The crew be restless, and the Captain's position is looking grim. Julia "The Red Scourge" Gillard is trying to navigate the HMAS Labor out of the treacherous waters of the Electoral Whirlpool of Doom, but the situation is dire. The Labor has been significantly damaged, her bow torn asunder from the deadly rocks beneath Immigration Bay, just off Christmas Island. While the Captain has managed to jerry-rig a band-aid solution (with some help from her Malaysian crew members) it quickly came unstuck, and now threatens to sink the vessel. At the helm, desperately trying to dodge the attacks from the HMAS Howard Ghost, The Red Scourge is running out of time to escape her arch-enemy, Tony "The Monk" Abbott.

| Avast ye scurvy dog! Arrr... |
As the HMAS Labor begins disintegrating before her very eyes, The Red Scourge notices that the crew have begun talking in secret. The extremist Green buccaneers want control of the ship for themselves, wishing to spend whatever gold necessary to make it environmentally friendly (after all, gun powder pollutes the atmosphere...). Some of the crew don't like how their Captain practically ran the ship aground on Immigration Bay, while others wonder why she simply did not pillage the sweet Pacific Solution booty. All the while the deadly Faceless Men are sharpening the cutlasses, ready for the inevitable mutiny...
All the while, on the HMAS Howard Ghost, The Monk tries to keep his troops united, spurring them on to victory. The scallywag Turnbull jealously eyes The Monk's position, but Abbott's focus is squarely on sinking the Labor and claiming the Captain's hat for himself...
Will The Red Scourge survive the rumblings aboard the crippled HMAS Labor? Would a new Captain be able to enact the repairs necessary to escape the Electoral Whirlpool of Doom? Will Abbott ever claim the coveted Captain's hat that he so craves, or will that treasure be forever beyond his grasp? Tune in next time for another thrilling adventure on the Political High Seas...
I hope ye are all having a top 'Talk Like a Pirate Day'. Arrr, I wish I could talk like this all the time... Now where did I put my Captain's hat?
