It took Sarah a long moment to place what it was that Laura had said. Laura was quoting someone clearly and the quotation was quite apt. Sarah smiled as she realized that Laura was referring to Sarah's recent experience swinging from the gibbet.

"Damn girl," Sarah replied, laughing, "You are much smarter than what the gossip in the mansion says you are. Still, I wouldn't worry about them. You can imagine what they say about me!"

Sarah reached for her hip, to wear her spyglass would normally be and cursed quietly under her breath. If she were wearing her pirating costume it would have been there, inserted by the Danger Room's program. She placed a hand to her bosom, feeling nothing but the leather bustier and bare flesh that was her harem style costume for Assallya Kressair. Not being in her pirate costume also meant that her four pistols weren't there either. All she had was the holographic jambiya dagger from before. Her pirate costume was probably down in the captain's cabin.

"I vastly prefer having my own real costume," Sarah added, "It's probably down below in my cabin. You should have a pistol on you somewhere too. At least you're supposed to start with one. Your claws won't work on your opponents here. What we need now is someone we can loot so you can take all their stuff."

Shading her eyes, leaning over the railing and peering towards the horizon with one bare foot cocked up behind her she looked for a ship to engage cannonade and board.

"All right quarter master," she said to Laura behind her, "holler the following. 'Loose tops, royals, mains and then say something to encourage the holographic sailors below. Then you'll see the pirates go to the base of the masts and loosen the ropes which unfurls the sails."
