I'm in the save up and buy when you can camp. The Rusalka is a good girl and doing fine for now.

As for names for the eventual pickup of the Pallas (unless we get something better), I'm going to have to go with calling her the Glaucus.

[Sirus]

We should have an update tomorrow, barring computer or power failure. Today I was far too excited about the upcoming solar eclipse

Part 23: Clemency

Welcome back! Last time, we received orders to contact a pirate named Celina, in order to get her assistance in taking on other pirates! Let us continue...

Spoiler: Complications (click to show/hide)

We start our assignment by heading towards Zante, one of the planets that we went mining on before. Once we get about half-way there...

: Yuri, there's a large ship ahead. It seems to be engaged in combat.

: A large ship? Could it be Celina?

: I'll bring it up on the monitor.



: Yup, there's no doubt about it. That's Celina's Lykourgos.

: Who is she attacking? That doesn't look like a Kreios pirate ship to me.

: Who knows? The ship looks like a pretty good one, made in the LMC, but I bet it won't be able to hold out much longer.

This next bit would take too many screenshots to properly convey, so have some video.

: What did I tell ya?

: What kind of attack was that? I've never seen anything like it.

: That was a laser accelerator, the best weapon in Lykourgos's arsenal. It uses anti-gravity lenses to accelerate the lasers, and then gravity lenses to focus them into one beam and let it rip. There aren't a lot of ships that can hold up against it.

: All right. Let's get in between them. We have to talk to Celina. Kira, patch me through.

: Roger.



Celina's ship continues to pummel the mystery guest. Yuri stops it by getting right in between them like a boss.

: Celina Sioufas, do you read me? My name is Yuri. I want to talk to you. Come in, Celina. This is Yuri.



Celina's ship turns about and takes off!

: Hey!

: She completely ignored us!

: Yuri, I'm getting a communication. It's from the other ship.

: Huh?

??: Hey! Do you read me?! What's the matter with you?! I almost had her, you bastard! What're ya trying to do to me here?!

: What.

: Are ya outta your mind? You were just about to get blasted to bits!

??: You don't know what you're talking about! Just forget it! I don't have time to waste on peons like you. Just don't get in my way next time! You got that?!



And with that, the ship takes off after Celina, despite getting a hole blasted through it earlier.

: He didn't let us get a word in edgewise.

: That cocky son of a--! Celina was just about to beat him down!

: Be that as it may, his ship is still LMC-made. That means he could easily outdo us.

: Aw, Grus!

Well...that didn't go as planned.

Spoiler: A new plan (click to show/hide)

The crew head back to Dodecanese to rest. While there, Yuri chats with his friends to see if they have any ideas. Or at least, they try to...

Bar Patron: What?! You guys! I'm gonna get you for what you did to my friend before!

*As soon as the party enters the tavern, one of the customers jumps to his feet in a rage. It's apparently one of the gang that was beating up the trader before*

Long story short, he wants to fight. Yuri kicks him to the curb and he leaves. Anyway...

: Well, I hate to owe Celina anything more than a drink, but she's not a bad gal to have in our corner.

: I know she's really good, what with bein' a ranked pirate and all, but when ya get right down to it, she's just a woman. Ya think she can really pull this off?

Geez Torlo, sexist much?

: You really are as dumb as you look! Don't ya know that when she gets really angry, a woman is twice as dangerous as a man? You wanna test my theory out?

: Um, no thanks. I can take your word for it.

: I've never actually come into contact with a famous pirate like Celina. I've only ever seen her name in the rankings.

: Aw, you don't have to get all nervous over Celina! I mean, it's not like she just goes around shooting down ships for no reason, or anything. And you trust Yuri, don't you? You wouldn't be here if you didn't. So don't sweat it!

: Okay...

: But what if her feathers get ruffled and it turns into an all-out battle? What then?

: No problem. All I've got to do is threaten to tell all her embarrassing secrets to the universe! Heh heh heh.

"What's all this ranked business", you may be asking? Celina - you know, the girl we're trying to track down? - is the 23rd top-ranked zero-G dog. In the known universe. Yep.

Spoiler: Meeting the Pirate Queen (click to show/hide)

And so, after a quick break, the crew set off to find Celina once again!

: Yuri, there it is!

: Celina's Lykourgos?

Fun fact: Lykourgos seems to be a Greek word. A quick Google search brings up references to a king of Sparta from around 219 BC. And now, back to the plot.

: Yes, that's it, without question.

: All right. I'm going to talk to her this time. Kira, open up a line!

: Roger!

: Celina Sioufas. This is Yuri. Captain of the RUSALKA. I want to talk to you. Please respond!

??: ...

: She really is ignoring us.

: ...

: This isn't getting us anywhere. Here, lemme do this, kiddo.

: Huh? Yeah, okay, sure.

: Hey! I know you can hear us, Celina! Get on the horn right now, or I start blabbin' all your secrets, woman!

??: ...That voice...That vulgar manner of speaking...Nia Lochlain, could that be you?

: Of course it's me! Come on now, Celina. I gotta talk to you face to face.

Celina: ...All right, fine. I'll go to your ship.

: The communication was broken off.

: If she says she'll come to our ship, she'll come to our ship. Pull up next to the Lykourgos, kiddo.

: Okay, but how do you know Celina, Nia?

: Well, ya know how it is. Long story.

*fadeout*

: ...



: ...

: (So this is Celina, huh?)

: Never thought I'd see you on this kind of crew, on this kind of ship. You're always full of surprises, Nia.

: Well, you know how it is. Long story. I'm kinda helping this kid out.

: Hello. I'm Yuri, the captain of this ship.

: Well, well! So this is your plaything of the hour, is it? Your tastes have changed, my dear.

: What?!

: What are you talking about? It's nothing like that!

: ...

: Heh heh. Fine. Whatever. So, you said you want to talk to me? Then talk!

*fadeout*

: So that's it, is it? Veroia must be really hard up. But did they actually think I'd agree to a deal like that?

: Well...

: ...But guess what? I'm going to do it.

: You will?!

: Are you serious, Captain?!

: It's a good opportunity to get onto Skantzoura, don't you think, Nikitas?

: Oh, very good thinking.

: Wait a minute, you crafty little witch. Just what are you up to?

: Heh heh. Just a little bit of fun. Anyway, take me to the Security Agency. I'm prepared to be arrested.

: What?!

: They arrest me, and send me to the prison planet Skantzoura. That's the deal I want.

: But...

: What could she be thinkin'?

: Who knows? But those are her terms if we want her to help wipe out the Kreios Pirates. I say we take her to the Security Agency fast, before she changes her mind!

: Okay. I guess you're right.

: It's settled, then. Nikitas, take care of the Lykourgos for me.

: Yes, Captain!

Spoiler: Things go down (click to show/hide)

So apparently, Celina is perfectly willing to go to jail. Odd. Well, back to Veroia we go.



And here is something interesting. On very rare occasions, you may encounter a fleet including an Adonis transport. Last time we saw one of those was back in Ropesk, when we looted Panfilov's stuff. Just like back then, destroying an Adonis earns a lot of credits.

Anyway, we arrive at the Security office.

: What a surprise! I didn't think you'd actually manage to bring Celina herself right here to Veroia!

: Couldn't quite convince her to come into the Security Agency yet, though, so she's hidin' out on the ship.

: But what do you suppose she wants onto Skantzoura for?

: Who knows? We asked her a million times, but she wouldn't cough up her reasons. But I'm thinkin' maybe--

: It has something to do with old Kreios, who was thrown in there a a year ago, right?

: Exactly. Anyway, knowing her, she's gonna have a trick or two up her sleeve.

: Hm...

: Commander, we have no idea what Celina is plotting. Don't you think we should rethink this whole thing?

: Don't worry. I'll go with her, make sure she doesn't try anything funny. Hey, I know! I could be her underling! Even though the idea of it kinda ticks me off...

: Nia, you want to go into the prison with Celina?!

: Yup. I'm gonna make her keep her end of the bargain.

: But...You can't do that! It's a prison planet! Anything could happen to you there!

: Yuri's right. And Skantzoura isn't your average prison planet either. Even though it's part of the judiciary system, it's completely cut off from the outside world. We get very little information about what actually goes on inside.

: But if I don't see to it that Celina keeps her promise, you aren't gonna be able to take down old Kreios, right? And then that means we won't be able to get to Mytilene and find out more about those Epitaphs.

: But...

: Look, you're not gonna get anywhere if ya let little things like this set you back, are ya? Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I know what I'm doing!

: ...

: It was a risky plan to begin with. Now that we've come this far, I don't see any alternative to doing as Celina is suggesting. Ensign Pappas, how long will the paperwork take to get them incarcerated?

: There's no shortage of criminal charges we can bring Celina up on, so we should be able to get the papers together right away.

: All right, then. Pappas, you serve as the escort and take Celina and Nia to Skantzoura. And then I want you to stay there on Skantzoura and give me a report every twenty-four hours on the dot.

: Yes, sir. I'll take these two on my ship, but what will the rest of you do? You can't really come with us all the way to Skantzoura.

: I'm still a little freaked out about all this, so we'll go with you as far as we can.

: Okay, fine. Well, we'll ship out as soon as you're ready then. Nia, you and Celina move to my ship.

: Gotcha.

Nia left your crew temporarily!

Well, looks like things are about to happen! Tune in next time!
Also, please let me know if the video doesn't work. Youtube is acting funky for me right now, I may need to re-upload it.

[Jarod Cain]

Video works fine for me, love how this game just keeps things rolling along.
-J-

[Sheb]

Yeah, waiting impatiently for the next update.

[Sirus]

Why so impatient? D:

[Zako]

It's a compliment dude. It says that we can't wait to see the next update because we enjoy it so much and want MOAR. I want MOAR too. 

[MarcAFK]

How about the Archimedes for the BB? It's got that long range death beam afterall, also greek names seem to be popular for capital ships around here.

[Sirus]

Hello again! No update juuuuuust yet. Problem is this next bit has even more plot and even less combat, and I'm not sure how much longer things will go without some stuff blowing up.

See, I'm remembering all this awesome stuff from the cartridge, and it hasn't shown up yet (pretty sure it will, soon!). However, we do meet what is probably the creepiest sunnuvabitch this side of Andromeda. The type of creepy that makes me slightly nauseous just to type out

[Zako]

I'm cool with the lack of action. The creepy dude sounds interesting and more plot is cool too.

[Sheb]

I'm cool with the lack of action and Archimede as a name.

[Sirus]

Part 24: Prison Witches

Welcome back! Last time, the Pirate Queen Celina requested to go to prison in exchange for helping Yuri and co deal with the local pirate group. Nia offered to go along in order to make sure she kept her end of the bargain. Let us continue...

Spoiler: Departure (click to show/hide)

We have a new path to take, through a couple of empty sectors leading to Skantzoura, the prison planet.





We are greeted by this thing

: What's this?

: It's the Oort Interception System. It's a defense system that seals off the prison planet from the rest of the worlds.

: So this is the system your boyfriend designed, Rhea?

: That's right. It's a perpetually operating combination of observation and auto-attack systems. If anybody tries to get through without permission, they'll be annihilated in only seconds.

: Very impressive. They aren't taking any chances, are they?

: Anyway, this is as far you can go. I'll take it from here.

: Ensign Pappas, please take care of Nia.

: Oh, I wouldn't let anything happen to such a lovely young lady. And besides, I get the distinct impression that she can take care of herself just fine.

And with that, Pappas' ship sails away into the Oort System.

: There they go.

: I don't know. I still don't like this.

: Well, it's done now. There's no sense in second guessing now. And Ensign Pappas is going to give us periodic reports, too.

: Yeah...

Spoiler: Welcome to Oz (click to show/hide)

: Ha ha ha ha! Welcome to Skantzoura! I'm the prison warden here, Glaucus.

: I'm Ensign Belen Pappas of the Sector Security Agency, Anti-Pirate Division. I'm here to escort these two prisoners.

: Welcome, welcome! And look what we have here! Two lovely young ladies...

: ...(Hey, my face is up here, buddy!)

: ...

: Mmm-mmm. Such beauties...and TWO of them! Mm, female prisoners...

I shudder just transcribing this dude's dialog.

: Uh, Warden?

: Don't you just love those words, "female prisoners"? Such a nice ring...



: Huh?

: Oh, ahem! Never mind. So I hear you'll be staying a week or so yourself, will you?

: That's right. We have to take every precaution we can with an infamous pirate like this one.

: Yes, yes. Absolutely. I understand completely. I'll have a room readied for you right away. I do hope you enjoy your stay...

Spoiler: In the Slammer (click to show/hide)

Well, since we didn't get any specific things to do, I go for a brief pirate-slaying session. Meanwhile, back on Skantzoura...



: It's been three days already. How long are we gonna keep hangin' around like this?

: What, are you bored, my dear?

: Nah. I just figure we oughta have enough of a handle on their routine by now.

: Heh heh. I see your point. What do you say we take a little walk, then?

: Where to?

: The control building. If old Kreios is here, that's where I think he'd be.

*With this, Celina pulls out a hair from her head, spits on it, and inserts it into the lock panel. A few seconds later...*

*BANG!*



: Voila. It's open.

: Not too shabby! A nitro string, huh? I see you're still up to your old tricks.

*Fadeout. When the scene returns, we're back on the RUSALKA*

: Still no word from Ensign Pappas?

: It looks that way. The Security Agency still hasn't tried to contact us. I've been trying to get in touch with them for days now.

: Grus! It's been three whole days already! Something's got to be wrong! Ensign Pappas was supposed to make a report every twenty-four hours!

: Yuri...

: Yelling at Kira isn't going to help anything. I know you're worried about Nia, but please try to calm down and stop with all the yelling.

: I am calm! And I'm not yelling!

: You are so yelling! You're the captain, so you'd better start acting like one, you hear?

: ...

: Oh boy.

Spoiler: Bad news. Time for action! (click to show/hide)

Another interlude in which nothing noteworthy happens goes by. Sorry, this should be the last one.

: Yuri, I'm getting a communication from Commander Ioannov.

: Really?! Patch me through to him right away!

: Captain Yuri, this is Silas Ioannov of the Sector Security Agency.

: Commander Ioannov! Have you heard from Ensign Pappas?! Is Nia all right?!

: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm afraid Pappas hasn't reported in once.

: Not even once?! How can this be?! But you told him every twenty-four hours!

: I know. We're applying for a permit to investigate from the Justice Bureau now.

: How long is that going to take?!

: I don't know, but we're trying to get them to hurry. Anyway, I wanted to let you know the situation as it stands. I'll give you another update as soon as I can.

: Hey! Wait a minute!

*click*

: Huh.

: He's gone.

: Whaddya think happened to them?

: I don't know, but it's starting to look like we'd better come up with our own plan.

: Do you have any ideas?

: Yes, I do. Let's talk in the tavern.

Dunno why so many people like to chat in taverns. Anyway, we go down the elevator to speak with Ian.

: There are too many things going on with Skantzoura that just don't add up, wouldn't you agree?

: Like what?

: Well, first of all, the fact that, even though their leader, Kreios himself, is presently incarcerated, the Kreios Pirates continue to flourish. And then Celina volunteers herself to be thrown in there. There's something very strange going on, if you ask me.

: True, but without more solid proof...

: I know. But even the Security Agency knows that something is fishy. That's why they went along with Celina's suggestion without questioning it. What we need is some kind of solid evidence that something strange is going on.

: You sound like you have a plan.

: I do, and it's simple. All we have to do is ask a Kreios Pirate.

: Huh? And how are we supposed to do that?

: We grab one of them and make him talk, of course. All we have to do is get into a melee battle, and once we're on board the enemy ship, we capture someone.

: Wow, that's a great plan, Ian! Looks like those glasses of yours aren't just for show!

: What do my glasses have to do with anything?

Spoiler: Action! Finally! (click to show/hide)

Following Ian's suggestion, we set out looking for a pirate to nab.



What Ian doesn't tell you is that the vast majority of pirates are dirty cowards, and will flee from a melee battle at first opportunity. We'll need to find some sort of commander to capture.



Yeah, these ones might work
The trick to this battle is that the Eudora K must survive until you can melee. That shouldn't be a problem, as it's in the back and would be the last target anyway. You can initiate the melee attack at any time, and these ones won't flee, but I'd advise blowing up a few other ships first. Why?



...Yeah. Yuri and HELP might have better skill, but it's not by much. Shooting down the Themis destroyers at the very least help tilt the odds in your favor, and if you destroy the two cruisers as well the odds are better still.



For once, this battle can actually be tricky. The ESTHER took a Barrage to the face and barely survived when I was a split-second too late with a Dodge. Going into melee now would be a bad idea - that's nearly 400 crew unable to fight.



Took some sweet revenge however by gunning down both Themis destroyers. The odds are a little more even now, but I'll take down one of the cruisers before closing in for a melee.



Dodged this one



The enemy wasted a perfectly good opportunity here by Normal-attacking the PANSY, rather than finish off the ESTHER. Dunno why, but I'm not gonna complain :-/

The first of the cruisers explode, and I begin closing in to engage. Suddenly...



Frak! The ESTHER went down! The PANSY took a nasty blow as well!
This has to end now, or the RUSALKA will be all alone in the sky. Board the enemy!



Still outnumbered, but not as badly. Let's do this.



I open with a Slash attack, which gets lucky and shows immediate results.



The tables have turned! Damnation!



Yuri fires off his Commander ability, a stronger version of the Leader attack. Things are looking up for now!



Both sides begin Shooting each other. When neither side has the tactics advantage, it comes down to numbers and leader skill, both of which we have in spades.



Yes!



Good work, team. It was a tough battle, but we prevailed in the end.

Spoiler: The Truth Revealed (click to show/hide)

: Did we do it?! Did we capture a pirate?!

: Yup. And this one is apparently one of the bigwigs! C'mon, you!

: Hmph. I must be losin' my style. I can't believe I let a bunch of little brats like you get a hold of me! I'm warning you right now, nobody's gonna get ol' Terzi here to talk!

The background music falls silent.

: ...



: Huh? Ha ha ha! What's that supposed to be, some kind of threat?

: I promise you. It's not a threat. The life of somebody I care about is on the line. And that's why you're going to tell me, right here and now, everything you know about Skantzoura. Do you understand?

: Don't make me laugh! Do you really think a child's threat is--*SLICE* Aagh! Aaghhhhh!!

: ...

: Aagh! No! What, are you crazy?!

: I already told you. The life of someone I care about it on the line. Now...For your other arm!

*SLICE*

: Aagh! You're nuts! Somebody lock this kid up!

: I'm going to keep cutting you until you start talking. I just hope you have the chance to tell me what I want to know before you bleed to death.

: W-Wait! Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk! Just stop already!

*fadeout*

: So you're saying that orders to the Kreios Pirates are coming from inside Skantzoura?

: Th-That's right...As far as Captain Kreios is concerned Skantzoura is like a safe little vacation getaway for him. And we get plenty of money flowing in too, from all the people we nab and send over there. That's why we always have enough G to do whatever we want.

: Human trafficking is your source of capital?

: What happens to the people who get sent there?

: Grus, I don't know the details, kid! But, they say that when there's a bunch of them stored up, they get sent to some other dominion, or something like that.

: So are you tellin' us Skantzoura is Kreios's stinkin' base of operations?!

: Grus. We've gotta get Nia and the others out of there, fast!

: I agree. Let's take Terzi to the Security Agency. With him as our proof, they'll have to move on this immediately.

That's it for today. Tune in next time for more exciting adventures and the moment some of you have been eagerly waiting for!

[Jarod Cain]

I must have put this guy completely out of my memory. To be fair though, I'd probably commit all kinds of sexual offenses where both Nia and Celina are concerned, hell most of the girls in this game are rocking it both in the looks and personality.

Dunno why so many people like to chat in taverns. Anyway, we go down the elevator to speak with Ian.

I always liked to think it had to do with things like the interrogation later on, the crew probably felt it was safer to get Yuri liquored up before hitting him with the super serious buisness as he seems to be a silly drunk.
-J-

[Sirus]

But Yuri said he was underage when the team was getting the mission from Pappas. He doesn't drink...though perhaps he should, if he's that stressed.

And I refuse to comment on the "sexual offenses" bit

[Sirus]

Part 25: Home-1, this is Gold Leader

Welcome back! Last time, we learned of all sorts of shenanigans at the prison planet Skantzoura. Now we are going to drop off a high-ranked pirate we captured. Let us continue...

Spoiler: Mobilizing the Fleet (click to show/hide)

After getting the PANSY and ESTHER repaired and the crew recovered, Yuri heads to the Security Agency on Veroia to share what he learned.

: Hm. So old Kreios has been holding the entire planet of Skantzoura in the palm of his hand, has he?

: We heard it straight from Terzi, that Kreios boss we handed over to you, so I don't think there's any doubt about it.

: Commander, we have got to storm Skantzoura right away. Not only for Pappas and the women's sake, but Prisoner X might have been sent there as well.

: I guess this is no time to be waiting on a permit from the Justice Bureau. We'll just have to take matters into our own hands. Assemble Division 3, Division 9, and the Strike Team. We ship out as soon as they're ready!

: Yes, sir!

: Yuri, let me tell you how to deal with enemy fighters. There are armored carriers stationed at Skantzoura, so you'll definitely need to know how to deal with fighters. If you want, you could have this module built, so you'll have the ability to carry fighters yourself. Or you can get anti-air weapons equipped at a remodeling shop, so you'll be able to use the Anti-Air command from any ship. Pursue one of these tactics, or both. It's up to you to decide.

You can now use the Fighters command! You can now use the Anti-Air command! You got blueprints for a Hanger 1 module! You got blueprints for a Maintenance Room 1 module!

: There's a fighter design company on the planet Thira. You can get fighter blueprints there if you need them.As soon as you're ready, report back here to me.

HELL YEAH.

Spoiler: Lots of Choices! (click to show/hide)

Why yes, we do go to Thira right away. You really shouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, Thira has three choices as far as fighters go. This will also be a perfect time to explain fighter and anti-air mechanics to you!

• The Grif Interceptor is the first choice. Interceptors are best used in an anti-fighter role, and do not deal much damage to enemy ships. They also tend to be expensive.
• Next is the Berkut Striker. Strikers are the opposite of Interceptors, dealing lots of anti-ship damage but are vulnerable in a dogfight.
• Finally, we have the Krechet Multirole. Multirole fighters, as you might be able to guess, cover a middle ground between Strikers and Interceptors, excelling at neither job...at least, in theory. The Krechet here actually has pretty terrible stats, but later multirole craft are actually viable. This is the cheapest fighter we have available at the moment, however.

Now, for a mechanics lecture! Joy!

Fighters can be launched as long as the Command Gauge is Yellow or higher. All fighters are launched at once. After they take off, they will fly directly towards the enemy fleet. What happens from there depends on what they run into:
If fighters from opposing fleets come into contact, they will begin dogfighting. The stronger wing will begin pushing the weaker one back as they both take casualties. While dogfighting, they cannot attack ships. If one wing breaks off for refit or is wiped out, the winners will resume heading towards the opposing side.

When fighters come into contact with an enemy fleet, the fleet becomes completely immobile. The fighters will deal continuous damage over time, and they don't prevent you from shooting the enemy with your normal weapons.

Now, fighters cannot fly forever. After a certain amount of time, fighters automatically return to their motherships for maintenance. Once they return, they cannot be launched again for some time, no matter how full your Command Gauge is. However, destroyed fighters are slowly replaced while docked.

So how do you defend against fighters? You have two options. The first is to use fighters of your own, and the second is to use anti-air. You typically only need one ship with anti-air weapons in your fleet, since each anti-air gun takes up a slot that could be used for anti-ship weaponry instead. However, anti-air can be devastating to fightercraft, and while it doesn't prevent immobility, it can drastically reduce the amount of time spent immobile. Anti-air is activated in battle when the Command Gauge is at yellow or higher, and unlike normal attacking you maintain full control of your fleet and can move freely while it is active.

Bored yet? Yes? Bummer! Now I must give you information for an important decision.



Here is the ESTHER. As you can see, I left some space near the catapult for Hangers, anticipating that we'd have fighters before long. However, there is a slight problem. Hanger modules are 2x2 squares. With this current configuration, we could fit two - each with 4 fighter slots. The Maintenance Room module is the same size, and provides a fairly hefty bonus to repair rates on whatever ship it is installed on. And so, here are our options:
- Do not get any fighters.
- Get one Hanger and one Maintenance Room.
- Get two Hangers, keep current configuration.
- Trade out some existing modules for more Hangers, no Maintenance Room.
- Trade out some existing modules for more Hangers, include Maintenance Room.

- If we do get fighters, which should we get? Each carrier-capable ship can only carry one kind.

No matter which you choose, you should also decide if we should switch out one of the ESTHER's guns for an anti-air weapon or not.

Since I just dropped one hell of a choice on you guys, I'll wait a bit before updating again

Tune in next time for an all-out war against the nefarious pirates!
