He squinted. Was that a white hair?

//////////////////////////// The flagship of the Titans was now in the Stepstones, the newer crew taken onto the large ship so more experienced crew could be put on the new corsairs.

Uhtred'll bring the newer members up and lined up on deck. He'll get them to open up about previous service, what kind of fighting they've seen, the experiences they've had.

Ayallah arrives on deck wearing her skin tight leather armour, arakhs at her hip. She wears a sultry and dazzling smile.

Bert looked a little bored or perhaps it was just his eyes. He preferred to be doing something productive.

Uhtred looked them over and clasped his hands behind his back. The crew went about their duties, some stopping to eye the collection of mongrels collected on the main deck. "You've all signed up with us for gold. That's the straight and narrow of it. We're sell-sails, giving our ships and swords to whoever pays us. But in the Titans, one things different. We're a fleet. A proper fleet, not just a bunch of independent captains working together for the next score. We have discipline, and if you want to see another coin to rub between your fingers, you'll do, as, your, told. Right here, " Uhtred gestures and two of his men bring up a bound and gagged man" we have someone who tried to run from our last engagement, who thought he could commandeer one of MY boats and sail into the night without permission. Right now we're going to exercise that discipline. He knew the price, and so will you." Uhtred orders his men to bring out the rope and to bring the man to the fore.

The man screams in his gag as he's brought out. Ropes are prepared.

"Captain," Ayallah said as she looked in disgust at the bound man. "In my home we cut off cock of a man like this and stuff in his mouth before we kill. He proven he no man, and no man should die with cock."

"I'm sure. But in this outfit I'll give him a chance to prove himself, to show his resilience. Once chance is all I'll give. Either he hangs and I let you cut his cock off, here. Or..." Uhtred slaps the wooden railing with one hand "he shows some spine and tests himself against my ship"

A line is thrown over the front of the ship, and retrieved on the end so it loops under the ship. The man is taken to the front, where he tied onto the line. Uhtred asks offhandedly to his sailors as he gets ready on the back of the ship "How long since we scraped the barnacles clean?" One of his sailors considered "Must've been when we were in Gulltown under the young Grafton" Uhtred smiles "We'll do it fast then. Let him go!" The man is thrown over the front of the ship and Uhtred begins drawing the line fast as he can, silencing his quick scream as he is pulled underwater, dragging the man under the keel along the entire length of the ship. What comes up the other side is missing a arm, and has so many lacerations on its back that it seems to have been whipped over a hundred times. Uhtred pulls until the body is hanging behind the ship and leaves it there.
He turns and looks at the new recruits "That's what happens. Learn from it. Follow me, and you'll live rich. Be stupid, and you'll die poor. Dismissed to your duties."
