Brax goes over to where the captain and her old shipmates are talking and bows his head "Well met Julak."

Julak nods. "It's been a couple of crazy months, to be sure," he agrees. "We've had a few losses ourselves, like Arieal and Natylie. But in any case, look at you now...your own ship, your own crew. You've come a long way. But...why have you been searching for us to hard if you have your own ship and crew now?" he asks. He also nods to Brax. "Well met."

"Shadowshore," Kalana says simply. Julak was one of the few people that knew about her past, she so knew that just saying that might be enough to get his attention. "Gunn is invading. When we sailed past to get to here, I saw Gunn ships approaching the island. I doubt have Shadowshore has enough to stop another invasion," she explains. Despite the fact that Julak knew her past, she couldn't look him in the eye. She couldn't hide her guilt right now, and despite the fact that she had been relatively calm on the trip here, she was on the verge of panicking.

Brax chiming in briefly "Beggin' yer pardon but we have a skeleton crew an no weapons aboard the ship so it helps in findin' your lot since yah all know Captain Kalana there an ya have a ship with plenty of crew and weapons."

"Shadowshore," Julak says, nodding. "Of course, it makes sense. It was the Blue Lightning who stopped their first invasion. And the Blue Lightning has been effectively destroyed. They probably figure there's nobody left to do anything about it."
To Brax, he says, "That may be so, but we're only one ship. We were barely able to hold our own against three cargo ships--thanks for the assist, by the way. But against a Gunn warfleet? We wouldn't last much longer than you would."

"I knew that just the Blue Moon and the Tiaru wouldn't be enough," Kalana admits. "But I was hoping that you knew of any other Blue Lightning ships that might have survived. Besides, Tethys knows I'm a live, so his attack on Shadowshore isn't just about the Blue Lightning."

"As far as I know, only one other Blue Lightning ship survived the attack, and that was because, like us, she wasn't there," Julak answers. "That would be the Lleiset. Last I heard, it was near the island of Octhanus on some kind of mission."

"Three ships won't be enough, will it?" Kalana asks. "I don't remember how many ships the Blue Lightning had last time it saved Shadowshore."

"As I recall, a dozen," Julak says. "One of our ships for each of theirs."

"So, I'll need nine more ships and I have to heavily upgrade this ship so that it is more battle ready," Kalana says. "By that point, their occupation will be well underway. They will probably be well established. I also have to tell this whole crew what happened, and why Shadowshore is so important."

"Well, two of these cargo ships survived," Julak points out. "They aren't much, but they could be retrofitted for battle. Or you could just sell them off for gold."
=============
(OOC: It's worth mentioning, the Gunn fleet was mere hours away when Kalana saw them. That was a couple of days ago; so the occupation is probably already complete.)

"Who would we get to sail then though?" Kalana asks. "Also, we still have some of those fungi people tied up on the cargo ship. I had remembered that you were researching the fungi people, but I couldn't remember any other details," she points out. "Also, since I was a member of your crew, I kind of feel it is right to tell them too what they might be getting into, if you are agreeing to help me."

"And there is the kitchen!" Senllip adds and nods knowingly, positive that just saying "the kitchen" will have the same impression as saying just "Shadowshore"...

Brax sighs and shakes his head "It's hard being on tha good side some time. If we could raise more like us maybe we'd shand a chance."

"I'm sure Senllip and Mister Brax here, could captain them," Julak answers. "And I can loan you some of my crew to run them, at least until you get to shore and either sell them or hire your own crews. And yes, we've been chasing after the Myconids for awhile now. You'd need to ask Toven for more details, though. It's not really my place to talk about."
