"There lad! I see a small group of em! Should be enough. We go down togetha like ya said." You shrug. The Music Player Headset sounds, like a mighty gift, well a mighty luxury gift. A few years ago ya coulda gotten a whole island for somethin like that.
"Is that how the lads know so many shanties?" You ask as you approach the lad.
"That and mighty traditions like this, but I aint gonna lie some of em may be from a headset.' and ya look at it.
"That's the goofy thing under ya hat half the time!" You shout and he looks up at ya and grins
"Aye lad! It is!" He says
"I knew I saw that thing when I was adressin the crew a few times!"
"Aye ya did!" Jerah says hauling down fearlessly. So ya catch up. There is stable ground. The sun shines bright, so the flowers stick out and ya realize why it's a great man challenge instantly. It's hot. It's hotter than anything ya experienced. Jerah is already half way back up to his point then ya hear it
"AYA! Ropes hot. Ropes really hot." He says
"That rope is rated for the space ship!" Ya call back
"That it is, but it aint rated for the black. Fortunately, a great man has a great mind." He says pullin out a water sack and sprayin the rope which steams
"How is it not burned?" You ask, touching it realizing it is hotter than Jerah lets on, considering he just sprayed it down.
"How should I know? I'm a ship captain and privateer not a geologist, despite ya makin us all men o hats." Jerah says starting his climb. He has a point.
"Havin everyone be men o many hats is a good idea." Ya say and you take out one of the scanners ya have and do some readings on the volcano. They are strange. Then again, the black is a strange volcano. Strange as it may be it's ya home. Ya don't have anything to take a sample of it so ya start up.
"So long as everyone is also to be a sailor or marine too." He shouts back to you as you rapidly climb up behind.
"Aye!" Ya shout back as you climb over the top over taking him, and helping him up.
"Ya even climb fast. I thought I was a fast climber."
"Aye! Ya are. I just am what I am. C'mon let's round up my sons." You say and walk down to find them waiting on ya. The walk back is gonna be a short hike.
