OK I am going to have Griffin respond to the captain. That won't progress the story, not sure there is a way to do that at the moment. But I have a couple of questions. 

[@FalkiThomas] Why isn't the captain reacting to the gunshot?
[@King Tai] when you say scope what do you mean? They didn't have anything besides a telescope back then.

They did have telescopes back then but I think it was late 1500s to early 1600s when the first ones were used. it was around the time pistols and firearms were starting to be used. It was of course the smaller handheld ones.
