Silver was starting to feel more than uncomfortable. Who was this guy? Was he supposed to know him from somewhere? The Equinid then introduced himself as Lucas Kelly...a.k.a "The Phantom". Then it all came back to Silver in one instant memory flash. One time Silver had just finished raiding a cargo ship when this Navy ship appeared out of thin air,it seemed like. Actually he and his crew were so caught up in the excitement that they had forgotten to keep a lookout for the authorities. Well,they managed to break away from the authorities in that every time he and his crew would find something to loot,there was always this one ship that would show up. Lucas had actually been a pirate himself and still had connections who alerted him as to when a 'big one' would be coming through. Silver had met with Lucas on only two occasions,face to face. The other times he was sent word from him. Silver wondered how old he was because he had to have been at least 60...and that was almost 20 years ago. Lucas goes on to tell Silver,"...I had kept my eye on you ever since and have been tracking you as I've been managed to elude me several times but I was always able to find you I was very surprised,to say the least,when I got news of some tantalizing targets that you didn't go after. Then one day I was showing those brats how to be a good member of the Navy...and most of them ignored me and probably thought I was just an old geezer who probably forgot lots of things anyway...But one stood apart from them all and took in every word I had to say. And soon after, I happened to overhear him talking to a...uh,something...and talking of how you completely turned his life around. Had he not gone on that journey he never would be anything now. When I came in and asked who he may have been talking to-I didn't see anyone or anything at first-he motioned to a little pet that looked strangely like you.
Then it turned back into its normal form. That young chap proceeded to tell me how much he had achieved from under your guidance. Needless to say I was in doubt that he was talking about the same John Silver that I knew when I left that day,I decided to test out a theory...and it has proved to be true. And if I still had authority in that wasting place I'd tell them to expunge your criminal past."
Silver didn't know what to say. For lack of words he asked,"So you were the one that kept buzzing around every time I found a ship?"
At that the crowd burst into laughter and started asking Silver questions again...between eating mouthfuls of food and drink.
Afterwards,Silver is satiated with the fine meal and rum and heads out to get some fresh happens to run into Bosco and cordially greets him. He then gets to talking about Dawn and asks the android how she could become the captain when she has such a disability? Bosco simply states that he didn't want to tell him and that he should ask her if he really wants to know. Silver,thinking that he has offended someone here asks,"Is it a personal matter with her?" "Yes,very much so that she only reveals it to a select few whom she trusts." Then he quickly adds as an afterthought,"If she fully trusts you,she will tell you...in her own time."
