ONE:
Two shot. The tension has broken, somewhat.
DRAKE now leans against the table, opposite SABRE. She still holds the MAP in her hand. Both are looking at it.
1. SABRE: As you say, there are many who will not rest until they have this map in their hands.
2. SABRE: A powerful many, in all respects.
TWO:
Wide shot. SABRE, DRAKE, the cabin, the MAP in her hand.
3. SABRE: I can no sooner refuse my Rose than you relent in your pursuit of Darius Payne.
4. DRAKE: Then chart a course to satisfy both.
5. SABRE: I fear in doing so, I will place ourselves at odds.
THREE:
On SABRE. Serious, looking at DRAKE.
6. SABRE: Marshal, it grieves me to say it…
FOUR:
On DRAKE, reacting.
7. SABRE/off: …but I want you and your Tracker off of my ship.

WOW!
This, I did not see coming. This is an excellent note on which to end a chapter…I REALLY want to turn the page and keep reading!
Nice work, gentlemen!
Cela va sans dire. (“That goes without saying.”)
Ok, is it just me or should they get married? Do they get married?
She’s already married to her ship.
Lady Sabre really needs to learn to play well with others!
I think she needs to learn to play period. She’s wound tighter than a Waterbury watch.
I don’t get the impression she has a problem playing. She just doesn’t let it interfere with The Job.
I think I see a strategy here.
Ayup.
I suspect we’ll see it play out next few chapters, whatever it is.
Oh man, I thought they would stick together
Saith the Bard: Methinks the lady dot protest too much.
before the marshall can leave the shipt, the captain and the marshall will be attacked and thrown together.
or i am stopping my reading of this webcomic. i wonder, could sabre and drake get married, if sabre as the captain of the ship marries them. can a preist marry himself to his bride, if no one else is present to marry them.
Sabre doesn’t strike me the marrying type. She’s a hardy space pirate, after all. “Getting fond” of someone doesn’t imply any pending contractual obligations. 🙂
dun Dun DUNNN
Ummm… Accidental handy?
My almost-wife pointed it out, and now I can’t unsee it.
That you see it doesn’t bother me.
But I question your need to share it 🙂
