Name: Trevor Macheath<br/>Role: Second in Command<br/>Location: Commander's room<br/>Tagged: Ophelia<br/><br/>He had expected a new list of threaths coming from her, she was making her point but in a civilized manner, that he could respect. She was in a very hard situation, when he had first got angry with her, she was in a marginally better position and she was trying to argue with the Captain, something foolish but understandable. Besides when she claimed it was her duty as Skipper to take the punishment to spare the other girls, he had to respect her a little.<br/><br/>"I'm glad you apreciate the care I'm providing you, don't think I'm disregarding your words, I hope you trust my judgement in dealing with the Captain. I know things a civilian doesn't and I know him, being able to deal with him is what made me second in command of this vessel. I will give the message to your friends. I have one more favor to bestow in you before I take you to the cage."<br/><br/>He offered her first a glass of water, placing it on her dry lips he helped her drink it. "This will make you deal with things easier" He moved to his table and took out a whisky and poured it in  a glass "This is from my stash" he said as he offered it, should she reject it he would drink it. He knew he could use it.<br/><br/>After that he put the gag back into her mouth, and took her to the cage. He had hoped for the cage to be big to allow the girl to avoid anyone that tried to reach in, but it was small, and allowed arms to pass through easily. As they walk into the mess there was a bunch of noise.<br/><br/>"Everybody quiet!" he yelled and they obeyed shutting up, it was good that his authority worked for that. Still while they kept quiet he wondered how Ophelia felt with so many predatorial eyes on her.<br/><br/>"I'm sure that it spread like powder what happened" as he talked he lead Ophelia into the cage, caressing her shoulder softly before letting her in the cage. "I'll clarify 5 civilians are in our ship, this one is deemed as a prisoner by our Captain, and will remain in this cage at least for today" he looked at her hoping she would listen "Should she show respect after today, she might be released from this punishment this very night."<br/><br/>"Her well being, and that of the other 4 girls I consider my responsability. So should anyone harm them in any way will have to deal with me. I will bring back the duel rules of the old days and you know how good of a shot I am"<br/><br/>"Now get back to eating you have stuff to get back to."<br/><br/>The eyes were of course glued to her still, Macheath however had a problem. He wanted to protect Ophelia and the other girls, should she be working in the engine room, even with her body, he could easily keep the men at bay, but like this exposed she would fire up everyone beyond control. That was the reason he said "hurt" and not "touch". The men needed something, and they were resourceful that is why the cage was like that. He could try to stop them, but his leadership skills would only go so much, and once his convincing powers ran out, they would most likely not only have a mutiny but all the girls would be in harms way.<br/><br/>As long as Macheath ate, nobody dared to aproach Ophelia, even if they all... even him, stared at her body. When he was done he secured the key to the cage, that cage would protect her. He went to the highest ranking man he could trust that was left. "I mean the part about hurt... do your best to keep them in line. Call me if things get out of hands."<br/><br/>After that the Commander left without adressing Ophelia. He would look after her, but when she said she as Skipper would take on responsabilities the others didn't have to. She didn't know how right she was.<br/><br/>The man Macheath adressed moved up to her first, everyone else was afraid to make the first move, and was waiting for someone else.<br/><br/>"We are not going to hurt you." he told her "but we haven't felt a woman in too long, and you are a very fine one" he reached into the cage and started to feel her leg, more and more of the men gathered around the cage for their chance to reach in and touch the redhead, and of course they didn't wait in a neat line, all that could reached into the cage at the same time.<br/><br/>Some stood up on the tables and eagerly watched the girl's predicament.<br/><br/>Within seconds the towel was on the floor of the cage and the thong was torn, and over 5 hands were moving along her body exploring it. Caressing roughly, wanting to own her.
