[ WP ] When the europeans discovered America they did n't colonize it . Instead they have been monitoring the Americans for centuries . Today , the first American ship reaches Europe .

“ An American Ship? ” Captain Jacque stared at the well dressed man before him. He brushed some dust off the coat of his suit, his hands coming dangerously close to the revolve at his hip. 
 
 “ You heard me right, Captain. An American Ship. ” 
 
 “ The Americans are barbarians. Can barely grow their own food. S ’ no possible way they could make a ship that could cross the Atlantic. ” 
 
 “ But they did. And right under our noses too. Now will you accept the contract or not? ” The man folded his hands behind his back. No doubt trying his hardest to appear calm. Shame the impatience in his voice gave him away. 
 
 “ 40 francs to sink this ‘ American' ship of yours? ” It wasn ’ t a bad deal, really. The barbarians were unlikely to have powerful guns, if they had any all. No, not a bad deal at all. 
 
 “ 40 francs for you to sail me out to *meet* the ship, Captain. I know how much you Sea Dogs love to blow things up, but I must ask you to refrain from such… explosive endeavors. We would like those men intact. There ’ s not much were gon na learn from a corpse. Especially one at the bottom of the ocean. ” 
 
 Jacque shrugged. Not as much fun, but safer. Much safer. “ Whatever you say. Doubt the boys ’ ll be too happy but hey, money ’ s money. When do you want to leave? ” 
 
 “ As soon as possible. They left from their coast three days ago. We don ’ t know when that ship will make it here. Or what their intentions are. ” Hopefully something bad. Would be a nice excuse to raid the ship. Probably wouldn ’ t be too much on there, but you never know. 
 
 “ Alright. We can head out in two days. ” 
 
 “ Good. ” The man adjusted his cuffs, before sauntering off. 
 
 Captain Jacque chuckled. An American Ship. He had heard of a lot of strange things during his time on the sea, but nothing as ridiculous as that. Things were going to get interesting around here, that ’ s for sure. And he was going to come out if it richer. He ’ d make sure of that.
