Legal 411 Crap: I do not own Bodacious Space Pirates.
Chapter 2: The Arrest of the Crew Part 2
Back on the Sea of the Morning Star, Marika Kato was going to Hakuoh Academy for her schooling. When a newsflash came on the television, the reporter said,
"This just in, the crew of the Bentenmaru has been capture for crime for the charges of being piracy. All but the captain has been taken into jail. We have more at the News at Six."
When the news came in, Quartz Christie came into the classroom and said,
"Can I speak with Marika Kato?"
"Sure," said the teacher.
Marika and Quartz went to the Yacht Club room. When they got there, Marika asked,
"What had happen?"
"The Bentenmaru crew had been just arrested for piracy, but its main plan is to get them for some kind of revenge that the Hugh and Dolittle Interstellar Transport Company has on it," said Quartz.
"Oh!" said Marika, "what are we going to do?"
"Well," said Quartz, "you are a pirate. You're going to rescue them."
"Okay," said Marika, "can you attend a Yacht Club meeting this afternoon?"
"Sure," said Quartz, "what's your plan?"
"You will know," said Marika.
After school, there was a Yacht Club meeting at the club room, Quartz was in there. Chiaki Kurihara was also there with some news that she wanted to share at the meeting that day. The other members went to the club meeting as well. When they got there, Marika said,
"Did you hear what happen on the news?"
"Yes," said Chiaki, "but also there was even bad news. The Barbaroosa crew is also arrested for piracy as well."
"What are we going to do?" asked Ai Hoshimiya, a member of the club.
"Well, I was thinking of doing what we had done when the Bentenmaru Crew was sick," said Marika.
"What is she saying?" asked Quartz.
"I know where this is going," said Yayoi Yoshitomi, another member of the club. "She is going to ask us to crew the Bentenmaru. Is that right Marika… no Captain Kato?"
"Yes," said Marika, "I think that this is the best solution."
"How will you get away with it?" asked Quartz.
"Are we having a practice cruise?" asked Gruier Serenity, one of the two royal members and another member of the club.
"Yes," sad Marika.
"We'll support you," said the other club members.
"Wow," said Quartz, "that was easy. It's like they trust you."
"Well," said Marika, "I need a trusted crew to pull this off."
