I am once again at the helm of the Night Ship, headed into the long channels of the Dark. If I reach the Morning Isles, I will say one prayer for you, one prayer for me, and one prayer for the sleep we've lost along the way.
Now take the wheel while I go below for coffee and self pity.

Captain's Log: Supplemental
This journey would not be necessary were it not for the nefarious business practices of certain pirates, I mean privateers, that the Company has contracted with.
