The First Voyage - "In A Pickle"
This story was told on a weekly basis from 13/06/22 to 5/08/22, and concerned a voyage of a naval ship in a fantasy world, quite similar to our own history of the Napoleonic Wars, yet with a more egalitarian view on matters. Yet though any gender or race may and will serve at any rank, one sin is forbidden aboard a warship - the sin of love.
