"And you cannot move the ships." Jack chewed and thought and chewed some more. "A decoy, perhaps?"

[captainhornblower]

"Admiral Norrington is allowing me," Hornblower said, lowering his voice out of habit, "to take a cannon and a few men to the far side of the docks, under cover of night. I hope to make them think we have a second camp. Reinforcements."

It was a desperate bid, one that might not work, but damned if he couldn't help needing to try it.

"At the very least, it gives them another target. Forces them to divide their attention."

[all7seas]

"It'd work if they weren't so damned hot after our cargo. You might be better off bringing some empty crates, eh? Make 'em think there's a store of it there.

Load 'em up with something explode-y. Ooor train your guns on them if they come to investigate..."

[captainhornblower]

While Hornblower considered-- honestly considered-- this advice, another thought escaped him.

"What is it, I wonder, this cargo..."

[all7seas]

Jack shook his head. "Dunno. But there ARE some empty boxes in the bay of Beckett's Mum. The droids wouldn't let us peek into the full ones."

[captainhornblower]

"I don't want anything that could explode near that gun," he muttered, more to himself. "Not with the guncrew I'd have, too risky. If I had my division... Matthews, Styles..." But he shook his head very slightly to rid himself of the thought. Now was not the time.

"But on the opposite end of the docks. Warn our groups but rig it with a bit of a surprise if the Third Party gets too close..."

[all7seas]

"I'd lend more of my expertise on the ground, Captain, but I happen to be thoroughly bollocksed at present. Still. Not a HORRIBLE plan, as plans go."

[captainhornblower]

"Yes. Thank you, Captain Sparrow." The bread in his hands is forgotten. It's not hard to see how he might well forget to eat entirely if kept busy in battle.

"Of course, the question is... Can we spare the powder."

[all7seas]

"Spare the powder? Of COURSE you can't spare the powder! Find a bloody supercharged hero type with a brain that can blow things up and put them right to good use!"
