	You estimate that you are less than half a mile from 
Š	the mainland coast - a comfortable distance for a 
Š	good swimmer, especially for one who possesses the 
Š	strength and stamina of a Kai Grand Master.

	You say farewell to Captain Radyard and he thanks you 
Š	for your selflessness. He orders his crew to hoist 
Š	the sails, and he tells his bo'sun to wave a white 
Š	flag from the stern deck to signal to Sesketera that 
Š	he is complying with his commands. A longboat is 
Š	launched from ιThe Triasusι to collect you. It is 
Š	carrying an officer and six marines, each armed with 
Š	a half-pike and a Bor pistol. Radyard suggests that 
Š	you go to the head of the boarding ladder so that you 
Š	can surrender to the longboat's officer when he comes 
Š	aboard.

	"Who said anything about surrender ?" you retort.
	"But..I thought...", stutters the Captain. "I've no 
Š	intention of surrendering to Sesketera!" you say, and 
Š	before Radyard can utter another word, you vault over 
Š	the gunwale and plunge feet first into the clear blue 
Š	sea.
