'I see and agree with everything that you be'a'sayin, mr Lang, but hear me out. Those orcs there aren't escapees, as you have said, but kidnapped members of a free-tribe from the islands. They wasn't indentured, or debters, er any o'the rest of acceptable ways that folks acquire other folks as propeerty...' Nico spite out a porthole to show his disgust at this'They was kidnapped when they wuz just pups, fer the most part. They has families and Kin on the Islands. Hell, some o'em might be Malachi's Folk. Now I know that this don't sit well wit Law as you unnerstand it, an' I understand yer point of view. However, these Folk had Laws o'there own thet wuz violated when the Slavers kidnapped em. I fer one won't sit an'let Good Folk, of any Creed, rot away in an undeserved Prison, when their only crime wuz ta be livin' on the wrong island when the cowardly Slavers came-a-callin.'alming, Nico says (after a blown out breath) Now I know thet what wuz done this night wuz wrong in the laws of Standishtown, but by Calypso's Foamy Bosom, Damn Their Laws! If'n ye ever worked a Ship with an Orc, ya nows that there ain't any who kin haul an anchor, or a big marlin, fer thet matter affer he's been harpooned, or bail water as strongly as a an Orc.I'll go without pay if'n thet's the problem, as will Malachi, I'm sure, to make sure that the larder an the Paybox isn't overtaxed to make room fer these Orcs.Now, things is a bit late fer changin naow, an the Standishtowners'll be up'n arms quick, so I suggest we get's the Hell outta this clamdigger's hole and set sail fer ports new and less like the bilge of a rat-infested derelict, fer thet's what i think of when I think Standishtown. I am ready fer whatever punishments come my way, an I will take them like an officer and a Gentlman, with nothin but respect fer you Mr. lang and fer the Captain, fer I know you do need to keep Law and all.'Nicodemus stands awaiting his punishment, cap in hands Arti sheepishly doffing his cap in a like manner while crouching on the back of a chair.</blockquote>
