Location: Verschluss Sea
Characters: Altera
The sound of the steam engine mixed with the sea shanties of the sailors and marines. As Altera sipped her tea, while contemplated at a map of the sea and its complex web of shipping lanes and wind patterns. Her first mates head appeared in the doorway leading to the main deck, speaking quickly he said "Vasan Imperial ships sighted on the horizon!" Altera looked up from the map and tea realizing she spilled when her first mate came in. She started to speak then held her tongue proceeding to stand up. She continued thinking for a moment then promptly said, "Show me."
Walking out onto deck of the ship sailors and marines saluted her as she passed them. She made her way to the ladder up to the crows nest and began to climb to the top. The lookout gave her his hand to help her up which she accepted, pulling herself up onto the small wooden platform. She took out her own spy glass and viewing the Vasan fleet. Altera chuckled slightly to herself as she noticed the ships change course realizing that Alexander's wager that they feared the Oberland's navy seemed true. Finishing her observation observation she began to descend the ladder.
Back on the deck of the ship Altera began giving orders, "Navigator, set our course to get down wind of the fleet. Signal the fleet to follow and make preparations for possible combat. Clean the ship I want it spotless and ready for a parlay, if the situation warrants it. Now move!" The fleet took on battle formation, crew members ran around cleaning and polishing every inch and corner of every ship.
