#1 If we be pirates, mate, then we can keep the scuds next time!

P.S. -- Why would they try to set fire to a cement hauler? Does this mean the crew knew what their cargo really was? And if everything was on the up and up, why did they feel a need to bury the scuds under cement?

#2 Next time we should quietly use a stealth torpedo after the inspection.

#5 The pirates were on the unflagged, unamed (painted out) ship that refused a lawful order to halt and be inspected. Matey.

They're lucky it didn't get scuttled.

#6 Mebbie, George Merry, we stopped yonder tub an' gave to them the Black Spot. Just as a kindly warnin' to North 'o the Parallel Koh-rheans that they will wind up visitin' Davey Jones if they pass this here way agin' carrin' contrary cargo.
