More flashbacks. Hello, past Rose.

I’m trying something out here. Aside from spending time letting the crew run around the ship, I had some history I had to drop. It’s safe to assume that everyone on the Rose knows who Eaton Fyfe is, and what he did. The footnote at the end of the section was an attempt to drop that history without having someone just spout it out. I kind of liked it, actually.

So here’s the situation: Logan has a business opportunity. Cait is skeptical. She knows better than to believe in what seems like a get-rich-quick scheme, but the name drop of Eaton Fyfe changes everything. What the footnotes hopefully communicated was that Fyfe was a businessman in Lat, made some (alleged) pirate connections, and some (confirmed) pirate connections, and got busted for it. He then disappeared.

Cait hears the part about the pirate connections. Logan hears the part about the magical thing that can make her life better. Cait hears trying to cheat to get into an early retirement. Logan hears glory, riches, adventure. Most importantly, Cait hears the pirate connections.

A lot.

Cait wants to run a respectable boat. Eaton Fyfe has no room on the Rose.

More on this later.
