From the Logs of Dr. Abigail Joyce, Wayfarer Trade Company's chief explorer. Day 42 "It took us several days of exploring in the jungle before we found the natives. They appeared peaceful, at first. They greeted us cordially, and through an interpreter, one asked us to attend a ceremony. If it brought us closer to the Gold, we were happy to oblige." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Through the jungle we went, following a past that went past a burbling stream. Further expeditions would be able to identify the many new species of plants and birds that swarmed the jungle. I must confess, however, that I was not the ideal Corrington scientist. I had student debt, and I could really use a cut of the gold to pay them off." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "We all gathered in front of a platform, covered in gold. A glittering chest full of gold sat above us, an alter for their heathen gods. We were so close then. I began formulating a plan in my mind." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "They Natives brought out a hostage, a thin man who appeared to be of Mardien descent. He seemed frightened." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Native priests threw him over the alter. Slowly, the high priest raised his blade." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "We watched in silent horror as the Priest brought the knife down. Our interpreter explained. The Gold must be blessed with blood." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "When the priest was finished, the body was cast over the side, into a pile of bones." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Our interpreter told us that we would speak to the King now that the ceremony was finished. Clearly, we had to take the gold from these Heathen savages. But where were the other Mardiens?" Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr FIN Thank you for viewing the second installment of Challenge 5 part E. This is my 32x32 entry. C&C appreciated. I want to ask you guys though, am I making these to violent? I've definitely have been going for a PG13 rating because we're all adults here, but I'm not sure if people enjoy that. Let me know if you do or don't like that.

It was a short ride to the quayside from the Arlinsport Inn Captain Mesabi was staying at. He was wealthy enough to rent a horse, bot not enough for a full hansom. He soon arrived at his destination. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr A soldier stood outside his door waiting for him. "Sorry Gov, 'fraid I can't let you in 'ere." The Soldier said, in a heavy accent. "You won't let me in my own building?" Captain Mesabi asked incredulously. "Oh! 'ight then. If you own the place, you can go in then. Thought you're just a layman. Without a proper dress uniform and all all." The Soldier said apologetically. Captain Mesabi said nothing. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr The Soldier moved aside and Captain Mesabi entered the building. It was an old fishing hut, and still smelled faintly of fish. Captain Mesabi had recently purchased it with a full years pay. The first part of his master plan. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "Ah, Captain Mesabi. We've been waiting for you. We have some questions for you." The accountant asked pleasantly. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi's eye twitched. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "We understand you're looking to set up a Joint Stock Company. But were not sure a person of your... prestige... is up for the task." The accountant said apologetically. Captain Mesabi Snapped. "Listen here you little mega block. I was killing Oleonese when you were still in the mold. I have spent the last 8 years learning secrets, getting favors, and forming a plan. I know every dirty secret in the court. And It's high time I did something real for Corrington." Captain Mesabi said, full of malice Headquarters by North White, on Flickr "You think everyone is born into royal blood? Or rich enough for the academy? I watched my company die in the Juniper war and all I got out of it was a meager position in the Queen's guard. And there I have sat, making sure the royals don't fight each other drunk off of rum. Well that time is over. 8 long years I have sat idle, saving for this. And no lowly Accountant is going to tell me otherwise." "Captain!" The Guard said Sternly. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi walked to his desk, an old crate covered in papers and sat down. "You might not believe in me, but I have 25 DB scraped together and I'm going to put it to good use. And if I can get the crown to pay more, I will. I might have been a lowly Guard Captain, but I'm going to be a Sea Captain, whether you like it or not. Now get out of my headquarters!" Headquarters by North White, on Flickr The pair left in a huff. Captain Mesabi took a swig from his bottle of rum. He sighed. "If there's one thing the Oleons know, it's how to make a stiff drink." He said to himself. Headquarters by North White, on Flickr FIN Thank you for reading! This is build is going to be my headquarters for a JSC hopefully. C&C appreciated More Pictures

From the logs of Dr. Abigail Joyce, Wayfarer Trading Company's Chief Explorer. Day 42 cont. "We were invited to speak with the king, or head priest. The word didn't really translate. We were brought up into the temple where the King's throne was. The rest of our party waited outside." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The King asked us if we we could provide us with more sacrifices, in turn they would provide us with gold. Additionally, they wanted guns and steel swords so they could defeat the other tribe on the island. I tentatively agreed." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The king was pleased. He then asked us if we knew any Mardiens. I replied to him that we did not. Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Suddenly, a warrior came running in. He said something in a panicked voice." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "With a bang, he fell to the ground. The Mardiens walked into the throne room." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The two warriors were summarily executed. The king raised his hands in surrender." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Mardien Captain Shot the king. He fell to the ground dead. 'Good to see some civilized people around here,' he said to me." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "You've saved us quite a bit of time sir. I said. 50/50 split of the gold? I know you wouldn't want to risk a war with Corrington..." "Sounds good to me," He said, and side by side, we worked together to steal all the gold."

Captain Mesabi stood outside of the overgrown warehouse he had just purchased. He had spent all of his money now, but his plan was complete. Warehouse by North White, on Flickr Two Soldiers approached carrying a chest. Captain Mesabi was surprised. "What's this?" Warehouse by North White, on Flickr The Soldier's dropped the chest.

From the Logs of Abigail Joyce. Wayfarer Trade Company's Chief Explorer. Day 1. Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "I had met with Captain Mesabi beforehand about arranging this voyage. He was a grizzled veteran, a little eccentric, but seemed willing to fund my voyage. He kept mentioning his hatred of Oleon, and how exploring a mysterious island for gold would be a really good way to hurt Oleon. He agreed to get me a ship, troops and supplies. Today, was the day we launched." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Marshall and the Governor's Accountant joined us on the deck of the Suckerfish the small ship that I was given for the passage to the Island of Gold. They both looked a bit annoyed at the occasion. I overheard them talking amongst themselves. 'Is it really a good idea to send marines on a voyage to a completely unknown island?' Asked the accountant. 'I don't think it's a good idea either, but these men are completely expendable.'" Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Captain Mesabi handed me a map. 'Godspeed Dr. Phillips. May Poseidon grant you a safe journey.' He smiled, and the three men boarded the dingy and left. We soon set off for new lands." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "I adjourned to my cabin. I had maps to study. Preliminary reports from fishermen and Mardien intercepts told of Natives that were friendly and rich in gold. What would this strange new land hold? Only time would tell." FIN Thanks for viewing my first installment in the Category 5E challenge. This is my unlimited size build. C&C appreciated. I currently have no plans to license this vessel. I may modify it to be a class 5F, but I'm not sure what the exact rules are for licensing challenge builds.

It was another sunny day in Arlinsport. The breeze blew gently, stirring the hair of Captain Mesabi. Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr "I expect that you think this will convince me to write favorably about Wayfarer Trading Company to the Queen?" Asked Marshall Booker "Nonsense, Marshall. I am simply having you tour my fine new vessel." Said Captain Mesabi Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr "You should do what your conscience tells you to do. It's what I do." "Is that what possessed you to decorate a ship with the bones of Oleonese peasants? Replied Marshall Booker "Bah, someone spoiled the surprise."

Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr "I'll show you around Marshall. The Icarus Returning is a state of the art ship." Said Captain Mesabi proudly "Decorated with dead bodies." Said Marshall Booker coldly. "The Icarus Returning does happen to be decorated with remains extracted from an Oleonese cemetery." Replied Captain Mesabi calmly. "Zeus, are you trying to start a war? You know how the Oleonese feel about relics. Personally, I don't believe any of that mumbo jumbo, but this could cause a serious diplomatic incident!" "I told him it was bad luck." Chimed in Bo'sun Jacobs "We cannot negotiate with the Oleonese. They are the enemy. I saw what they did in the Juniper War, and that's license enough to go grave robbing. And Jacobs, we've talked about this. The spirits of the dead protect this ship, not curse it." "Just show me the ship." Said Marshall booker. "Right then." Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr "Here we have the tail gun, and where the crew takes shelter in heavy weather." "Impressive. How many guns does the ship have in total?"

"Not my area of expertise." Added Marshall Booker. Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr "So what do you think?" Asked Captain Mesabi "She's an impressive vessel. Dead bodies aside." Said Marshall Booker begrudgingly. "You have no taste in decor, Marshall." Icarus Returning by North White, on Flickr FIN Thanks for reading, C&C appreciated.

Captain Mesabi and a shipwright stood in front of the meager headquarters for Mesabi's new trade corporation. A seagull landed on a chest and began crying. "It appears everything is in order. Do you have the payment?" The shipwright said. Bad Blood by North White, on Flickr "Of course. I understand the ship will be here shortly." Captain Mesabi said. He handed the Shipwright a couple of Dubloons. "Yes, of course. I'm a bit perplexed by your choice of a name. Can you explain it to me?" The Shipwright asked "Bad Blood is the kind of name that lets the enemy know that you're already ready for a fight." Captain Mesabi replied. "I know the new world is mostly full of pirates, but I'd love to get in a scuffle with an Oleon vessel." "I don't think the enemy knows the name of the ship when they attack."

It was another beautiful day in Arlinsport, as Captain Mesabi walked down one of the side alleys to his favorite tavern. Hurricane season was coming. So he knew he should enjoy days like today. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr He entered the Captain's Daughter. He had never liked the name. But the environment was pleasing and the company was good. "Two please," He asked the bartender. Two red mugs were handed to him and filled to the brim with rum. "Yah betta settle up yer tab soon Mesabi. Else I'll send the gov'ners men aft' yah." The Bartender said Captain Stared hm down. The Bartender recoiled. "I have until the end of the month. You wouldn't want to lose your best patron would you?" said Captain Mesabi in a tone that could chill the bone. "Right then." The bartender glared at him as he walked away. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr Captain Mesabi sat down. Soon, who he was waiting for arrived. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr The accountant sat down. "I must say, I'm a little curious about why you wanted to meet me. Especially after yesterday." The accountant said. "Right. Sorry about that." Captain Mesabi said. "Let's start over, what's your name?" "Darby Tyler the third." Darby still looked a bit unsettled. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr "Let me tell you some of my story. I first saw combat in the Juniper war. I won't tell you what happened then, but it was the kind of thing that changes a minifigure." Captain Mesabi said, in a dismayed tone. "Okay..." Darby looked still more unsettled. "Afterwards, I became a member of the Queen's Guard. I was a palace guard for about six years before I transferred out here." Captain Mesabi said "Look, I came here in the hope that you were going to tell me you were going to apologize, and then tell me you were giving up on your plan." Darby said, Captain Mesabi took a large gulp of rum. "I dd apologize, and if you'd let me finish.." The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr Darby interrupted him. "A Joint Stock Company is not something you should be doing! You have no business experience! You have 25 Doubloons total which you already sank into a headquarters! You have 1 class C ship. What are you going to do?" Captain Mesabi answered. "I wanted to give you a job." Darby replied. "Wait What?" "I need someone to run the day to day operations, crunch numbers, dispatch ships while I work on the, well, bloodier aspects of running a JSC." "You clearly don't know what you're doing." "Alright, I don't. That's why I'm looking for people who do. You'd make a great addition to The Wayfarers Stock Company." "You're insane" "Will you at least consider it? "Fine." Darby put his hand over his head in exasperation and walked out. He hadn't even touched his Rum. The Captain's Daughter by North White, on Flickr "Kids these days are so wasteful..." FIN C&C appreciated, I based the tavern off of The London Escape, and stole a lot of the pieces to the build from it.
