Queen Anne's Revenge No POV

Jack lighted a candle as he had some of the crew with him.

Jack; the topic, gentlemen, is mutiny. Mutiny most foul.

Salaman: aye. I signed up to sail under Jack Sparrow, not some pretender.

Ezekiel; and a lady, at that.

Cook; and mention was failed to be made of the uncanny crew.

Pirate: make my toes curl, they do.

Cabin Boy: <runs over with swords and puts them on the makeshift table> I got 'em. All of 'em.

Jack: well done. Good lad. On to it, then. Blackbeard. What are his habits?

Scrum: stays mostly to his cabin.

Ezekiel: that's right, mostly to his cabin.

Jack: yes, but when he comes out...

Cabin Boy: he don't really come out.

Jack: he must come out sometime.

Scrum: not really, no.

Jack: any of you sail with him before?

Ezekiel; no, no. Definitely not. I've never.

Jack; any of you seen him before?

Salaman: not really, no.

Jack: stays to his cabin, no one sailed with him, no one's seen him... good news, gentlemen. This is not Blackbeard's ship. This is not the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Scrum: no, this be the Queen Anne's Revenge, right enough.

Jack: how do you know?

Scrum; I've seen the name, on the back of the ship.

Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Jack; gentlemen, sirs, fellow conscriptees... you have been monstrously deceived.

Salaman: we are decepted, then?

Jack: yes. You've nay been informed of a destination. Death lies before us as we sail for the Fountain of Youth.

They all mutter at this information.

Jack; it would be a sorry plight, mates. Death, for certain. The garden of darkened souls.

Ezekiel: untimely our ends will be.

Jack; unless... we take the ship.

Scrum: <takes a sword out> we take the ship, then. Now! <runs off>

Everyone else waited for Jack's word.

Jack: go on, then.

They all yelled and ran after Scrum as they woke the others and gave them weapons to start a mutiny.

Jack went to Angelica's quarters as he saw her sleeping as he grabbed the keys to the Twins' cell and pocket them before he laid down next to her.

Angelica: <sleepy> Mmm... Jack. If this is a dream, you can keep the sword and boots on. If it's not...

Jack: it's a dream.

It really wasn't as the crew were already staring to overwhelm the zombie officers as Angelica fully woke up.

Angelica: no, it's not! <throws him off the bed>

Jack; I thought I should give you fair warning, we're taking the ship.
