A bullet rips from the doorway only a second before a cry of alarm; Dagenais, the boatswain, hits the closest member of the boarding party without hesitation. Following him, both in closeness and concern, is Hayden. “Shane,” he greets coolly, a pistol in either hand. “Ten second explanation?”

More of the crew has stumbled from bed and into battle, and he hears the bellows of their gunners from beneath the boards before the first boom of returning cannon fire; despite their initial flinches and yelps at the sight of Ilya, the crew seem to be in agreement against any direct attacks toward the large presence of warning and malice that prowls their deck so freely. They trust, for now, the way they see their captain so comfortable to keep him at his back. “I might need thirty.”

Hayden turns his eyes to the heavens as he does when his children become so disruptive to spur his return to the seas, sighing heavily and murmuring a familiar series of prayers, and he tosses one of the pistols for an easy catch. "We'll talk about this later."
