	-00SLAVES
		For as long as anyone could remember, the Hobs had served and slaved for their masters.
	-01ESCAPE
		When they escaped, it was a complete surprise. Why didn't they flee sooner? Why now? They had stolen a ship and were gone, that much was clear.
	-02STORM
		The Rigo was a good ship, but she and her crew were no match for the storm that blew out of the east. The Hobs lost control, and it appeared nature would end their adventure.
	-03BEACHED
		And yet they survived. The ship was damaged, but the Hobs could not bear leaving the Rigo behind. It was the first thing they had ever called their own, and it was a symbol of their freedom.
	-04AWAY
		The results may have been ramshackle, but still they succeeded in making her land-worthy. Onward towards freedom they rode.
	-05MEANWHILE
		But the Hobs were far from safe. The Master of the Shattered Isles was furious at what had happened and he dispatched his Komandants to recover his escaped property.

		Of course I can read the map! I am wearing the big hat, aren't I? Now it says here...
	-SHAMAN
		*Hck, hck* I sssee you.
	-CAPLIN
		Egad, it is one the of the Komandants, they found us. Quick! Ready the gun!

[1-5]
	-SHAMAN
		*Hck, hck* When you went misssing, there were many questions. But one thing was clear: *hck* Nobody, sssaid you could go. Now here I am to bring you home.
	-CAPLIN
		Crewlin! To your positions!
		
[1-11]
	-SHAMAN
		*Hck* Enough. You are ssslaves, and you will ssserve. *hck* Alive or dead you will ssserve. Right, men?

[1-11end]
	-CAPLIN
		We did it?
	-SHAMAN
		I curssse you! *hck* I curssse your foolisssh ambitions. But I wasss not the only one sssent to bring you to heel. *hck* The other Komandants will find you sssoon enough.
	-CAPLIN
		Prepare to move out.
	-CAPLIN
		...
	-CAPLIN
		Of course there is no leader. Now bring the Rigo around fifteen degrees starboard, I think there is a place where we can find supplies.

	-00ONWARD
		With the Shaman defeated, the Hobs set course for a city far in the distance. They hoped that there they would find supplies and shelter.
	-01EMPTY
		Upon entering the city, the Hobs found it oddly empty. So they began to scavenge what they could find.
	-02ATTACKED
		They thought they were alone, but they would soon learn that was not the case.

[2-1]
	-CAPLIN
		Well, the good news is it does not appear people will mind if we take what is left...
	-KNIGHT
		I hail a hail to the Hobs:
		Turn your ship around.
		Alas, you shall find nothing here;
		There's nothing to be found.
		I burned up half the city,
		And the rest, I burned it down.
	-CAPLIN
		Reverse, reverse! If we start now, we can lose him in all this smoke.
	-CAPLIN
		...
	-CAPLIN
		What? The Enlin says that there is too much rubble blocking the way? Tell him...
	-KNIGHT
		Engarde!
	-CAPLIN
		Uh, oh.
		
[2-4]
	-KNIGHT
		This bridge is held by Steel;
		I am famous for my fame.
		I do not care for brave or fools,
		To me it's all the same.
		All marks I hit and never miss;
		I have the greatest aim.
	-CAPLIN
		How can they still be clearing the path?
	-CAPLIN
		...
	-CAPLIN
		Just break the shovel in two so they can each get half and stop quarreling.
	-KNIGHT
		Advance!

[2-9]
	-KNIGHT
		Creatures great or creatures small,
		Which d'you think be thee?
		Take more pride in your lowly place;
		Bowed heads mean stability.
		Lay down your arms and give up hope;
		You were not meant to be free.
	-CAPLIN
		You're saying each time the route gets cleared the rubble from the battle blocks it again?
	-CAPLIN
		...
	-CAPLIN
		Holding our fire is not going to work.
	-KNIGHT
		Have at thee!
		
[2-9end]
	-KNIGHT
		This Komandant has met his end
		In a terrible, glorious fight.
		My mailed gauntlet shattered,
		Though I swung with all my might.
		This bridge I held is now released,
		and I go quietly into night.
	-CAPLIN
		Call them back and tell them to stop wasting time in the rubble.
	-CAPLIN
		...
	-CAPLIN
		What do I care if it is clear? We are going the other way.

	-00VICTORY
		By now, the crew of the Rigo knew that their old masters were in hot pursuit. So they made their way out of the ruined city as fast as they could.
	-01WRONG
		The Hobs hoped that they could evade their enemy by charting a route through the Nine Gorges. However, a critical error in navigation led them astray.
	-02SNOW
		They found themselves in the woods, and as the weather turned they were unable to make further progress.

	-CAPLIN
		Caplin's Log: Supplies are running low. The Crewlin blame me for this development. They won't listen when I explain the blizzard was not on the chart.
	-SNOW
		Greetings, gentlemen. I knew my waiting would not be in vain.
	-CAPLIN
		Wah? How did you find us, we were lost, erm...
	-SNOW
		The secret to being a master hunter is getting inside the head of your prey. In your case, I came up with a brilliant escape plan, and then I assumed you would do precisely the opposite.
	-CAPLIN
		Impossible!
	-SNOW
		Clearly not. While I was waiting, I took the time to outfit my crew for the cold. Oh. And I feel it is only sporting to warn you that you are surrounded by mines. I would be careful if I were you.

[3-4]
	-CAPLIN
		Caplin's Log: The Crewlin are putting up a good fight, but I don't see a way out of this.
	-SNOW
		Do you know why I have not crushed you yet?
	-CAPLIN
		Our unconquerable spirit?
	-SNOW
		Hardly. I am a sportsman, not some thug. If I did not give you a chance, then there would be no challenge in hunting you. In fact, I promise to let you win a few more times if you keep me entertained.
	-CAPLIN
		You're bluffing!
	-SNOW
		Am I? I simply said you could survive another sortie if you put up a good fight. Do you really want to prove me wrong?

[3-9]
	-CAPLIN
		Caplin's Log: I am proud of the men, they seem to think we can win. But I find the Komandant's words weigh on my mind. Perhaps it is time to give up?
	-SNOW
		Before I end this game, I feel like I should tell you why, of all the creatures I have hunted, I despise you the most.
	-CAPLIN
		Is it our nerves of steel?
	-SNOW
		Far from it. The others were angry that you had escaped the Shattered Isles, but not I. I was disgusted that it took you this long to try. Any other beast would have made this attempt long ago.
	-CAPLIN
		Well, we are free now.
	-SNOW
		No. Not after this.

[3-9end]
	-SNOW
		Impossible! My tactics were flawless; how can this be I am defeated? What happened?
	-CAPLIN
		That's a good question.
	-SNOW
		Every man for himself! Try not break your fall on the mines.
	-CAPLIN
		Caplin's Log: I had planned to surrender, but couldn't find the white flag. No matter, the Crewlin have proven themselves. I will never give up hope again.
	-CAPLIN
		All hands, I knew we could do it. Once this storm passes we will be on our way.

	-00THAW
		Defeating the Komandant provided enough supplies to outlast the storm, and once the snow had melted some, the Rigo was on its way.
	-01GRABED
		As they emerged from the woods, they learned that the long arm of the Shattered Isles could not be escaped that easily. Literally.
	-02AIRSHIP
		The steel claw holding the Rigo fast retracted into the airship. As their eyes adjusted to the light, they prepared for the worst.

[4-1]
	-SCIENTIST
		The subjects will bring the vehicle to a complete halt so as to facilitate the experiment procedure.
	-CAPLIN
		Experiment? What do you want?
	-SCIENTIST
		The experiment is designed to test several theories about the subjects' physical and mental capabilities.
	-CAPLIN
		Such as?
	-SCIENTIST
		Initiate Phase I: Survival Instincts. Fire weapons.

[4-4]
	-SCIENTIST
		Hmm. The subjects appear to have survived.
	-CAPLIN
		This is monstrous; we want to be free!
	-SCIENTIST
		Hmm, yes. The initial estimates for the application of lethal force appear to be far too low. Subjects will prepare for further testing. Begin Phase II: Fear Response.
		
[4-8]
	-SCIENTIST
		The subjects will exit their vessel at this time so that Phase III may begin.
	-CAPLIN
		We will not! This ship is our home now. Why should we abandon it?
	-SCIENTIST
		The dissection phase is the most crucial. Subjects are not permitted to leave the testing facility.
	-CAPLIN
		We prefer our insides where they are. Attack!
		
[4-8end]
	-SCIENTIST
		Hmm. The subjects have shown a great resistance to the test regimen. Perhaps further tests will...
	-CAPLIN
		New plan: focus the guns on the vats and tanks. Maybe the spilled fluid will damage his machine.
	-SCIENTIST
		No! My precise calibrations! Subjects are not to interfere with research equipment.
	-CAPLIN
		Then let us go. Oh, and call us by our name.
	-SCIENTIST
		Er, ready the exit ramp for the, um, subjects.
	-CAPLIN
		Load cannon!
	-SCIENTIST
		Wait, wait! Lower the exit ramp for the, um, Rigonauts.
	-CAPLIN
		That's better. OK, head out.

	-00FALLING
		Like a beast that had swallowed a stinging bug, the airship spat the Hobs out. They survived the fall; the Rigo had seen much worse by now.
	-01END
		Their freedom defended, the Hobs were wild with joy. There was no chance they would ever return to their days of servitude. With that thought on their minds, the Rigonauts turned their ship towards a better tomorrow.
