*She took careful aim, and when she felt the timing was right, as she did with all shots, she lit the fuse. She sound of the shot rang through her ears for the next several minutes.*
Anything else, Captain, or shall we watch our heads now?

After hearing the shots above deck, she quickly removed herself from the captain's quarters onto the main deck. The sunlight blinded her momentarily as she rose to a sight of mayhem. Throwing her hand to her mouth she would be horrified if didn't know it was all an act, but now she felt sick herself. She had applied some rouge heavily after caking on her white powder to give the illusion of a feaver but her getup was nothing compared to what looked like rotting skin and black spots covering some of the crew.

-: "That will be it for the fireworks, Miss Ares. Let's secure the gun and return to our stations. The Boadicea should be hailing us wihtin a minute or two now. I want all officers standing sickly yet proud when they try to come aboard." :-

From under his shroud the sleeping Baxter turned violently, "No, Father, please don't hit me again!"

Upon hearing the doctor cry out, Destiny made her way back to the prostrate form on the deck, adding a few stumbles to make the ilusion convincing.
She sat down beside the form of the doctor, and began stroking his hair, and whispering " Shhh.. its ok. You're safe.. rest easy.. shhh.."She took his hand in hers, and held it, trying to ease his mind enough for him to get some well-deserved rest.

*She had been leaning against some rigging for support, not too far from the Doctor, when she heard him cry out in his sleep. As she turned, Jaden noticed Miss Destiny going to his side. Walking clumsily towards the good Doctor, she slipped and fell to her knees beside them. She smiled at Miss Destiny and nodded to her.*
"Thank you Miss Destiny... If you should like, I can take care of him. I know you have much to do with being the Captain's steward and all. You'll need to be by his side when the Bodicea comes within range" she whispered to her.
*She sat all the way down and cradled the Doctor's head in her lap. She wiped her brow a moment before she stroked his hair as he lay sleeping aboard the deck. She began to hum a low and quiet tune to the sleeping Doctor as she watched the Bodicea's sails come closer into view.*

"SI- *cough* -LENCE FORE AND AFT! MISS DESTINY, QUIET THAT MAN BEFORE HE GETS US ALL KILLED..."
-: Having turned sharply, Jack's eyes gone wide with anger and concern. Turning back to the Boadicea, he'd turned just in time, the Marines were lined up upon the starboard rail and their rifles looked ot be primed and ready. Her officers were looking dow upon the brig from their station. Below upon one of the lower decks, Jack could make out the humming and shouting of the hands that were at their supper:
WE KNOCKED AWAY THEIR RIGGIN' AND THEN THE MASTS THEY FELL.
WE RAKED 'EM WITH A BROADSIDE AND SENT 'EM STRAIGHT TO HELL
OH, WE'LL SINK E'M DOWN - TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA..
AND WE'LL SEND 'EM DOWN TO THEIR DANCE WITH DESTINY!
It was pointless to wonder why their crews weren't being silenced. The demoralisation wa working it's wonders upon anyone who heard it. Especially those who were being targeted by the great guns of a 74 Gun Ship. :-

*cough cough*
Captain....these songs are working marvelously to make the crew actually look sick....
*she looks around to see that the songs were taking a toll on the morale of the crew, but if looked at in a different perspective, it was a positive effect. The crew started to look desolate and helpless...*

*John laid on deck staring up into the sky, it made him look helpless and the will to live slipped away.
There was a small groove in the planks underneth John from the attack; it made for good use of hidding weaponry in case of unwanted guest, mainly from the "Boadicea".*
It be hot..., yet I be cold.

She stared out at the enemy, her eyes slit against the brightness of the sun. Her gown glinted in the bright morning and glowed white, making her almost impossible to look directly at. Coughing in the chilly morning goose pimples ran up her arm at the thought of what the day would bring.

Still kneeling over the Doctor, Destiny untied one of the bandanas from her belt, and whispered softly, I"m sorry Doctor, but for the good of us all, we need you quiet.
She gently tied the bandana tighly around the Doctor's mouth, leaving him room to breathe, but not the ability to speak or cry out. She turned his head back to the side, and recovered it with the blanket, using her body to shield the gentle ministrations to the good Doctor.
She bowed her head, and mimicked sorrowful sobs for the benefit of those watching from the other ship. She then shakily stood,and wobbeled and wound her way to the Captain's side. She saluted half-heartedly, and then reported " The Doctor will make no more noise sir. As your Steward, what might I do to assist you in this venture?

-: "Miss Ravenhart, my orders at this time are thus: Find another crewmen to help you bring my seachest ondeck. Make sure that all my uniforms and personal belongings are squared away neatly. I'll need my large spyglass, boxed compass and my best sword. Oh, and please place this hat below in the Ares's cabin and bring me my Bicorn. Thank you, my dear."
Handing Destiny his beloved round hat, he paced to the taffrail and then foreward again. Running his hand over the hard wood rails and down the banister, Jack descended down along the quartersteps and into the waist of the ship. Passing the port-guns, Jack smiled as the men and women of the ship eyed his actions. Coming to a halt in front of the Doctor, he whispered to him as if in prayer, "I've made a decision that may upset the crew and yourself. Just take care of them for me. No matter what happens, make sure that the crew remains loyal to Miss Ares. A Ship with no Captain can be terribley hostile. Goodbye, Old Friend." Patting Baxter's head gently, Jack turned and addressed the crew. His face was long and worn, but he wore a knowing smile. "Stay the Course."
No more was said than that short sentence. Turning, he went to the larboard rail and called to the 'Boadicea'.
"AHOY, BOADICEA! I REQUEST COUNCIL WITH YOUR FLAG-OFFICER!"
Stepping up the quartersteps, Jack threw a glance at Miss Ares. The look on his face was stern and serious, but his eyes shown with kindness and respect for his young officer. Turning to face the Boadicea, he guestured behind his back for her to stand by his side. "Miss Ares, I want you to listen and listen closely. Your life and the life of everyman aboard depends on your actions... nay, the life of the Lady depends on your actions. Do you understand?" :-

Destiny took the Captain's hat, and stared him right in the eye, trying to find an answer or explanation of a plan in them, and then turned to carry out his orders. She did not like what she saw there, and at the same time, it saddened her, as made her way below, grabbing one of her gun crew to help her with the Captain's sea trunk.
************* continued in the Destiny's Quarters****************
