"Okay, Everyone to the ship!" I hollered

"You mean get in that," The forth guy, who I later found out is named Trent, asked terrified

"Yeah, what else would I be pointing to," I said "Did you think you were going to fly on a unicorn?"

"That would be nice," said the guy with the cookie craving

"You know what's better Jack?" the guy with the TNT, who wanted to be called "Pilot", added

"What?"

"An explosive unicorn!"

"Everyone!" I had to yell at the top of my lungs "We have to go to a training mission or you all won't get to ride on any type of unicorn!"

"Yes, Sir!" they all said in unison

I was quite amazed of how fast they got to their battle stations if I offered them a unicorn ride but, I digress. I had to command these morons and that would be difficult.

I immediately encountered difficulties. They didn't know their starboard to there port or even there left or right at times. I saw Pilot sneaking in extra TNT into a torpedo, Jack was busy eating cookies and accidentally steered us into an allie's ship, and Trent was cowering in corner. When we finnaly got to position after a hard infuriating hour of sailing.

"Pilot get the torps loaded!" I commanded "Jack steer the ship so the torps are aimed at the dummy ship's center!"

"Okay," Pilot replied in a sly fashion

"Copy that," Jack called back with a mouth full of cookies

I was waiting for the radio commands and a call telling me what a magnificent job I have done. It never came. I got the authority to fire, this was my chance to show my skills. I am going to suceed f0r sure.

"Fire!" I yelled

"Fire?" Trent said frightened "I'm scared of fire!"

"There's a fire in the ship?" Jack asked

"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" Trent screamed in horror "EVERYONE STOP DROP AND ROLL!"

"Fire!" Pilot added scared "That means all the dynamite I brought will blow!"

"Everyone, calm down," I was angry "There is no fire. Just launch the torpedoes. Okay?"

The torps were fired with no response from my crew members.

"Torps in the water," I radioed to my superiors

"Copy that," they responded

Everything was going good so far. The torps are racing towards the dummy ship fleet and then I remembered the TNT Pilot added to the dummy torpedoes. The observers probably thought the dummy rounds had no explosives but, Pilot put in a ton.

"Abort mission!" I radioed "ABORT!"

I was too late. The torpedo detonated and it all went black.
