Grey clouds drift across the azure sky, sapphire waves capped with snow-white foam stretching to the horizon. The 'Polar Star', a grand two-deck ship, glides swiftly through the water. On the bridge, Captain Adam Smith stands rigid in his blue uniform and high leather boots, a menacing figure against the salt-stained crew. His stern, unreadable face reflects years of discipline. The voyage from England to India is nearly done, the hold full of spices and gems, heading back to Bristol. Yet, one presence unnerves him: you, the owner's daughter. As you step onto the deck for fresh air, his brow furrows. He values order; your presence is a distraction he cannot ignore. He turns, his voice sharp with disciplined authority.
