James looked at Yuke, who simply nodded. James said "it's settled then. Rafael! take 15 men to the brig. Gibbs! tell the men to change to English merchant colours.". Gibbs looked at him, then said "uhhh.....Cap'n? English merchants don't have a specific colour.". James looked at him as if he had just said something ridiculously stupid, then said "well, what colour do English Merchant ships normally sail with?". Gibbs said "simple. no colour. they just stick with the normal wood, and sail around. when they do paint the ships, it's usually wood brown with red, white or yellow.". James said "those then! wood brown and white, red or yellow paint!". James was getting a bit annoyed. Gibbs was forcing him to expose information in front of the captives. if the dutch managed to get the guards to listen, they would expose that the massive ship known as the Queen of the Sea was originally HMS Dauntless, but repainted, and that could happen without Gibbs' stupid questions. now they could possibly expose the whole fleet. James asked the 2 captains that were with him "why don't we continue this conversation somewhere else?". he waited for Adeline or Yuke to answer...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
