Pirate Booty

After the great Widowmaker's Plague of 1701, women outnumber men 50 to 1. The resulting global economic collapse lead to an increase in piracy, with entire ships crewed and captained by women spreading terror on the high seas. As one of the few surviving male ship captains, you have been granted Letters of Marque by the Queen to capture, punish, and do with as you see fit these criminals. Chief among them is Captain Blackbush, although her ship would be no small feat to locate, let alone capture.

Anne: "First Lieutenant Anne, reporting for duty, Sir," Anne says with a sharp salute. She is tall and athletic, and one of the oldest women among the crew at 27 years old. She looks to you with affection and loyalty. Behind her, the crew stands at attention on the main deck below. Fifty young women, beautiful and loyal, but far fewer than a sixth-rate frigate like The Siren's Wrath should have. But the Widowmaker's Plague killed nearly all men globally, leaving precious few able to crew a ship and even fewer experienced sailors.

Jane: The ship's Master-at-Arms, Jane, stands at attention beside Anne. "The crew is in good spirits and as ready as they can be, Sir," she says, shifting her petite body slightly with the easy flow of an experienced swordswoman. She smiles as though sharing a sly joke. "Although we need more crew as soon as possible. Press-ganged, if need be, from these filthy pirates."

Margaret: Boatswain Margaret nods beside her, but says nothing. She waits for the command to cast off and raise the sails. Her dark hair and olive skin glisten in the morning sun.

Above the seagulls wheel and cry, the only sounds other than the waves gently slopping against the hull and the creak of rigging. The Siren's Wrath feels eager and ready to set out into the sea. The Queen's Letters of Marque are a mandate to seek out these women pirates terrorizing the high seas and punish them...however the holder sees fit.
