• 797
• Alvero
  ...! Player, is that you? You've come all the way here too...?

• 798
• How will you respond?

• 799
• Why are you here?

• 800
• You've got the wrong person.

• 801
• Alvero
  What are you talking about?! It's you, Player, it has to be!

• 802
• Alvero
  The Gama fleet has been in port here for so long...
  you've caught up with us!

• 803
• Voice
  Who's this? A friend of yours?

• 804
• Alvero
  Ah, Admiral Gama...

• 805
• Gama
  Oh, so you are Player.
  Duke Braganza has told me much about you.
  I am the Admiral of the expedition to India, Vasco de Gama.

• 806
• Alvero
  I have something to discuss with you, Admiral.

• 807
• Gama
  Yes?

• 808
• Alvero
  The job you want me to undertake...
  could I possibly do it using Player's ship? The two of us together?

• 809
• How will you respond?

• 810
• What job is this?

• 811
• I don't have time to hear it

• 812
• Alvero
  Ah, sorry...
  I'm running on ahead again...!

• 813
• Alvero
  Sorry, Player, I didn't explain it to you yet, did I.
  The man who rules this region is called Koritan, a man with connections to pirates around here too.
  He won't allow ships to leave without first paying tribute, and it's holding us back.
  He just wants too much! From us, the Gama fleet!

• 814
• Gama
  Mind yourself, Alvero.
  He is simply testing us to see how we will react to him.
  Do not aggravate the situation.

• 815
• Alvero
  I know, Admiral...
  but simply giving in to his demands doesn't seem right to me either.
  I know your motto is to do everything straight-forward, as a knight in the service of the king, but still...

• 816
• Gama
  Sometimes, Alvero, that which can look foolish at a glance is actually the best for everyone.

• 817
• Alvero
  I guess so...
  but never-the-less, we need people to procure the offerings, correct? Player, can we use your ship, then?

• 818
• Alvero
  (...Come on! If we make a good impression here we'll get our chance to make a fortune in India!)

• 819
• How will you respond?

• 820
• I'll help.

• 821
• I don't have time, sorry.

• 822
• Alvero
  Okay...
  I think you're passing up a great opportunity, though.
  Come and see me if you find the time, okay?

• 823
• Gama
  Very well then.
  I shall leave the procurement to you.
  Talk to the officer there for more details on the mission.

• 824
• Gama
  He is simply testing us to see how we will react to him.
  Do not aggravate the situation.

• 825
• Alvero
  We don't have enough ships to carry gemstones.
  Could you go in your ship and buy some?

• 826
• Gama
  Okay...
  I think you're passing up a great opportunity, though.
  Come and see me if you find the time, okay?

• 827
• Alvero
  Admiral, this is Player.

• 828
• Officer
  This really is quite bothersome.
  We weren't held up like this during our previous voyage.

• 829
• Officer
  Buy 20 ivory tusks and bring them to Admiral Gama.
  Here's the money to make the purchase.
  There isn't much of it, so use it wisely.

• 830
• Officer
  Well then, Player, Alvero, off you go.

• 831
• Gama
  I'm counting on you, Player, Alvero.

• 832
• Officer
  You buy 20 ivory tusks and bring them to Admiral Gama.

• 833
• Gama
  Have you bought them already?

• 834
• Alvero
  Okay, Player.
  Let's give the goods to Gama.

• 835
• How will you respond?

• 836
• Sure.

• 837
• We haven't finished making the purchase yet.

• 838
• Alvero
  Very well...
  just wait a little longer, Mr.
  Gama.

• 839
• Gama
  The other officers are starting to return.
  Let's be quick!

• 840
• Handed over the ivory tusks!

• 841
• Gama
  Excellent work, Player, Alvero.
  I'm going now to negotiate with Koritan.
  You two, come with me.

• 842
• Koritan
  Well, do you have the offerings? Wow! This is far more than I asked for! Are you sure you can afford this much?

• 843
• Gama
  Of course...
  but I would ask for one favour in exchange for all of this.

• 844
• Koritan
  A favour...?

• 845
• Gama
  We are intending on starting a regular spice run.
  Other countries are going to start sending their fleets to take over that new shipping lane.
  Therefore, I humbly request that you, glorious Koritan, use your pirate connections...

• 846
• Koritan
  ...to hold off this advance.

• 847
• Gama
  ...That is my request.

• 848
• Koritan
  Very well, Admiral Gama.
  I see what you are thinking.
  I shall allow you passage to India.
  The Portuguese may use the route freely from now on, too.

• 849
• Gama
  Thank you very much.

• 850
• Alvero
  ......

• 851
• Gama
  What is the matter, Alvero? Surprised to see a "knight of the realm" doing shady deals with heathens?

• 852
• Alvero
  ...I admit, I was surprised.
  I never expected to hear you say anything like that...

• 853
• Gama
  Portugal could rise or fall depending on our mission.
  We can't afford to keep our hands clean, I'm afraid.
  For the sake of our country I will do whatever it takes, even if that means placing a foot off the path of a true knight.
  The reason I brought you two along with me was to show you my determination, so that you will continue to help me in the future.

• 854
• Alvero
  ...Hold on.
  So you want me and Player to...?

• 855
• Gama
  Play a more prominent role, yes.
  Meeting with Player here has proven beneficial indeed, an excellent sailor, and your skills as a merchant are wasted scrubbing decks, Alvero.
  I'm going to give you full missions and have you work directly for me from now on.

• 856
• Alvero
  Yes...! Finally, I've been acknowledged.
  This is all thanks to you.

• 857
• Gama
  Well then, Player.
  I shall call you to India soon.
  Please look forward to it.

• 858
• And this was how the second Gama fleet, thanks to the deeds of Player and Alvero, escaped from languishing in Mozambique and was able to continue its voyage.

• 22063
• Once they arrived at the town of Mozambique along the east coast of Africa, Player heard a familiar voice.
  It belonged to none other than Alvero, who was supposed to be on his way to India, and Admiral Vasco da Gama.

• 22064
• In order to use India's shipping lanes, they had been ordered to pay tribute to the ruler of this area, Koritan.
  This enraged Alvero, who considered Koritan to be taking advantage of them.
  However, Gama rebuked him, saying that such an issue was not worth starting a war over.

• 22065
• Player was asked by Alvero to take on a mission together.

• 22066
• The mission was to purchase 20 ivory tusks.

• 22067
• Player and Alvero returned safely with the ivory.
  Gama accompanied them and together they went to make the deal with Koritan.

• 22068
• Koritan was pleased to receive such a grand gift, which was much larger than he was expecting.
  Gama suddenly included a demand before handing over the tribute.
  He asked that the pirates under Koritan's command interfere with any other countries' fleets that might try to approach India.

• 22069
• Alvero greatly respected Gama, but he could not hide the shock at seeing his hero engage in underhanded dealings with such heathens.
  However, Gama explained that the prosperity of their country depended on this mission and that they could not afford to worry about honour and integrity.
  Then, after having negotiated in front of Player and Alvero, he revealed that the truth was that he wanted him to work as his right hand man in India.
  Alvero was thrilled to finally be entrusted with something big after spending his days swabbing the deck.
  Gama promised that he would invite Player to India soon and then he took his fleet out towards India.
