“What plan?” I asked hesitantly.
“It’s not much.” said Corbluff. “But I am not at liberty to reveal it at this point in time.”
“Oh.”
“But don’t you worry, my sweet.” he said flashing me a grin. “I’m am quite sure you will enjoy it.”

That was the last conversation about it I ever had with him. I didn’t do much aboard the Blue Meander, which really started to make me uncomfortable. I wasn’t used to not doing anything, so one day I went down to the Captain’s chamber and asked if I could be allowed to cook for the men. At first he was reluctant, but he agreed when I pointed out it would do the crew some good to have food that they actually liked.
So from then on I was the cook for the Blue Meander. The original cook became my assistant, he didn’t much care for cooking. The crew even gave me a nickname, “Lady Cook.”
All was going just fine until the Blue Meander came under attack.
