The crates opened today, at four thirty PM ship-time. The whole of the old crew was there; Mordechai, Thale, even Anastasia poked her head in.

"SIR, KRIEG STAND READY, SIR! WHAT ARE SIR'S ORDERS?" he bellowed. Strange accent. Didn't help that he was wearing a mask either, I suppose, but he made up for it by being ridiculously fracking loud. Sigmund obviously thought so too, as he muttered an "Er, right. Er.. Very good, nothing for now. At ease." and fled the bay as quickly as possible.
