Arbiter,
Th' Claymore's drive be primed n' purrin'. She be crewed n' ready, an' parked in Cannish orbit.
Aye, she merely awaits 'er Cap'm.
Me bonny Wake be tearin' void under me feet as we speak, ol' Ness in me sights.
Oi were busy wif them Rorry lads droppin' off't a wee order on Corfu, otherwise Oi'd be there already.
An' Oi'll arsk them Liberty sods wha' Oi can move th' Claymore through California n' Texas...
O'course, them sayin'
"nay" willnae mean a bloody mouse fart t' me lads - we be aye quite good at movin' unheard n' unseen.
We'll be aye there afore ye'z knoo it.
Ye just be sure'n lay in a few extra kegs fer th' Gordon lads, aye!
Top o' th' mernin' Arbiter.
This mernin' me bonny Claymore departed Invergordon Docks a' full-bore.
Murph 'ere tried t' hail Admiral Malrone, but 'e were nae answered in due 'aste, so we aye took th' back door through bloody Liberty.
*grins, winks, raises a pintglass*
Tweren't but a few hours an' we was bear'n doon on San Juan, full alert.
-Nae sign o' th' squids, must've took off't a'runnin'.
We be docked a' San Juan fer a wee wrench on th' Claymore's turret trackin' systems.
Seems 'at assault on Poirate Bay bleedin' Beltsy done tore up some capacitors.
Sinclair's see'n t' tha' noo.
Yon 'ardware'll be atcher service afore th day's up, Boss.
So lad,
...join me at th' San Juan Tavern fer a pint or three, aye?
*smiles toothily*
