After rallying from a coordinated surprise attack and mutiny to an overwhelming victory, the Captain's Council of The Uhuru  and Orimar Vale specifically, have an important decision to make: What should they do with their contoured adversaries? This was a calculated attack, Uhuru lives were lost. They cannot appear weak. At the same time, The Silver Bullet is a corsair ship, even if they are not with The Tempest Armada they attack with less malice and brutality than Red Feathers. Orimar looks to his past to find what sort of captain he needs to be right now. CONTENT NOTEMain Show: Body horror, betrayal, discussion of punishment and treatment of prisonersDear Uhuru: I honestly think this one might make people too happy?
