IT ELUDED US THEN, BUT THAT'S NO MATTER—TOMORROW WE WILL RUN FASTER,
STRETCH OUT OUR ARMS FARTHER....AND ONE FINE MORNING———
SO WE BEAT ON, BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT, BORNE BACK CEASELESSLY INTO THE PAST.
— FRANCIS SCOTT KEY FITZGERALD
It's raining.
No,
it is not.
It's the "Storm."
The "Storm" is coming.
Aha ... Are you feeling seasick?
Open your eyes, followers!
It's 12 at noon and the rocking APPLe is welcoming the most unwelcome visitors ...
I'll hold of you a public hearing!
You stalkers, stalking me the Pirate for days.
Get ready to be shocked away by the rock'n'rolling coasters night and day!
Now, listen to Radio APPLe, come with me! Let's count down to ecstasy!
Three!
Two!
One!
Say your names, you British government stooges!
Say your names, you Manus Vindictae robbers!
You banned music?
You robbed traders?
Our lips are sealed and we wandered
but nothing's gonna change
our love for freedom ever!
Regulus: What's going on?! What happened?
APPLe: Captain! There is a huge black ship behind us. We are under attack!
Regulus: Bloody hell! Turn off the microphone!
Regulus: A bridge ...? Veined cannons ...? What the hell is that?!
Regulus: You've gotta be kidding! I only played a song!
APPLe: Captain, that is the emblem of Manus Vindictae!
The wind is wuthering.
Regulus: Manus Vindictae? Those terrorists?
Regulus: Is it because of my "little thing?" Or ...
Regulus: Ha. I get it ...
Regulus: Your accomplices are here!
Regulus: Remember, you're still captives of the Pirate Regulus! Order them to hold fire, or I'll ...
Another bomb hits the ship. The smell of gunpowder and sparks soon fill the air.
Regulus: *coughs*
APPLe: We are sinking. Please prepare to abandon the ship, my captain.
Regulus: Whoa ...
She scrambles to dispel the mute incantation on the captives.
Regulus: Hey! Hey, hey! I'll let you go. Just please don't sink my ship!
Regulus: My records are my most precious treasures ... Please, no violence!
Regulus: Hey! Can you hear me? Say something!
Male Investigator: ...
Female Investigator: ...
Female Investigator: *cough* ... We're not with them. We tried to tell you!
Male Investigator: We're investigators from the Foundation.
Female Investigator: You've got the wrong people.
Regulus: Ahh ...
Regulus: Protect the records!!
