A Pirate's Life for Me
The southern hemisphere of Mobius remained largely unexplored, as of the year 3235. People living in the countries south of a certain latitude were usually crooks, thieves, and other undesirable creatures who couldn’t make a living in the northern countries.
Oh. And pirates.
Pirates were still very much existent on Mobius. While usually they kept a low profile, they were still a considerable risk to merchants traveling in the southernmost reaches of the planet.
There was one single pirate crew--they weren‘t really pirates, they just posed as such because it was easier--who traveled in southern Mobius for a different reason. This crew was led by Metal Sonic and an unlikely bunch of teenagers. One traveled because she had absolutely nothing else to do, and would rather travel than be at her home. The others traveled because there was trouble in the air, trouble which came from a specific area in Southern Mobius, and they were going to try and remedy it.
The crew of the Silver Star had been sailing for eight months or so by the time this story begins. Those eight months had been very long and resulted in tensions between many of the members--they were all beginning to get on each others’ nerves.
However, they found relief in the fact that in only a few more weeks, they would arrive at their destination and reach an ultimatum.
And what an ultimatum that would be.
