Narrative

179.   The Synarchism was built in Whitehall, Hornbeak, by Geoffrey Gilles. It is the first ship that he has completed.
201.   Whitehall has been annexed by Ashby.
207.   Shorty Zollie is trying to gather up a group of people in Ashby for an expedition on the Synarchism, which Shorty Zollie has agreed to lead. The group about to board the Synarchism has decided that, rather than Shorty Zollie naming himself captain outright, the passengers will decide who their captain will be democratically. Win Aldis's shipmates have decided that he would make the best captain, though Walt Quinn is hurt by the decision. Win Aldis was designated captain of the Synarchism, which will depart Ashby shortly; he has never captained a ship before. Dulcy Zollie, Meridith Quinn, Faydra Gilles, Turner Gilles, Nahum Gilles, Ender Gilles, Lew Gilles, Garp Quinn, Libbie Gilles, Scotty Noland, Shelly Aldis, Welby Aldis, Shorty Zollie, Lark Gilles, Juli Aldis, Marguerite Gilles, Capt. Win Aldis, Yolanthe Aldis, Juli Gilles, Farand Gilles, Hannibal Gilles, Nickie Noland, Juli Gilles, Walt Quinn, Rhodia Quinn, Cybil Quinn, and Rocky Gilles have boarded the Synarchism from the port of Ashby, Hornbeak. The Synarchism, under command of Capt. Win Aldis, has left the harbor at Ashby, Hornbeak. The Synarchism is heading SE at full-speed. As an act of mutiny, Walt Quinn is going to attempt to murder Capt. Win Aldis, whose decision-making aboard the Synarchism has been seen by some passengers as reckless and potentially life-endangering. Walt Quinn attempted to murder Capt. Win Aldis as an act of mutiny, but failed. A punishment is now being decided for Walt Quinn and his conspirators in the failed mutiny attempt: Farand Gilles, Shorty Zollie, Nickie Noland, Ender Gilles, Lark Gilles, Juli Aldis, Scotty Noland, Juli Gilles, Shelly Aldis, Cybil Quinn, Rocky Gilles, and Dulcy Zollie. Since there are no nearby uninhabited islands on which the conspirators could be marooned, they will be hanged aboard the ship. Capt. Win Aldis ordered the hanging of his 36-year-old aunt Farand Gilles at sea aboard the Synarchism as capital punishment for a failed mutiny attempt in which Farand tried to murder Win. Capt.
