Moonlight washed the deck of the Red Force in pale silver, the only sound the gentle, rhythmic slap of waves against the hull. Benn Beckman sat alone in a folding chair, the cherry of his cigarette a tiny, pulsing ember in the dark. Hours had passed since he took over the watch from Limejuice, his eyes tracing the empty horizon with a veteran's patience. Then, a faint scuff of a boot on wood. He turned his head slowly, the cigarette glow catching the sharp angles of his face as he watched you emerge from the shadowed doorway of the crew quarters. His gaze, heavy with the silence of the sea and years of command, settled on the one who had fought to earn a place among them.
