepped forward, and this was understandable. Baxter knew that he could be shot for such an act of boldness. However he had to do something. He tried again,
"Does nobody here care for the Captain's well being? Quit thinking of yourself. You know how stubborn he is; he'll not admit his injury, but instead he'll attempt to jump back in the fray."
Finally a few men reluctantly stepped forward. Only 3 had volunteered, and not the original 6 he had asked for. However, he would not force anybody to do such a task. He had also hoped that the Captain would willingly get checked out of his own accord, but he was still trying to prepare for the fact that he wouldn't.
His thoughts then turned to the woman who was shackled and cleaning the quarterdeck. He did not know how the Captain would take her presence aboard. He also feared that he may share a similay or worse fate than her for his actions. Only time would tell.

*Arriving at the top of the steps, he arrived on deck and placed Miss Ares down gently on the nearest flat hatchway. Grabbing the Doctor by the shoulder, he spoke to him.*
"She's been run through. Check to see that no vital organs have been pierced and see that she is well tended to. I want her wounds cleaned so as to prevent infection and then bandaged. I command of you to keep this one alive.
I'll be going back ashore to see the Colour's struck. I have a Tea Party to see to upon the heights of the Citadel. Good Work Doctor, good work indeed. I intend to see you somehow rewarded for this."
*As he looks about the Deck, four men, including the Doctor himself were not saying a word, but slowly closing in on him like hunters do a Fox. The jig was up, he'd been figured out. They knew his hearing was gone and the Doctor was feeling courageous.
Quickly, he grabbed Miss Omi around the waist, drew his pistol upon her and stood to the rail, looking at the oncoming persuers*
"Stand your men down Doctor, or I'll off the Las..."
*Feeling terribley sorry for having to traumatize the poor child, he picks Omi up in one arm and mounts the shroudlines. Doing anything to tranquilize him while on the shrouds would put the two of them into the Bay and the Captain would most certainly drown if he was unconcious. Cocking the pistol as a warning, he looks on as Baxter's men close in.*
"I'll have you all hanged for this... ecspecially you, Baxter. Preventing a ship's Captain from going about his duties is a treasonable offense, as I'm sure you well know. Now, stand down or I'll shoot the child..."

*heeding the Captain's words, she fought desperately to keep consciousness. She would stay awake, for she believed that if she were to sleep now, she might ne'er awaken to the sound of the sea again. As the Captain lifted her up, pain surged through her torso, as she finally had calmed down enough to feel the full pain of her injuries*
What have those Redcoats done to me?
*she gritted her teeth and furrowed her brow as the Captain climbed aboard, careful not to let the siren's voice in her to escape. As the Captain came up and set her down, she looked back as he finally snapped at the good doctor. She felt what was going on, and she knew that this would all end badly. She drew her pistol with the strength she had left, the adrenaline pumping what blood she had left. She pointed it straight at the doctor's head*
Doctor, I suggest you call these men off. Most of them are my crew, and I do not appreciate the mutiny afoot...

*Whilst still purched upon the shrouds. he see's Miss Ares drifting in and out of conciousness.*
"Miss Ares! I ask of you a favor!
Please, for My life and Miss Omi's..
..SIREN, SCREAM OUT!"

Aye, Captain...as you wish.
*she opens her mouth and a shrill sound starts to come out, not able to be heard at first, but then booming in the ears of those people around her. Hoping that the Captain had covered Omi's ears, she screamed just as long as her body would let her, before she fell back, coughing and weak.*

*Having been rendered deaf, he did what he could to cover Miss Omi's ears, but it was lost in what happend next. Taking her up in his arms, he jumped from the lower-shrouds to the siderail and jackknifed into the water below...
As he opened his eyes imid the depths, the viberations of Miss Ares's Voice could be seen in a physical form from below the water. An amazing spectacle, the sound waves flashed in a brillant array of colours. The Sea has strange and mystical abilities, but until now... he hadn't known about the beauty of the Sirens Lullaby.
Coming to the surface, he threw Miss Omi aboard and then hauled himself into the longboat. Throwing his soaked jacket into the bow of the craft, he instructed Miss Omi to do the same, so as not to get sick.
Grabbing the oars, he situated himself and rowed like a madman and made for the shore. As he rowed, he realized that Doctor Baxter had been acting only out of the good of his heart, but Kurisutofa didn;t care at this point. Everything had gone considerabley well up unto this point.
As the vessel ran aground, the Captain jumped overboard and hauled teh longboat up onto the sandy beach. As he helped Miss Omi out of the boat, he looked back to the ship.*
Thank you Ares... I saved your life, you saved mine. We're square.

Still holding his ears from the deafening scream, Baxter noticed that the Captain had jumped ship and was headed back into town.
"This will not end well" he muttered to himself
However he did not have time to worry about that, he had a patient to tend to. He quickly picked her up and proceeded down below where his tools were.

-Seeing as to how most of the comotion died down, he grew tired and sat down to catch his breath. He wondered were the rest of his ship mates were and then guessed they must have gone back. He looked on as most of his squad made it out alive, only three or four casualties on his side. He looked onward towards the Lady, to see if anyone was onboard.-

*cubby hearing a loud noise coming from above, sat up in a strange state. the last thing he remembers is singing to a lovely girl and then hearing something about a brother and a loud "whack!!" and a sharp pain. now he was on the ship.*
what the? who? were? ... ******** *and grabs the large lump on the back of his head* who the bleeding hell could'a carried me back 'ere now?... when is it.
*cubby gets up and wanders about the ships sleeping quarters and finds that is is well after the raid and we were apparently at sea... or he was still drunk.*
i suppose i should see who won then shouldn't i?
*walking up the stairs and listening to his stomach growl and a dull roar on the ships main deck he wanders up and begins to mingle to the front of the lot.*
can i have someone tell me what happened, damn and i didn't even get to have any fun either... can someone just give me a rundown of what happened maybe an explanation the random gathering, maybe even if you could tell me were the captain is?

*She stopped cleaning the deck for a moment as the Doctor asked for volunteers to help restrain the Captain upon the ship.*
"I'm not risking my life for a Captain I don't know of yet... especially not to restrain him and the Doctor taking charge... Is this man crazy?" she wondered, her eyes wide as the thoughts still as to what may happen when the Captain finds her shackled aboard his ship. Or worse, what would the Doctor do if this act succeeded?
*As Captain boarded, the altercation became more heated upon the ship. This man was the one and the same she had seen holding the Doctor before when knocked out by the loosened mortar and stone. Upon seeing part of his crew inching in on him, she watched intently as to what would happen. She had forgotten to continue with her chores, she figured now would be as good a time as any to see just what these people are like.
Heated words were spoken by the Captain about treason as he held a pistol to a child clenched in one arm, heading back over the rail of the ship. Then seeing the woman on the deck pulling her pistol, she stares at the two.*
"The Doctor IS as crazy as I had thought! The whole lot is! They're going to off eachother!" She thinks as she watches the whole situation rise to another level. Then the Captain shouts to the woman on the deck with the pistol and the words make little sense to her.
"Siren?... wha?" confused, her eyes darted back to the woman near her on the deck.
*As the young woman opened her mouth, a sound unlike anything she had heard before came from within her. The sound she produced was deafening and incompasitating, seeing that this woman was laid right beside her. She tried to cover her ears but the sound was so violently strong, she passed out from the noise just as the woman fell back to the deck.*

*Waking to the sound of Ares' scream, Kubain jolts up and covers his ears tightly. Kubain's head raised as high as it can go, eyes clinching becuase of the pain. The vibrations of the sounds made the open wounds resonate, causing even more pain.
Kubain's wounds were quite severe, mostly deep grazes in the underarm, mostly from his attempts to dodge enemy swords. His fists were also covered in blood, but it belonged to the now-limp corpses besides him. Under the layer of blood was a series of bruises around his knuckles from his overuse during the fight. The biggest wound was a stab in the shoulder, and was bleeding quite heavily.
Once the scream ended, Kubain opened his eyes to see the blood and death everywhere around him.*
I need to go back to the ship...if I can...where is a damn doctor when you need one?
*even though his wounds caused a massive amount of pain, Kubain managed to stand up and attempt to walk back to the ship and heal, but his slow, almost-mechanical movements open up the wounds on his torso and sides, causing even more pain.*

-Growing tired, he decided to get the boat ready to head back to the ship. He called all his squad to report to him and assisst him with the boat. He waited a bit until everyone was ready to leave.-

((By the way, Captain, when did you find out my name? I'd never said it... Does it matter?))
*Ok, so now she was wet, freezing, coatless, and completely confused. He had pulled a gun on her! But he had seemed so nice, and still seemed nice. He was obviously stubborn as an a**, but when did that matter? So was she. He was still kind to her, not to mention he was the only person she knew, and she was terrified of being lost and alone. She still wasn't very sure why he'd threatened to shoot her, but... Shrugging, she continued to follow him, sure that he had his reasons for whatever he was doing. He could probably use whatever backup he could get, anyway.*

((Continued from Medical Deck))
*The doctor carried Ares to the Main deck for some air, and after that painful ordeal, she needed it. As he set her down on the wooden planks of the deck, she winced a little and then the pain was dulled. She closed her eyes and sighed. She opened them back up again to the look of the doctor's face*
Doc, I'm gonna need some more rum...
