    The Score  

    The siren call of the open sea... 


    So ye want to be a pirate, eh? It’s not all drinkin’ rum and firin’ 
    pistols and countin’ yer doubloons, young pup. There’s lyin’ and 
    cheatin’, backstabbin’ and hoodwinkin’, bleedin’ and dyin’. And that 
    might just be from your own mates, see? There’s no tellin’ what ye 
    might run afoul of, once ye make land. The honest men can be just 
    as dangerous to a pirate as the crooked ones. And that’s if you 
    make land. The sea can be a harsh mistress. One minute she’s 
    poundin’ ya with 50-foot waves, the next yer becalmed for days, 
    bedeviled by your own thoughts and fightin’ with your mates. And 
    don’t even get me started on the nasty things what ain’t supposed 
    to exist. I’ve seen more than my fair share, I have. So you best 
    think twice before you decide that a pirate’s life is the life for you.
