@christine40, fully aware of this, smirked.
'What would you like to learn to cook? Bear in mind that you are doing the preparation of the ingredients, so choose wisely.'
David looked aghast, he felt like a noose was tightening round his neck. Gone would be the days of neanderthalic grunting and food appearing on command (if a little delayed at times). 'Well,.. couldn't you just make some ribs and show me how to make them when I'm not so busy restoring order to this ship?'

Suddenly Christine digressed with laughter “Do you remember that Dirk guy that we ditched awhile ago? He hated salad too! So David better pipe down with all of his complaints before we ‘Forget’ him somewhere as well.”

Doctor Sphinx sighed the sigh of a 3000 plus year old Sphinx, as he washed the hand which had taken hold of the leprechaun's shirt - the left hand, naturally, as the right is reserved for more noble deeds - with copious amounts of high-concentration bleach, to cleanse it from all hints of Black Death, St Anthony's Fire, or any other rare disease he was sure @Sam91 would have an encyclopedic knowledge on.
This crew certainly still needed a lot of training. The @GreenWizard for example. How hard is it to close one's mouth when making light conversation on ocean politics with a mermaid?
And @christine40. How difficult is it to make one's Captain some delicious, oven-cooked ribs on request? He glanced at Captain @DavidFirth. Even if the captain in question is getting a little portly.
And Captain DavidFirth. Had he only given the mermaid some sparkly trinkets, a dime or a shilling, even perhaps the upper half of a bathing costume to help shield the leprechaun's eyes from being so magnetised, instead of uttering all that neanderthalic grunting, Ariel would have cooked him up the entire shark...
The shark!!! The Great White Shark which had been bearing down toward the doctor suddenly registered, as the pulleys and levers in his ancient brain system finally groaned and clanked their way into the present - but it had already been taken care of... by @LaSorcia... again!
'I will really have to watch that mysterious aristocrat,' he thought to himself, as she gaily extended an already uplifted pinky in his direction to signal a cheery hello, whilst she sipped her tea and supped her scones - it was scone-break time for LaSorcia again.
'No, if anyone around here was trustworthy, it was good, yarmulke-wearing-fashionable, dependable Sam91. It was Sam who dared to wield the sharpened, orbital exenteration tool - even if it's use was barbaric and Doctor Sphinx had later been compelled to destroy it, it was Sam who continuously guarded the moral standards of the CF crew with her ever-present guillotine of righteousness, her stern face and yarmulke of painful-but-spiritually-beneficial-minor-surgery warnings of what might come if standards dropped, it was Sam91 who was ever experimenting and pushing for the progress of science. Sure, she had her little quirks - her unending experimentation on fellow crew members, her taxidermy, her fondness for collecting toes - but these sort of things were to be expected. She was, afterall, left-handed.
'But what about Dirk1540?' a familiar voice in his mind interrupted the good doctor's own thoughts. 'He was a good crew member.'
'Oh, errr, hi there Sam91. Fancy speaking to you like this... In my thoughts'. The doctor noticed that Sam91 wasn't wearing a yarmulke this time. 'I didn't know you could read thoughts.'
Speaking out loud, for the benefit of the others, the good doctor continued 'Uhhh. Yes. Dirk was an acceptable crew-member, I guess, until his untimely demise. Not eating his salad and all'.
@christine40's maniacal laughter continued, and Doctor Sphinx considered asking Sam91 if there was a scientific way to bottle it, and release it at another time when he wanted to appear both crazy and scary.
The maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, however, when @*LILAC kindly placed a plate full of fresh salad onto the table of DavidFirth, and the Captain began to eat...

Christine looked shocked and wide-eyed at @DavidFirth who was happily crunching salad
she was so exhausted from everything which often causes her to laugh hysterically for no reason
so tired that she just keeled over in place and began snoring
half the crew members decided to go below deck to take a nap then
the boat was so huge, it was more like a yacht with several rooms below deck and a huge kitchen much to several members delight
this left only @Sam91, @Doctor.Sphinx, @DavidFirth, and the snoring one on deck
got a deck of cards @Sam91 asked the Doctor?
huh?
she obviously wanted to put him off guard or was she just being friendly?........

The Doctor wasn't sure what to make of the request. Was this entrapment? Didn't some Christians say card playing was evil?
@Sam91 had donned her yarmulke of precise-and-self-righteous-Pharisaical-observitude, so he wouldn't put it past her to test him, then come up with a sermon-full of scriptures once he had made the mistake - or worse, the dreaded guillotine of righteousness and her troubling yarmulke of painful-but-spiritually-beneficial-minor-surgery.
He gingerly took his card pack - using his left hand only, in case it caused her offense - from one of his many pockets, and placed the deck on the table.
'So far, so good...' he thought, keeping one eye on Sam91, the other on the cards, and using what he believed to be a mysterious sixth sense to monitor @DavidFirth.
Before any of the three realised it, they were all having fun.
'Uno', called Doctor Sphinx triumphantly, prior to placing his final card - a 'Draw Four' reward for Sam91, changing the colour to blue...

Uh-oh.. he realised that @Sam91 was not too happy at that while she was stared, or rather glared, at him. 'Delighting in others misfortune?' She asked in his head. 'There is a way to win with a certain amount of grace and decorum you know... maybe I ought to display that on the next hand.'
Audibly, she advised 'You must pick up a card. You called uno too late. It is written that you call Uno when you place down the penultimate card.'
The good doctor picked up a card with a minimised sigh.
She smiled at Captain David when he changed the colour and called uno, and the fairly handsome Doc picked up. Samantha switched the order of play and the disappointed Sphinx picked up again. @DavidFirth happily but gracefully placed down his last card. 'Thought you had that game won there Twinkle-toes!' He commiserated.
'Are you hungry after that salad @DavidFirth ? Why do you never ask me for food? Do you not trust me?'...
@Doctor.Sphinx watched in horror. Wondering whether the captain was aware of the potential consequences of a stray word. 'I think that you worry too much and misjudge me Sphinxy' said that quiet voice in his mind again...
Sam91 looked at @David quizzically...

'How about a fish curry, extra spicy? These ladies cook tame food. I wonder if you can handle real food?' Said Samantha wishing there was meat other than ribs... Fish curry didn't sound all that appetising but it was better than ruining ribs... she eyed @GreenWizard wondering if there'd be any objections to perhaps reappropriating an arm... She didn't see any 'arm in it.
Appalled, she stopped musing to investigate her yarmulke... It seemed that she wasn't wearing her yarmulke-of-dodgy-puns-and-dire-humour... it must be her own doing. She hoped that @LaSorcia or the good @Doctor.Sphinx weren't currently reading her mind but was fortunate that she wasn't ruminating aloud for the rest to hear.

Doctor Sphinx adjusted his spectacles. Or rather, he would have done, were he wearing any, which he wasn't. So he re-read Samantha's thoughts again, just to be sure. Nope, there it was. She had promised to cook for the brave Captain.
'Where's that fish curry you promised already?' Captain Firth asked fatefully.
The good doctor's heart skipped a beat. Several, actually. Truthfully, it was more than several - he had to consciously instruct his heart to commence beating again, or it might have stopped for good.
'Didn't the Captain know the - unconventionalism - he risked by asking Sam to prepare him a meal?' he thought to himself.
'Don't worry, Sphinxy', the voice in his mind commented soothingly, 'before giving him an impertinent wink.
'Captain Firth knows a good cook when he sees one. His mistake is that he thinks my cooking abilities are limited to food...'
'Don't you Sphinxy me,' the good doctor chided indignantly. 'It's Doctor Sphinx to you, thank you very much, Samantha'.
His heart sank as @Sam91 smilingly placed another 'Draw four' card, and he picked up four more cards.
@DavidFirth changed the colour to yellow - Doctor Sphinx's favourite in the Uno game, as it reminded him of his pyramid in Egypt, before Sam called 'Uno'. In moments, she had won, leaving the good doctor to battle it out with the ever-more-obese Captain for the title of 'loser', as she went to prepare the fish curry.
The doctor looked frustratedly at his cards. There were so many. It was as if Sam91 had taken some sort of secret delight in giving him all the 'draw' cards. However was he going to get away from this game on time to ensure she didn't cook up any trouble, without earning the title of 'Grand loser'?
He looked schemingly in the direction of @GreenWizard...

Christine woke suddenly and noticed @Doctor.Sphinx and @DavidFirth engaged in their UNO game
a bit disappointed to miss out on playing cards, she interrupted them to ask "when are we going onshore to explore Australia?"
"I've always wanted to see a koala bear!"
then in her monotone singing voice she began:
"Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he,
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh
how gay your life must be"
the smell of fish began wafting in the air and @CtC appeared along with lilac to join in the singing of the Kookaburra song.....

@*LILAC cheerfully placed the dish of fish curry in front of Captain @DavidFirth.
'Nooooooooooo.....' cried Doctor Sphinx, as he dived across the table, scattering Uno cards everywhere.
'Doctor Sphinx!', rebuked @Sam91 sharply, 'don't be such a bad sport!'
However, it was not his poor sportsmanship which was the cause of the good doctor's dive - although, coincidentally, the moment did also occur simultaneously to his loss of the Uno game to the Captain - but rather, his genuine concern for the Captain's health.
Doctor Sphinx took hold of the dish, and poured the contents into his mouth, fish, soup and all...

The doctor clutched his throat in delusion and paranoia.
'Acid! There is acid in the dish, Captain!' the doctor whispered, scarcely able to breathe out a warning.
He could feel the acid burning through his throat, his eyes were watering, and his tongue felt as if it were on fire.
He had known that @Sam91 would be cooking up some mischief or other. She had been a worthy opponent, but had finally been able to dispatch him by attacking where he was weakest - his loyalty to the somewhat-obese, but nevertheless brave Captain @DavidFirth. He tried to think up some final words to be remembered by...

'You-you mean...' the doctor stuttered in a whisper, for that was all he could utter, under the circumstances.
'There was no acid, Doctor Sphinx. It's just spicy soup.' Sam91 replied.
'Ahhhhh...' the doctor answered. 'But my throat - the soup is burning through my throat. I think my tongue is on fire. Are you sure it didn't contain any elemental sodium... or anything like that?'

'Nope, it was totally safe. Do you really think I'd hurt the courageous Captain?'
Her look softened. 'I'll get you a soothing, cold glass of milk. Organic and from cows not fed copious amounts of antibiotics.'

Doctor Sphinx didn't know what to think - again. Could it really be that he worried too much, and misjudged the carolina-reaping, fish-souping @Sam91.
'I still think that you worry too much and misjudge me Sphinxy' said that quiet voice in his mind.
He didn't have much choice at the moment. It was either burn to death, from the mouth outward, or accept the fresh, cold glass of milk from Sam91. And besides, @christine40 and @*LILAC were around. He doubted these would be party to any attempt at poisoning. At least not knowingly.
He greedily slurped down the entire glass of milk, then a second, then a third. Sam91 dutifully went back each time he requested more, and with each sip of milk, the burning sensation decreased.
'So this is what it feels like to be Captain', Doctor Sphinx thought to himself, as he sent Sam91 back for a fourth glass.

'Shiver me timbers, thar's land ahead!' shouted the captain.
'What?' said @gennypearl.
'Oh, the mischievous leprechaun has sighted land ahead.' said David.
'Now I'll finally get me some ribs!' bellowed the not-too-fat Captain David.
'You two - he pointed at the bewildered doctor and Sam - get to work on the anchor and the ship's tackle! We're going to be landlubbers again for a while.' hollered the captain, who winked at the rest of the crew. Captain David was trying to get the doctor and Sam to shut up for a while, at least.
