A text message from radio room sent by the Shadow Wolf leader is brought up to the Captain.  A large battle scarred alligator reaches up, takes it and reads the message. The message reads:<br/><br/>Everything is going according to plan. Naga has acquired a cargo ship and have taken control of it and have set sail with a crew of otters. Only two, the lizard and the fire fury are released. All the others are still inside hir. The naga has been greatly weakened from birthing the lizard and struggles to get around. Fire fury was just in fire fight at the village was weakened.  Without being close to his host regaining his strength will be much harder.  The lizard has a new naga body. Appears stronger but having trouble getting use to it. Food very limited on the ship. Assessment: Threat level greatly reduced.  Recommend striking now while at their weakest.  End message.<br/><br/>The Captain crumples up the paper and slams his fist on the arm of the chair. “Yes! At last we finally got them right where we want them. Right in the middle of the ocean. No place to run. No place to hide. They will not escape us this time.” The Captain looks over at his staff. “This operation is by the book. No one goes on board that ship until this new tranquilizer with nuro-toxin made from the puffer fish venom has that naga completely immobilized. The doctors say test show those inside hir also should be tranquilized as the venom spreads. But with the naga paralyzed, they will be trapped inside  and the odd of them being able to escape are minimal. It’s important that damn lizard is tranquilized at the soonest opportunity after we have the cargo ship stopped. We do not want him to have the chance to use his healing powers on the naga. If he gives you any trouble, threaten to kill the otters and he will back down.” The first mate chuckles.  “With the naga being so weak, this will be a walk in the park.” The Captain snarls at the First Mate. “You damn fool. It’s that thinking that got so many killed by them. That naga is one of the most dangerous creatures we have taking on board. We are taking NOTHING to chance. There is no margin for error. This time NO Chimera will be soldiers lost. Are we clear?” All in the room call out. “Yes Sir.” The Captain glares at the first mate. “Now YOU get your hind end down to that holding cell and personally make sure everything is ready. I am holding you personally responsible if anything goes wrong. Understand?” The First Mate gulps nervously. “Yes, sir. Understood. And what about the lizard? Do we want him in a separate cell? And the otters and their cargo ship, what about them?” The Captain calmly sits back in his chair. “No. They only want the naga and those inside. Leave the lizard on the cargo ship along with the otters then sink it. No survivors. No mercy for Chimera’s enemies.” The first mate nods. “Yes, sir.” Salutes then quickly leaves the room. "Helm. Plot an intercept course. Full speed ahead." Calls out the Captain. "Aye Captain" Is responded back as the engines roar to life.<br/><br/>On board the ship, Arkain looks at his hands as he rolls his fingers feeling rather impressed with his new strength he has. Looking up he grins when Azlant safely makes his way back to the ship. “I agree. It’s already been done. The ship is getting under way as we speak.” He walks closer to him smiling. “Remember Azlant, you are not alone. You are part of our family. If you ever need help with them or anything else, just ask. We will be there for you. OK?” He looks back as the dock fades from view. “Now that we are underway you should take time to rest. You do look a bit tired. I will be fine keeping a watch on things.” Arkain nods then walks across the crates towards Jaku.<br/><br/>As the boat sets sail Arkain uses this opportunity to quickly digest the two in his belly and reform them. The two reappear quickly reappear on top of the crates. They look about feeling a bit disoriented then seeing the ship has set sail they know their jobs and quickly set off to do them. Arkain walks over to Jaku and puts his hand on hir. “Hir name is Jaku. You are right. Shi is exhausted. Shi just needs time to rest and recover.” Arkain smiles as he hears the Captain order him to come down. He doesn’t like being ordered around but he wants to keep on the Captain’s good side. As he comes down beside the Captain he puts his arm behind him. “We need to talk about Jaku.” Arkain guides him around the other side of a crate not giving him any choice but to follow. When he stops he leans down he whispers quietly to him. “Listen Captain, I understand you are in command of the ship and for the crews sake, to them, you are still in command. Cause if you get stopped there can be no doubt in your mind that Jaku and I have taken over the ship and we have forced you to take us. If Chimera doesn’t believe you, and they will read your mind to be sure, none of you will survive. OK?” Arkain nods then stands up and comes around the corner with the Captain speaking loudly. “Yes, I agree Captain. Moving hir is not a good idea. It is best that Jaku stays where shi is. What happened to Jaku? Well, shi just gave birth and is exhausted. Jaku just needs time to recover. We have been chased almost nonstop for days by the Chimera Project. We have been driven out of our home by them and are trying to find a new one. I have heard about places across the ocean that has thick jungles that one could get lost in. Any place close to that will be great then we will leave. There is not much food on board so we don’t want to spend much time at sea.” Arkain moves next to some of the otters. “Of course I understand this is not a pleasure boat and I am willing to work to earn our keep. Jaku straightening up the warehouse before we left. I would be willing to do something like that if you like, Captain.” As he looks around to see what he can do to help.
