OK Skipper, Dan. Let's hear some answers to the Captain's question. He doesn't take hiding the truth very kindly.

The crew follow Dan aboard the Minnow as they continue their questioning. Some of the other crew members begin a more detailed search of the fishing boat discovering a small closet filled with diving gear. Tucked in between two diving suits is the horrifying Creature from the Deep costume. 8-

Diver Dan is trying to get away in the Minnow!

Great review Hink, and I love your Web Site. Very nice. I can't believe we finally have dwarves. Now we just need elves for the next batch of new Castle figs. I really like the orcs. They will make a great addition to Grave Stone (eventually). We can finally have a great game of Lego D&D. The set has some great playability factors. I also like the iron wheel. I'm most impressed with the mining cars - both color and build. I would have expected single piece molds as well, but the design is very nice. You had commented about the use of a catapult in a mine. I'm picturing this set within a much larger cavern/grotto. In any case, I've been noticing your avatar and guessing you had the new set. Great review and the bit of humor with adding some of the EBers to it, priceless. Thanks for an excellent review!

Es-queeze me, es-queeze me... But does anyone hear that noise? It sounds like someone is trying to jump start the Minnow... 8-|

Excellent. I love both the vehicle and the diorama. You did a really nice job with the custom German torsos. This is what I'm hoping the Indiana Jones theme would offer.

Ya Mein Captain. But a schnitzel vill vork much better. X-D Here is mein luger just in case you need it! ;-)

OK, OK, I'll tell you what I know X-O . Just don't hurt me :'-( . I don't work for Corporate. I was paid by a crime lord on the mainland to delay this ship so that the Skipper and Diver Dan could get on board and steal the cargo. I swear I don't know what it is though. I was never provided that information, nor the code to unlock it. I swear! I did sabotage the engine with the hammer and used my Star Fleet Emblem to clog the main fuel line. But I didn't steal that Creature suit or kill Stinky. I swear it Captain! I bet they did! (pointing again to the Skipper and Diver Dan)

Arrr Captain! But I told you da first time already |-/ . I bought it to teach dese silly lazy land-lov'n crew o'yours a ting about discipline. I be got da idea from a book I was read'n, Discipline Through Fear. I thought a little sea monster humor would scare dem into shape, bring dem togeder. I didn't tink things would go badly, and little Bennie Boy would be get'n scared like he did and run under da cargo container like he did and all. After hurt'n him, I thought for sure you'd be get'n rid o'me. So I hid da costume in me chest before our voyage. I did go into your room a few times to see if you were go'n to court martial me. But you are a good Captain, arrr! I'm just sorry for what I did to poor Bennie Boy here. Can you ever forgive Bennie? :-( But Captain, he's got to be the Creature! You said it yourself. Don't believe him. And these two from the Minnow, they're thieves!

I saw them sneak aboard the ship. I tried to stop them. They roughed me up! Told me they wanted me to unlock the cargo. I don't have the code though.

They're out to steel the cargo Captain! They've been following us since we left the mainland. They threatened to kill me if I said anything. :'-(

Unhand me at once! It's not me you want, it's those two! Pointing to the Skipper and Diver Dan

Oh: me had dose for years now dar. I collect da old pirate relics and gold coins. Dey are wort a pretty penny now, but I did had'um for years. Me treasure isn't much for deez greedy collectors here. I be think'n they're after something much bigger and better dan me old coins. Whoever stole me Creature costume left 'um in da chest wit a puddle of salty sea water. Dat should be tell'n you its not be me coins dey iz after. And to answer Scotty's question, I didn't wore da suit for da whole time you all be on dis ship. I be swear'n it on me drowned grandmoder's grave! And I didn't be kill'n the stinky fisherman for dat matter eider. Me swears it! It is clear that this man is lying through his teeth. He probably snuck around the ship with a sharp knife until he found an innocent victim, then cut him open like a dead fish. Captain, we've heard enough from this drunk now, let's lock him in the brig until we get back to the mainland. I'm sure the Skipper and Dan are here to help us. Hey Captain, guess what! I've got great news. I think we can start this ship back up. Strangest thing, I found this wedged in the Engine Turbine Manifold Condensor. It was clogging the main fuel line! (hands the Captain a Star Trek Star Fleet shirt emblem)

Something is definately strange here. What is this whispering between you and Diver Dan? Care to do some explaining yourself Skipper. What is this treasure you keep whispering about? If Mr. Mason is telling the truth about the Creature costume and that it was stolen from his room (like the note we found), then who stole it? Also, what were you doing with the costume in the first place Mr. Mason? Arrr! You're the only mate mak'n any smarts of all of dis Petie. I had da suit in me room to scare da crew wit. Give them some real discipline, just like in me book you know - Discipline Through Fear. You all see how dey need it wit Captain Love Fest on da ship and all. Come'n togeder through fear of the Creature from da Deep. I never hurts no one dow, just Bennie - but it was da accident. I didn't knows he'd be get'n scared like he did. After we boarded, figur'n what I did to Bennie and all, I locked it up in me treasure chest. Someone picked da lock and took it dough. Whoever the scurvey pirate was had to be skilled at get'n treasure chests open... That's all I know. I be drink'n in here wit Mr. Ottobauhn since you be search'n me room. He can vouch for me dar, tell'm Ottoburger!

Bennie Boy, I order you to unhand me and untie me. I won't be questioned by any two-bit Rent-A-Skipper and his little dive'n Gilligan Buddy-Boy, not on me own ship - beg'n the Captain's pardon. I say we throw that sneeky bunch o'pirate feed on dar little fish'n trolly and send them back on dar three hour tour. It won't but be a few hours before that silly slap'n captain will steer that little paper boat right into da reef and be trapped on da island of shame. I say let him go back to his silly movie stars and farm girls where he be come'n from. I'm not be da monster you be make'n me out to be, Captain. Someone stole me costume from me chest for some evil plot he be do'n. Untie me Captain and you should be a question'n da oders - start'n wit the Skipper and his little Buddy Boy. And I don't be trust'n that Geno-berry. He be too suspicious sneak'n around da ship look'n under tings and all. |-/

Great find! What a cool set. This looks like a must for the Castle fan.

Sobering up zer... I von't have it in mein Galley! Drinks for mein friends, all PROST!

Ein, zwei, drei, vier, who ready for ano'ser beer? Doesn't thar kinda Skipper always have some kinda silly sidekick he be always slap'n and fun'n wit. Call him his little buddy boy and all, and be slap'n him in da hammock as he be get'n tied up in it and all dar. You all know his type, silly and all angry slap'n hat kinda Skipper-like. Oh, now I see it as plain as da nose on me face. Dat Diver Man der is his little buddy. Isn't he just a cute little man dar in his little tights and scuba gear. He be probably the one that stole me Creature Costume. I wouldn't doubt it one bit, greedy little buddy and all - look'n for treasure in all da wrong places!

Oh, I know his type thar Capt'n. He's one of those boat renter captains thar, the kind that buys his sailor's hat in der Gap store in da mall. Puts a flashy tin crown on it to look like he wer somethe'n. I sailed with his kind dar before for dose three hour tours. He'll get scared the first sight of a storm and turn his boat real fast like onto da reef. Be trapped on da island wit movie stars and nerdy professors dar. Just silly with his self and all. Like somethin out of a Sponge Bob cartoon like. Looking at the Skipper: ;-)

I must protest to this line of questioning Captain. It's obvious that this man is drunk. What can you hope to get out of him with an apple stuck in his mouth.

I aint got not'n in der pockets dar! Can't you see dar empty. Or is dat silly old Skipper in the life preserver imagine'n I'm his little Buddy Boy. I'll take a switch to him and that yellow jacket o'his, if you untie me Capt'n Love Vest.

Sure - you big sissy land-lov'n pirate dawg. Go on and tie me up fer yer little marine fantasies thar Captain. I know all about you and those Love Boat dreams of yers. hickup Pretty tough when your opponent tied like a pig wit an apple in the mouth, are ye. Just don't be sing'n dat Physical song by Olivia Newton. I always hated that song thar, I 'll tell you anything, but dat!

Oh, if it isn't the fine Captain Steubing and his band of merry men, come for a little drink thar? What brings y'all to this fine establishment of me German friend, Ottoburger? Prance'n around in yer white tuxedo like a little penguin on a mission. Tard of searching through me things and come to court martial me now. Well, I'm about ready to walk the plank Captain, but I'm taking yer scurvey bunch of undisciplined sailors wit me. Who wit me? Holds up beer real high, then falls to the ground face first.

Schnapps for Mein Captain and his good (hickup) crew.

Yo, ho, ho... and another bottle of rum mate! *wub*
