Commodore Steve stands at the pier with his hands clasped behind his back, feeling a cool breeze glide over his face. He hears a man walk up behind him; as usual, it's his second in command, Dugan, nicknamed Dum Dum because of his brains. An ongoing joke, in a sense.

He taps Steve on the shoulder and Steve glances at him.

"Hello, 'Commodore.'" He smirks, and Steve rolls his eyes. The crew had been saying things like that ever since Steve's promotion.

"Dum Dum. Any word on the Starchaser?" Steve asks, they had been tracking the pirates for some time now, and Steve was starting to get anxious, as they kept slipping through any punishment they were approached with.

Dum Dum shakes his head and sighs, looking off into the horizon as he thinks.

"No, sir," he says quietly. Steve looks away, nodding a little.

"Don't worry, we'll get them soon enough," Steve replies, turning to him once more. Dum Dum nods then wanders away to join the rest of Steve's crew aboard the Commando. His crew consisted of Dum Dum, Frenchie, Monty, Gabe, Jim, and Peggy, the only lady. After a while Steve goes to join his crew on the Commando, thinking hard.
