<strong>Joseph Harden</strong><br/><br/>Harden could not disagree with Macheath, even though he knew that relieve Hawkes of his command would make a bad situation even worse. However they might feel about the Hawk’s behavior, he was still a legend amongst the men, and very few of them would be aware of what he had done, or the insane decisions he had made in regard to the girls. He even doubted that many had seen or cared about the burn marks on Ophelia’s body.<br/><br/>After they ran into the doctor, he was tasked with taking Eloise and Ophelia back to the bunk room. Vinci was still on his post when he arrived there. He opened the entrance to their quarters and guided both girls inside.<strong> “I’m sorry what was done to you, we should have never left you alone with him…” </strong>he said to Ophelia, genuinely afraid to make eye contact with her. He gave Ophelia and Arielle a curt nod before turning his heels and leaving again, leaving Ophelia to the care of the other girls.<br/><br/>He addressed Vinci just as the message from Macheath went over the intercom system.<strong> “Vinci, keep your eyes open, if the shit is to hit the fan, it’ll happen quickly.” </strong>The chance of a full-scale mutiny was highest at this very moment… If they accepted the fact that Hawkes had lost his command, they had a chance to make it back to port without much incident.<br/>
