Cautiously creeping through the lower levels of the Marina, Irwin Kendrick had methodically followed the walls in only a way that the alert, and well some would say cowardice, could manage. Yes the bits of ramming did cause him to stumble a bit during his traversing upwards through the decks; however Irwin Kendrick managed to keep balance. After several checks of spotting to confirm that no pirates had invaded onto the ship, Irwin Kendrick made his way up to the top deck. Well first off he was greeting by the sounds of cannonfire, screaming, and the sights of the commander of this vessel hopping off the ship to attack and board the Scrapyard Pirate's own vessel. Certainly it wasn't the approach Irwin Kendrick would take, nor did it appear that was the approach the other commander was taking. It was clear to Irwin Kendrick what his mode of operation should be regarding how to fend off this assault. [i]It was once again time to hide.[/i] Surely these top decks were not going to be the only places attacked; this would provide a decent cover as Irwin Kendrick could find a nice place to wait it out. Irwin Kendrick kept an eye out as he scouted the top deck of the ship once again to see if any of the pirates boarded. However he did not do this for long as he opened his "'FUN BAG'" and plucked out a handful of nasty, spiky things. Kendrick carefully tossed them around the entrance to the lower deck while he made his descent. With that small bit of preparation work made, Irwin closed the bag while keeping a firm grip on his pistol. If these pirates were to come and fight, Kendrick was going to make sure the environment, and of course the fight, was overwhelmingly in his favor. And so the Warrant Officer scoured for the perfect hiding spot where he could force any ambushers into a trap.
