Little did anyone know that the seas today held a ominous, lurking predator. Far in the distance, a flame haired woman stood at the bow of her ship, the BlackHawke, and sailed with purpose to the seaside base. She usually went for towns and big cities with aristocrats and such, but she had little choice. The naval town with their base was the closest thing, and well, thier misfortune not hers.


As the ship grew closer to the shoreline, Kika whistled, summonning her crew to her. "Listen up! I want this to be a clean sweep. Women and children are not to be harmed, and only kill if they brandish a weapon at you and resist! We need supplies is all today so take all of one item from each building, but if there are any nobles or aritodcrats who have their homes nearby, feel free to loot them at your leisure. Final rule. If ANY of you decide to let out your perverted side and take a woman against her will, You will not suffer the pirate code punishment of death. No, that is too lenient a punishment. If I find any of you sink so low, I will have your manhood cut off, you will recieve forty lashes bareback, and left on a puny, forsaken island to be marrooned with a knife and one canteen. You will not even get a pistol. All clear?"

She looked around with fierce eyes at the crowd, mostly men, and a few women all under her command. They knew her rules and her codes, and to defy them would incur her wrath. Only a very brave or very foolish person would dare go against Kika, for she was absolute in her rules. Like all pirates, she followed articles, and each crewmember was given an equal share, and compensated for loss of limb or for injury, and would gain some extra. As captain, she got half, the rest was distrubuted evenly to each and every crewmember on her ship. Punishments could be debated on when they caught a rule breaker, but some rules were not to be negotiated. Kika had final say, and if she was set on something, nothing would change her mind. Nothing.

With a nod, the pirate queen raised her sword as they came into the docks. "You know the drill, now move out!"
