I've got one more update with them in it explaining why the Dominican Republic signed the peace treaty.
Ramón Martinez looked out across the clear blue waters of the Caribbean. It was going to be a wonderful day. The newest, and only, ship in the Grand Fleet of the Republic was going on its first trial run.
Ok so the thing was made of wood, it was hard to import enough steel to actually build a car let alone a ship. It looked so marvelous berthed.
As he prepared to turn and cut the ribbon so the crew could board the ship he noticed that sail was just peaking over the horizon. That was odd he hadn’t seen a sailboat in ages.
For certain not one that large.
The Hairs along the back of his neck started to stand up and he became nervous. He quickly cut the ribbon and the crew hurried aboard.
Captain Montezuma stopped briefly to salute Martinez before rushing aboard and barking orders.
Ramón turned back to the sail fixated on the steadily revealing ship it was attached to. He could just begin to see the main sails when a flag was raised and he noticed with dread that it was a pirate flag.
“Impossible,” A nearby man exclaimed.
There hadn’t been real pirates for centuries. Of course there was always story’s of ghost pirates but who believed those, Ramon thought.
As the ship neared he noticed with even more fear that the sails of said ship were all black and contained man holes. Even so it seemed to close rather fast. In but a moment the ship turned to present its broadside and opened fire.
Shots blasted into the “Segador” as the ship had been named. The crew tried valiantly to shoot back but they hadn’t loaded any gunpowder on board.
Within moments most of the ship lay in ruins and the crew was swimming back to shore.
The attacking ship stopped its advance and as the Dominican’s watched its crew jumped overboard and into the ocean.
“What’s the point of that,” A bystander asked. Ramon had a sinking feeling he knew that it was simply a scare tactic and it was going to work. They all watched in horror as they could now see the attackers calmly walking under the water advancing towards the shore.
As the attackers emerged from the water the Dominican’s started to turn and flee in terror. All but one of the attackers, were dressed in what appeared to be Pirate costumes.
The one that wasn’t looked right at Ramon and with a gleam in his soulless black eyes said, “We’re here to discuss a peace treaty between México and your country. Do you have somewhere we can talk? It’s hot out here with this blasted sun and everything.”
Twenty minutes later the peace treaty was signed and the Pirates and Greven happily left.
P.S. If anybody can guess which Pirate that flag belongs you get 10 points. 10 extra points if you can tell me the one thing that made taht pirate so rememberd.
PM me so that everybody can have a shot. For any that don't know I'll post the answers by Friday.

Cárdenas awoke to klaxon’s wailing and the sounds of men scampering around in panic. He dressed quickly and an aide came into his room.
“We must hurry El Presidente. We’ve been hit with a torpedo and our ship is sinking,” He jabbered to Cárdenas.
Cárdenas followed the aide into the hallway. As they stepped out he noticed that there was some water on the deck making it kinda slick.
They rushed as safely as possible till the reached the outside. Cárdenas was met by a few marines, Greven, Alexandria and El Basto. The marines ushered the quartet to the nearest life boat.
The sound of an explosion from the stern made Cárdenas flinch. He heard shouting and the exchange of gunfire. El Basto grabbed hold of Cárdenas and the dove into the lifeboat. The marines Greven and Alexandria began lowering the boat as the marines turned towards the sounds of gunfire and headed off.
The Life boat had just reached the water when Cárdenas looked up and saw Greven fall off the side of the ship in a hail of gunfire. He splashed nearby causing water to land on Cárdenas. A moment later Alexandria was splashing down. Cárdenas noticed a bullet hole in her cheek as she began to sink under the waves.
El Basto tapped Cárdenas on the shoulder and said, “I have something to tell you, Sir.”
Cárdenas was worried but replied, “What man? Tell me some good news.”
El Basto grinned, “I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.”
Cárdenas frowned and asked, “What does that have to do with anything?”
“Nothing,” Greven replied as he and Alexandria climbed back aboard. “But we wanted to tell you as a Group.”
“Tell me what,” He asked frustrated.
“April Fools,” They Replied.

Somewhere Dark and Damp:
"Um sir now where are we," The Corperal asked his commander.
The man turned and fronwned. Then he realized in the darkness nobody could see that gesture.
"Shut up or you'll wake up the dead," He replied instead.
A light flicked on at the end of the hallway bathing the covert team in light. Peachtree was licking his lips and stared at them.
"Too Late," He replied and dove towards them.
The Corperal screamed and dropped the bucket of paint.
