Everything was going smoothly, a little too smoothly Squidward thought. They had passed the last patrol with no problems and should be making port in two days. Vinjo was at the helm and they ship was jamming nicely. Squid climbed down off the bridge and started to go below decks, when he felt something. Looking around he spotted the portal just a second before the attack started. The first bolt slammed into the bridge, sweeping Vinjo off the helm and out into the dark.
Squid grabbed the nearest deckhand and threw him towards the ships bell order him to sound the alarm then scrambled back up to the bridge. Scanning the portal he spotted his worst nightmare, a nautiloid. The hive had come. Turning he saw Balanor scramble on the bridge as the ship began to flounder with no helmsman. Balanor took the helm. Just as he sat down in the helm two more bolts of pure psychic energy slammed into the ship. The first one took the yardarm from the foremast, the second slammed into the starboard gunwale ripping a large section away.
The Fight continued for what seemed like hours as the crew struggled. Squid knew their only option was to flee. They were no match for a hive nautiloid. The hive was attacking his mind, sending him images of ripping his body apart and feeding it to the stars. He had to get away quickly.
Four days later the ship limped into port.
They had managed to mostly survive, but now they were way undermanned. Over half the crew had been killed in the fight. The ship is badly damaged, and the repairs would eat up almost all the funds from selling the cargo.
Post an interlude describing what you did during the fight or what you are doing in port to help find new crew or repair the ship.
If you post an interlude you will earn 1 bennie.
If you create an extra with backstory and a story of your interaction with them you will earn a Golden Bennie.
