"Departure"

"MARYLONE" .. The cptn. Says smiling as he strokes along her railing on the Main observation deck.. We been trough a lot, we have history he says in an heroiric voice, "she saved me and I her, she almost left me, almost killed me, took al my money investing in her and almost cost me my marriage.. But we made It! trough storms, pirate raids, being a drift without engines, but the tides and odds where I our favor, we sailed the seven seas, we've seen ice, we've seen sun sets, sun downs, the stars in the heavens, accompanied but the moon "if he was there" at our side. We delivered the most diverce cargoes, from baby diapers to royal supplies for kings and queen's for babys and your regular Joes, we delivered probably illegal stuff and the most valuable stuff I cannot disclose but believe me I seen the values and insurance costs, we lost containers but never that important "that I up until now know of" otherwise we wouldn't still be sailing, as he made a cutthroat sign across his neck. I take cargos for anyone who's who willing to pay the fees I uphold, but sign disclore that I'm not accountable for the goods the let me deliver, cause I don't wanna know actually, as he whispers to a crew member, drugs and weapons they have to guess themselves, as he gives him a wink. And the crewmate says Yes sure, I'll be informing engine room that where fully loaded ready to depart. While the captain is finishing his little motivation story against the crew on deck who have heated this story so many times that one crew mate is actually silently is telling his story and acting like the cptn while others are amused by his performance and giggling in the background. "Amused!" *the captain yells to the crewmembers who where having there own little stage play. The last time anyone was amused diring my departing speeches someone got sea sick and vomited over the side of MARYLONE, and that wasn't even part of the ceremony! He somewhat agitated points out. Care to chair crewmate Wilkins?? No sir Wilkins says, will other still giggling.. Well seems to me there was more fun there in the back with you boys then here in front, while he kicks some crewmate against his feet who was fallen asleep, He Nick! He says, while Nick abrupt act as he was alive and kicking all the time "yes sir!" he says in a paranoid and guilty way, the captain smiles and says I know you of the steady crew here heared this story over and over.. but be just as motivated and amazed like our new crewmembers we welcome, as he takes a block note and his reading glasses from his pocket he mumbles in his self and fliks trough his notes, somewhat unable to read his own handwriting or due to his long out dated and out fashioned glasses.. Finally he shouts out a name from the list while everyones attention is already lost in the minutes he was searching his notes everyone started to chat among each other. Hmmpff dous the cptn to get everyone's attention. But the just keep babbling. The cptn walks to the ships outside bell and gives it a heavy kling. The crew is instant all quiet and focus on the captain. Good he says the we welcome our new crew member.. "in mean time" Christine is now running towards the boarding bridge and heared the cptn ring the bell from the deck, she thinks oh no the gonna depart and she stars running faster. But the boarding bridge is already starting to retract. Shit she thinks! There's only one alternative, the moaring cable! And hoping they not get undone by the crew. But wait a minute she thinks don't they usually before retracting the the boarding bridge.. No time to think, they are still in place that's a gods given. In meanwhile the captain already welcomed a few crewmembers which he stated the names and they one by one introduced themselves to the crew. While suddenly a already on duty crewmember comes to the captain, and while staying watch on the bridge noticed that the boarding bridge was being retracted the moaring lines "sir, there still in place" "the moaring lines" "the boarding bridge is retracted, sir" the captain interrupt his introduction meeting and states he will be back in a sec. Together with the crewmate he walks towards an fire emergency casket hanging on the side of the cabins, "there are plenty trough out the ship" find the nearest to the bow, while he opens the cabinet to get the fireaxe which Is among the gear, he walks towards the the first moaring line near the back of the ship, which is connected to a wench. With one effective blow he cuts the moaring line through, "that's one he says!" We have no time to pull out the boarding bridge again. While he says that he feels that the ship is coming to life, a "MARYLONE, your ready to go!" he says "one last time" , while the engines beneath in the engine room start to ignite and crew members feed her the blackcoal she so abundantly needs to get her going."No strings attached"

As the crewmate named Jeremy makes his way to the front of the ship, the captain returns to the waiting crew  of course to continue his introduction round of the new crewmembers they collectively welcome aboard. Again the captain somewhat clumsy pulls out his notebook and in the process of doing this his reading glasses slip out of the same pocket falling to the ground. "glass shattering sound" makes everybody look while a crewmate sighs "ah the captains ultimate fashionable glasses" big loss some other mumbles while others giggle and know the comments sarcasm. The only one who's not laughing is the captain of course. While he retrieves his shattered glass's from deck he mentions "its not about fashion, it's about functionality" while another crewmate mumbles to another "well the functionality is questionable haha" not optimal at least. Cause captain still had trouble reading and couldn't focus anymore where he previously had no problems with. Eye sight must be deteriorating while I age gazing on the endless see trough looking glass, reflecting sun light, any factor could be benefactor to that. "Uhum" Let's continue people so we can get to the order of the day, we are departing and I have two more additional crewmembers to introduce.. The next one is.. The captain tries to focus on his notes, but he had hard time making up the crewmates name.. He winks to his 3th in command.. And whispers "tell me the name that's written down here. He points with his finger to a name.. Jack Johnson sir, no we already introduced Johnson" the next
