There's enough here as wants the discipline to make up for those who don't!"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167786.msg7872806#msg7872806">Quote from: Blythe on 12-03-2013, 23:15:49</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"We need a ship Disciplinarian.

The higher up officers didn't like to get their hands dirty, so to speak. One of the many aspects of that life I didn't agree with." The captain looks at his hands, flexes them pensively whilst imagining 'getting them dirty' and then<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: impact;">&lt;CRACK&gt;</span>claps them sharply together, once.<br/><br/>"Ah, Red. Excellent." He takes the offered drink with one hand and with the other gives her a swift slap on the rump in thanks as she turns.<br/><br/>"But yes, although one is obviously perfectly capable of meting out discipline", the captain rubs his fingernails on his waistcoat in pride as he speaks, "it might be useful to have a dedicated officer to whom to delegate the task when I'm not in the mood."<br/><br/>"<strong>However</strong>," speaking up to gain attention, "what we really need at the moment is a plan. Having appeared by chance in central London, we are in a certain amount of danger - attacking the shipping so close to a naval base would be suicide. At the same time, though, it presents unrivalled opportunities, as the potential targets for looting are numerous and well stocked. The mansions of the rich and famous; banks - brimming with cash, but probably too well guarded even here at the centre of civilisation; maybe a softer target like an art gallery, or museum. Mmmm - a haul of objets d'art that we could sell on to private collectors."<br/><br/>"Discuss it amongst yourselves for a while - see if you can come up with a vaguely half-baked plan."
