**The Flag**

Figurehead: A large egg with strange tentacles extruding from a crack

## ***BACKSTORY***

The way Eggouus tells it, he had just returned to Puerto Dorado from one of his many pilgrimages for the Great Egg (he never tells a soul where he goes). As he was getting ready for his evening ablutions, a vision came to him, and showed him an island that had never been charted, with a lost ship wrecked on its shores. Imploring Rev to allow him to find this island, the Captain assented, and they put out to sea following his singular directions. This involved a lot of staring at the clouds and tossing crushed eggshell dust into the breeze to decide which direction they would go and when.

They did find the Isle, in spite of Eggouus’ curious navigation techniques, with the bulk of a beached barque right where it had been in his vision. Running his hands along the hull, he eventually came to a curious depiction up near the bow: unusual (to anyone but Eggouus, of course) carvings of eggs and chickens, and something he called the ‘Cheese Gang’, which caused him to glower and snort. But he set to work on the instant. Rev commanded the Jazzbox crew to set about repairing the vessel conventionally, while Eggouus walked around her bulk, uttering incantations and periodically cracking an egg against her hull. Within a few days, she was seaworthy, by Eggouus’ estimation, despite not looking like it at all. But when they went to roll her into the sea, Eggouus whispered a prayer, and the hull shone with white and yellow light, every crack and hole blazing brightly, and when she splashed into the water, the glow subsided - leaving behind a painfully bright white-and-yellow vessel, yet good as new and water-tight.

When Rev ascended to the Council and retired the Jazzbox the next day, his crew was given over to Eggouus and his new vessel, which he christened the Liberated Latebra. They sailed for the Council, and maintained their reputation as the maddest crew, made more so by a deeply religious Captain at the helm of their new eye-wrenching ship.

***UPDATE*:** Some time after Kennedy took the helm, the crew of the Latebra ran a raid on the Vixen’s Fury, which proved disastrous for the ship. They captured her Captain, Victor Storm, and returned with him to their ship, thinking themselves the perpetrators of a grand joke. But Eye and Jack, former Vixens themselves and now Lords, did not find the desecration so funny. They went in pursuit, and during the ensuing melee Eye became enraged, swelling her bulk and wrapping the ship in her tentacles before tearing it in half like kindling. The crew all bailed and swam for shore, but Kennedy remained at her wheel for as long as she could, long after the sea had taken her below.

The two halves of the Latebra were discovered the next evening, washed up on the beach of Isla de Oro, by Raum Laurent and Jane Barnaby. Kennedy was nearby, asleep in the wreckage. They woke her, and went about the painstaking work of repairing her a second time. Egg would not lend a hand this time, saying that the Great Egg did not ordain it so, so they did the best they could without him. As such, it is serviceable for now, but it does not glow as it once did, and the pieces do not seem to fit together as well. And the scar of the break is plainly visible, no matter how they try to bind and paint over it, a reminder of the hubris that comes with madness, and the price paid for it. It was rechristened The Latebra’s Demise at this time, for further admonition.
