Yousef Chaher, Jose, Cranston, Citlalnite the Pirate, and Tlotli the Parrot (yes, even the parrot) had spent days giving a paint job to a stolen Huenyan Huaca-class patrol vessel. The parrot was not much help, but Citlalnite had insisted on giving him a paintbrush.
Yousef was currently in the process of painting a Saladian flag over the top of a Huenyan flag (which had, in turn, been painted over an old-style Xiomeran flag). Cranston had spent a while rearranging things in the interior compartments so the ship did not match Huenyan designs precisely. Jose and Citlalnite had spent much of the time chatting. Yousef wanted to scream.
After all, it wasn’t his fault his father had decided to become a dictator. It wasn’t his fault that no legitimate company would hire him because of the bad publicity from who his father was. It wasn’t his fault that after the abuse he’d received in Lauchenoiria, he’d taken the first ‘job’ that could get him out of the country. And yet.
The vessel was from the 1970s, so they were having to make a fair number of modifications to make it appear as if it was new. The decision to paint it in the colours of Salad Land came after a friend of Citlalnite who currently lived there reported that Grundhavn had done so on the ships they sent. They couldn’t be outdone! Especially when they needed to paint it anyway.
They would soon be finished, and when they were, they’d get in touch with the Marquis and, well, set sail for Salad Land.
