He will then send a ship's boat to get a report from Lt. Mangrum. Finally he will speak with Lt. Impariell....when the toad officer get to him, Michael will say "Lt. Impariell you like Captain Mangrum are at a crossroads.....and we need your decesion. As you know we have purchased two hulks which we are going to refit. One is a fast schooner the other a barge. The schooner is yours should you wish it when it is finished in 6 months or so....until then your decsion is this....You can either stay and oversee the refit or you can continue north with us gaining more experience and famialrity with our new found company and recruiting a ships crew from the various ports. These recruits would be posted to your division and would transfer in mass to your ship when you assume command. The drawback is this...while you are training your crew and forming a team you would remain as second officer while i promot Lt. Guiseppe to the postion of first officer allowing him to his crew for this ship.</blockquote>
