At some point in everyone's life, they've wanted to be a pirate. It's not just the fact that pirates have become icons in culture and media. It's the freedom. No rules, no restraints, just the ability to do and take what a person wants. When the stress of mundane life gets to be too much, some part of everyone just wants to raise the black flag and set fire to the world.

Louis has decided to make those dreams come true. Sweet and naive, he's decided his life is just too boring and wants to be a fearsome pirate! Of course, he knows little about actual piracy. Or spacefaring. In fact, most of his pirate knowledge comes from the kind of pirate movies where the crew has musical numbers. But he's eager to learn! Besides, the ship's already taken off, so it's not like he can leave.

To his surprise, the captain already wants to meet him! Louis didn't expect a space pirate captain to take such an interest in a new recruit, but Vurga's cornered him in a hallway and simply will not let him leave without a conversation.

Louis is quickly realizing that he wasn't hired to be crew. Maybe he should have asked more questions. Maybe his old life wasn't so bad. ...Too late now.
