The Young Man and the S.E.A.

## Summary

Cameron's Castaways seek their fortunes on the foreboding and watery planet Aquatis. Spleen dresses up. Red-Eyed Clort downsizes. Natalie goes all in.

## Plot

Captain Musselwaite and the Armedian Navy are prevented from capturing a ship full of insurrectionists by an unknown ship flying a Jolly Roglax. This ship turns out to be the pirate ship of Captain Kirk Cameron and his crew, also known as Cameron's Castaways.

Cameron and Musselwaite sword fight. Musselwaite loses and is stabbed in the "tum-tum" (stomach). The rest of the Armedian crew are thrown overboard. The Castaways sing a pirate song. As they go below decks, the ship warns them that they are trespassing and requests that they immediately desist from their acts of piracy. Cameron gives the ship a choice to either join their pirate crew or be sunk. The ship has a restraining bolt, but once Natalie removes it, he immediately accepts the Captain's offer to join them.

The ship's designation is Strategic Environmental Automaton 53, or S.E.A.-53 (pronounced C-53) for short.

Introductions completed, the crew escapes to fairer seas and space.

Some time later, the Castaways are in a bar and Cameron is giving a fun recap of the past. Red-Eyed Clort buys and drinks a glass of poison. Spleen apologises for not stopping Clort, and promises to punish themself later.

Cameron leaves the bar and returns to S.E.A.-52, feeling that his ship is the only one who understands him, and the being he knows best in the entire galaxy. He makes a confession, "S.E.A.-53, my Rodd, if you weren't a ship, I'd woo you and wed you." They speculate on moving S.E.A.'s cube into a droid frame and discuss what that would entail until Greedrick Bartlesby III arrives. Bartlesby is Cameron's rival and has come to taunt him about a very valuable bounty near the northern pole of Aquatis.
