Blackout
West Point
Rider pins Sia to the floor by her shoulders and stares down at her. 
"What do you want from me? Why are you here?" Rider grits her teeth. "I've not seen or heard from the Father since his offer. No one has. So I can't help you overthrow him. Even if I wanted to." Rider seems almost hurt.

South Point
Pirate Vessel
The speech challenged pirate scoffs.
"Ya tink dat lil baggo gol iz uhnuf t'dizway'd uhz fr'm imertaldy." The pirate smirks revealing his rotted teeth. "Cud dis bidge down!"
There is a long pause as all the pirates reload their pistols. They stand there for a long moment. Sea Wolf produces a crude blunderbuss. He eyes Lexianna. Then whirls around and blasts the pirate with the bad speech. As the pirate slumps to the ground Sea Wolf takes the decorative Captain's Pistol.
"I am Captain of the Storm Eye. Any objections?" Sea Wolf shouts in thick Scottish accent. The pirates look at him then stow their weapons. Sea Wolf approaches Lexianna. "Sorry about Rotmouth. He was a cunt. But we can't just give you the Orb. Admiral Ghat will have our heads. Plus we all like the idea of immortality."
