Day 19 Surrender

I've had command of Royal Eagle for less than 24 hours. Since then, the weather has deteriorated to the worst of the voyage. The water tanks are dry and the head is plugged. The ship's brain won't talk to me... and there is no one aboard to execute my shouted orders.

I must release the Captain to restore order aboard. I have underestimated the responsibilities and skills required to maintain life at sea. If left to my own resources, my survival is questionable.

Captain, please forgive my selfish actions. I am prepared to accept the punishment I am due.
