Phoenix didn't quite know what to expect when the captain had called him for an "emergency meeting." However, he knew they were finally shipping off and, frankly, that was all he cared about.

Being stationary gave him the chills.

Phoenix made his way to his captain's quarters excitedly. A new lead? A new adventure? Anything sounded good right then, but he was more than confident that whatever the captain (because he was the captain) had to offer would be well worth the wait.

Nick opened the door and strode in, narrowly avoiding tripping on the edge of the carpet. "Hey there, Captain! I heard you have some news for me."

Not a moment after the navigators arrival there's the obvious squeak of rubber on polished wood before someone knocks, crisply, on the door, and then opens it.

Making sure to close the door carefully behind him, Sonic grinned, throwing something that was half a salute and half a wave, a gesture that had become common coming from the hedgehog.

"Got here soon as things were settled, Cap'n! Didn't miss anythin', did I?" he asks, smiling brightly.

Kurt grinned wider as Phoenix and Sonic made their way to his office. He stood up from his desk, holding a rolled up map in hand and gave it to the Navigator. "No, Sonic, you're just in time," He said to his first mate before turning back to Phoenix.

Motioning for him to open up the map he went on, "I need you to plot us the quickest course from here, to the island of Teocuilatl!"

He leaned back on his desk and said to the both of them now. "I've caught word of an unimaginable treasure that rests there. Unfortunatly, I'm not the only one whose caught this word, so pretty soon the rest of Tortuga will be on their way. It's imperative we get there first."

Phoenix leaned forward unintentionally to peer at the map. Already, his mind was drawing invisible lines all across it, plotting points and try to remember air currents.

"Treasure, you said?" he rested his chin in his hand thoughtfully, "Sounds like a good deal to me!"

Walking over to the desk, Phoenix took a closer look at the map. His brows furrowed in concentration momentarily, and he looked at his captain with a quizzically worried expression. "Wait....do you want the fastest course, or the course least likely to smash through Britannian airspace?"

Nick paused, thinking, and mumbled thoughtfully to himself, "I could go both ways, I suppose...."

[speedandsky]

The little hedgehog's ears perk and his grin pulls sharply as he hears the word. He rocks back on his heels, obviously already excited by the prospect.

"Unimaginable treasure..." he echoes, quietly, moving so he can peer, curiously, at the map Phoenix is looking over.

He can't help but smirk knowingly at the mumble and he looks from the navigator and up to Kurt instead, an ear flicking, thoughtfully.

"I don't think it'd much matter, all told, eh cap'n?" he says, voice somewhere between pleased but still serious.

"If we ain't the first ones t'have heard of this, we're gonna haveta be ready. Every blackheart in Tortuga is gonna be chasin' it and they ain't gonna be wantin' t'share information over tea and crumpets with their competition, either..."
