Brenda Wirrit
The doctor is afraid.
The pirate is unconscious.
The kid doesn't seem to care.
Brenda has a sinking feeling that she's in charge of this group by default. She swallows that fear down, puts one leg up on a barrel and gestures with a chisel as she prepares to rally the troops.
"Pick her up and carry her with us." she instructs Nikko, before turning to Countless, and telling him
"They are exploding the town and ships. We are on an island. We do not hide or we are trapped. We have no place to run. You and your gun should come with us."
"There are many pieces. Parts, materials, damages. Too much for one. We all do our parts, follow the plan and build a strong ship!" she can't quite recall all the right words. Shipwright terms will have to do.
Brenda strides over to the unexploded cannonball, and struggles to pick it up with both hands.
"We must first prepare the workshop. An exploding workshop is unsuitable. We must stop the explosions. There are fine workers outside. They will come with us to the docks."And so, Brenda waddles her way out of the tavern with her heavy load, trusting Countless and Nikko to follow her. As Zell and Tristan prepare to face off against the Marines blocking her way to the ports, Brenda takes a deep breath and yells
"Make way for the cannonball!"
Brenda has no idea there's a marine officer in town also called 'the cannonball'. She's trying to stop anyone setting off the explosive she carries. Nonetheless, several mariens misinterpret, and spread apart watching the skies for the officer's airborne arrival, distracting them from the upcoming fight.
