Black Sails XXVI

You can imagine the restraint it took for me not to let my people loose. But where does that leave us? So I will fight this thing rising up in me, eager to see more blood spilled today. And I will serve them by minding their future and doing the hard thing that will lead to the outcome desired by all of us.

You have no instinct towards earning for yourself a life more comfortable?

I don't. And had I that instinct, I would resist it with every inch of will I could muster. For that is the single most dangerous weapon they possess, the one they tempt. "Give us your submission, and we will give you the comfort you need." No, I can think of no measure of comfort worth that price.

There is no "your loss," "his loss,""my loss." This is not an either/or proposition. [...] But we must hold the line and stand together; we must. There's simply no alternative.

There are at least half a dozen routes that Rogers could choose to send Jack and the cache to meet the transport ship on the south coast. We can't afford to guess wrong.

Can't afford to guess? We can't afford not to guess.
