• Gordon
  Welcome back, Player.
  It is good to know Frederik has agreed to help.
  Miss Liza is out on a mission right now but she said you should go speak to Thomas Gresham, the Finance Secretary...

• 742
• Frederik
  I see, talking to someone who knows the kind of damage a pirate can cause will make things go faster.

• 743
• Gordon
  I believe Gresham's mansion is near the Square at Plymouth...

• 744
• Frederik
  Player, to Plymouth!

• 745
• Gordon
  Gresham the Finance Secretary's Estate should be in Plymouth.

• 746
• Henchman
  Player back quickly as usual!

• 747
• Seafarer
  Gresham's Estate? It's the really nice mansion facing the Square, everyone knows that!

• 748
• Thomas
  Can I help you?

• 749
• Frederik
  Allow me to introduce myself.
  I am Frederik van Meeteren, Vice Commander of the private navy called the Sea Brigade.

• 750
• Thomas
  Yes, I've heard that the Sea Brigade is part of the independence movement in the Netherlands...
  and who might you be?

• 751
• Frederik
  This is my friend, Player.

• 752
• Thomas
  Player...
  Player...
  I've heard this name before...
  Oh! You're the one that rescued that merchant ship in the North Sea.
  I may help you depending on what your needs are.

• 753
• Frederik
  We have a proposal which we would like to make directly to Her Majesty.

• 754
• Thomas
  To Her Majesty...

• 755
• Frederik
  Hey, we still haven't told the Finance Secretary the details, Player!

• 756
• Frederik
  England's merchant ships are suffering greatly from constant pirate attacks.
  On the other hand, the Sea Brigade needs supply ports it can rely on.
  If the two were to form an alliance, the Sea Brigade can help England protect her waters and the Sea Brigade gets its much needed supply ports.

• 757
• Thomas
  Hmm...
  this is interesting...

• 758
• Frederik
  There is a benefit for both sides...

• 759
• Thomas
  I know what Player is capable of but I'm still not sure if I can trust the latter...
  I'm going to need to test your capabilities.
  Can you go to the Company House in London and bring me the financial statement from there? I need it within 15 days.

• 760
• Frederik
  It would be my pleasure, sir.

• 761
• Thomas
  15 days.
  I want those statements in 15 days.

• 762
• Frederik
  It looks like this might work.
  Player, I didn't realize you were so famous! I don't think I could have made that much progress if I was alone, ha ha ha!

• 763
• Merchant
  May I help you?

• 764
• Frederik
  Thomas sent me to pick up the financial statements.

• 765
• Merchant
  One moment sir...
  here you are.

• 766
• Frederik
  Thank you.
  That was pretty easy.
  Is it okay for you to just hand this over?

• 767
• Merchant
  Well, we all know the person you're with.
  Player's actions in the North Sea ship rescue was very well received here.
  No one will ever forget that.
  If Player says master Thomas made this request, we know it to be true.

• 768
• Frederik
  I see! We'll make sure this gets to Thomas.
  Let's go, Player.

• 769
• You received the financial statements!

• 770
• Merchant
  I thought we were done for...

• 771
• Frederik
  I owe you another one.
  Player, you're really good at this.

• 772
• Thomas
  You've returned...
  you have successfully brought me the documents I asked for but didn't meet the deadline.
  Why is that? What kind of Vice Commander are you?

• 773
• Frederik
  Well, it...
  wasn't entirely my fault...

• 774
• Thomas
  A sailor who cannot be punctual is hopeless.
  Don't you forget it! Player, thank you for your efforts.
  I'm very impressed with you.
  I have a gift for you, please accept it.

• 775
• Thomas
  Hmm...
  you don't seem to have enough space.
  Come back again when you have reduced your load.

• 776
• Thomas
  I will speak to Her Majesty regarding the alliance with the Sea Brigade.
  I'll notify you once a decision is made.

• 777
• Frederik
  Thank you sir...

• 778
• Thomas
  These are the documents I was expecting.
  You delivered them before the deadline as well.
  Impressive, Player.

• 779
• Frederik
  Player? What about me?

• 780
• Thomas
  Player, I'm very impressed with you.
  I have a gift for you, please accept it.

• 781
• Thomas
  I will speak to Her Majesty regarding the alliance with the Sea Brigade.
  I'll notify you once a decision is made.

• 782
• Thomas
  Player, did you did you sort out your inventory?

• 783
• Thomas
  Hmm...
  you still don't have enough room available.

• 784
• Thomas
  Here, take this.

• 785
• Thomas
  I shall speak to Her Majesty regarding the alliance with the Sea Brigade.
  I will inform you when we have an answer.

• 786
• Thomas
  It will take a few days before we have a response.
  Stay put until then.

• 787
• Frederik
  This is all very good.
  I'll go do a little business at the market while we wait for the response.

• 788
• Frederik
  I'm going back to work.
  Cheers!

• 789
• Port Official
  Player, Thomas Gresham is waiting for you at his Estate in Plymouth.

• 790
• Frederik
  I've been summoned as well!

• 791
• Thomas
  Sorry to keep you waiting.
  The plan for England to ally with the Sea Brigade was well received by Her Majesty.
  In fact, Her Majesty wants to speak directly with the commander.

• 792
• Frederik
  This is excellent news, sir.
  Let's start with the meeting then!

• 793
• Thomas
  One thing at a time.
  Her Majesty wants to talk with the commander of the Sea Brigade.
  I want you to go get your commander.

• 794
• Frederik
  I'm afraid the Sea Brigade is currently in various parts of Africa.
  To look for the commander would be a dangerous task.

• 795
• Thomas
  This is a high priority issue which affects the our nation's future.
  If you encounter any ships that threaten the success of your mission, you are free to sink them as you see fit.

• 796
• Frederik
  Sink them?

• 797
• Thomas
  Her Majesty's words.

• 798
• Frederik
  Her Majesty certainly seems to know how to use her power.
  In that case, I would like to take Captain Liza Middleton along for our journey...

• 799
• Thomas
  Middleton...
  the younger sister of the accused.
  Hmm...
  this may not go well with Count Killingrew.

• 800
• Frederik
  Her skills as a sailor are unmatched.
  This mission is a national priority...

• 801
• Thomas
  Yes, you are right.
  I shall approve for you to take Liza Middleton.
  Take her with you!

• 802
• Frederik
  Player, go tell Liza that we're going to have a meeting with Her Majesty.
  She might be back at her mansion by now.

• 803
• Thomas
  What are you doing here? You still haven't left with Liza Middleton to find the commander of the Sea Brigade?

• 804
• Frederik
  Let's go tell Liza that we're going to be meeting with Her Majesty.

• 805
• Liza
  Thank you Player and Frederik.
  I heard everything.
  We'll get an audience once we bring the Sea Brigade!

• 806
• Frederik
  It's going to be a long journey.
  We don't know where commander Egmont is.
  Also, this news should have reached Killingrew by now.
  He's sure to contact the Duke of Alba in order to thwart our plan.

• 807
• Liza
  The English navy will regain its strength once it has joined forces with the Sea Brigade.
  He's definitely going to try and interfere.

• 808
• Gordon
  The Sea Brigade is probably still out there looking for a supply port...

• 809
• Henchman
  Sailing into such dangerous waters...
  there's no limit to their bravery!

• 810
• Frederik
  Wait a moment.

• 811
• Frederik
  The Sea Brigade was last seen leaving Cabo Verde and heading for Luanda...
  Okay Player, our destination is Luanda.
  Set sail for Luanda!

• 812
• Frederik
  Okay Player, we're setting sail for Luanda!

• 813
• Liza
  I'll do what I can to convince them.

• 814
• Gordon
  We'll have to start by going to Luanda first.
  Let's go, Player!

• 815
• Liza
  ...
  How many years has it been since I was at sea together with you?

• 816
• Frederik
  It's been a while...

• 817
• Liza
  I first met you when we were at sea...
  I was with my brother, playing with our friends.
  Our ship was destroyed and our friends were swallowed in the waves...
  you appeared out of those waves and saved me that day...

• 818
• Frederik
  That was all a very long time ago...

• 819
• Frederik
  Destroy anyone who dares to get in our way!

• 820
• Spanish Navy Soldier
  That ship...
  hey, stop the ship!

• 821
• Frederik
  Here they come...

• 822
• You received some gold bullion!

• 823
• Spanish Navy Soldier
  Turn them into flotsam!

• 824
• Frederik
  We have a privateering permit issued by Her Majesty that says we can attack anyone we like.

• 825
• Liza
  Freddy, we'll make their cargo a gift to Her Majesty.

• 826
• Frederik
  The ship is loaded with gold bullion...
  so the people of the Netherlands pay heavy taxes while the Spanish crown collects it...

• 827
• You received some gold bullion!

• 828
• Gordon
  We've finally arrived.
  Let's look for the Sailors of the Sea Brigade!

• 829
• Sea Brigade Soldier
  Frederik, what are you doing here with all of these people?

• 830
• Frederik
  Oh, I've just come here to give the Sea Brigade a little bit of good news.
  Player, you go ahead.

• 831
• How will you respond?

• 832
• We want you to work together with England.

• 833
• I don't have any news in particular.

• 834
• Frederik
  Yes you do!

• 835
• Sea Brigade Soldier
  Work with England...
  hmm...
  it is not a bad idea.
  Commander Egmont is sure to agree.
  The commander went out to a town located further south.
  He went out searching for a port we can use in our battles.

• 836
• Frederik
  Player and Liza, let's go! If we don't move quickly, Killingrew will destroy the rest of the navy.

• 837
• Sea Brigade Soldier
  Wait a moment, Frederik! We have located a letter written by Killingrew addressed to the Duke of Alba.
  It was in the wreckage of a Spanish ship we sunk.

• 838
• Frederik
  That is great news! We can use it as evidence for the spy's testimony.

• 839
• Frederik
  Now all that's left is to persuade Egmont.
  Player, let's head to the town in the south where Egmont is!

• 840
• Sea Brigade Soldier
  The commander went to a town located even further south.

• 841
• Frederik
  Now we just need to persuade Egmont.
  Let's go!

• 842
• Liza
  The commander of the Sea Brigade is not in this town.
  Let's go.

• 843
• Gordon
  You really need a large port for a large fleet.
  Let's head to the town in the south to find the commander of the Sea Brigade.

• 844
• Gordon
  There's a really nice warship docked in this port!

• 845
• Frederik
  Egmont has to be in this town.

• 846
• Frederik
  There he is!

• 847
• Frederik
  Where do you think you're going? We finally found Egmont.

• 848
• Frederik
  Liza and Player, let me introduce you to Egmont, the commander of the Sea Brigade.

• 849
• Liza
  Liza Middleton, captain in the English navy...
  I must apologize to you about the transport ship...

• 850
• Egmont
  You must be the tomboy that Frederik is always talking about.
  Player, you look like a fine sailor.

• 851
• Liza
  We've done a terrible thing...

• 852
• Egmont
  What's done is done, let's not let these things linger.
  I'm more interested in the future, not the past.
  Her Majesty's idea of Sea Brigade working with England is a great one.
  Let's go to England.

• 853
• Liza
  Thank you, Egmont.

• 854
• Frederik
  Egmont, let's prepare to set sail immediately.

• 855
• Egmont
  Yes, we will show the people of England what we can do.

• 856
• Frederik
  Okay, let's go back to the ocean!

• 857
• Liza
  This is it...
  this is the start of a new beginning...

• 858
• Gordon
  Miss Liza...

• 26063
• Back in London, Gordon had been waiting for Player with a message from Liza.
  She had said to first try and convince the Finance Secretary, Thomas Gresham.
  Player and Frederik immediately set out for the Finance Secretary's mansion in Plymouth.

• 26064
• The two of them recommended to the Finance Secretary Thomas that the English Navy and the Sea Brigade form an alliance.
  Thomas showed interest in the idea, but said that he wished to test the abilities of the pair first.
  Finance Secretary Thomas requested that they go to the company district in London and bring back the financial statements from there within the allotted time.

• 26065
• The London merchant did not suspect anything and handed over the financial statements to the pair.
  Frederik asked whether it was okay to trust somebody like that even though they had never met.
  The merchant immediately replied that he had no reason to doubt the person that had saved his life.
  It turned out that this merchant was on board the merchant ship that Player had rescued.

• 26066
• After hearing of Player's deeds, Frederik was once again impressed.
  With the financial statements in hand, the two of them went to return them to Finance Secretary Thomas in Plymouth.

• 26067
• By successfully bringing back the financial statements, Thomas recognised the ability of them both.
  He then promised to speak to the Queen about England and the Brigade forming an alliance.

• 26068
• Since it would take several days to receive a response from the Queen, Player left Frederik for the time being and waited for the day when they would be summoned.

• 26069
• Several days later, Finance Secretary Thomas summoned Player to Plymouth.

• 26070
• Frederik was already waiting at the mansion.
  Finance Secretary Thomas informed them that the Queen was interested in the plan to form an alliance with the Sea Brigade.
  Then, the two of them were ordered to bring the commander of the Sea Brigade to London.
  These were the direct orders of the Queen and they had her permission to sink any ships that stood in their way.
  Player and Frederik hurried to the Middleton mansion in order to tell Liza the news.

• 26071
• Liza was pleased upon hearing that she might have a chance to have an audience with the Queen.
  However, Frederik warned them that in addition to not knowing where the commander was, Killingrew had leaked word of the mission to the Duke of Alba, meaning that they might interfere with their efforts.

• 26072
• For the time being, the group decided to go to Luanda, where there was a chance that members of the Sea Brigade still remained.

• 26073
• Frederik said that anybody who stood in their way was to be attacked immediately.

• 26074
• Player and the others sunk the Spanish ship patrolling the town's coastal waters and arrived in Luanda.
  They then began looking for members of the Sea Brigade within town.

• 26075
• There were still some members of the Sea Brigade in the town.
  However, their Commander Egmont had already left and gone further south.
  The soldiers produced from their spoils taken in a fight with the Spanish a letter from Killingrew to the Duke of Alba and gave it to the group.
  With further evidence that contradicted the spy's testimony, Player and the others sailed south in order to find Commander Egmont.

• 26076
• Gordon spotted a ship anchored in the port at Cape.
  Confident that it belonged to Egmont, they began searching the town.

• 26077
• Finally, Player and the others found Commander Egmont of the Sea Brigade.
  Liza apologised for sinking the transport ships, but Egmont said that they needed to concentrate on the future, not the past, and agreed to the alliance with the English navy.
  And so he went together with Player and the rest of the group to the Royal Palace in London.
