"What do we have going on here, gentlemen?" a voice from behind the crew called out.
They all turned around to see their captain, Jack Sparrow, staring at them with what could be interrupted as a confused look.
"Well Captain, it looks like a small boat wanting us to haul them aboard," Gibbs replied, pointing over the Black Pearl with his head.
"Hmmm...have they shot at us yet?" Jack asked.
"They don't look to be having any guns sir," Gibbs replied.
"Well, have we shot at them yet?" Jack asked.
"Not yet, Captain," Gibbs replied again, "They're waving a brown flag of some sort and we were trying to figure out what a brown flag might mean."
"My guess would be that it means their boat is too small and they would like to join the crew of Captain Jack Sparrow! Only the best crew to sail these waters!" Jack announced to everyone within ear shot.
The crew cheered back their agreement and set about to bring the little boat's party aboard.
Halik's arms were getting tired. She stopped waving her cloak and put it back on, sitting back down in the boat.
"It seemed like an easy enough idea," Ragetti sighed, hanging his head a bit.
"But they haven't shot at us yet, so we still have a chance I think," Patel said hopefully.
Halik wondered what she'd gotten herself into...again. Just then, the sound of cheering came from the Black Pearl. Halik and the others turned to see what all the commotion was about, and they were greeted by a rope being thrown at them.
"Should we take it?" Halik asked to no one in particular.
