Looks like the ante has been upped....

1) The pirates now want ransom for the captain

2) Their buddies are now on the way to rescue them carrying human shields (more hostages)

3) Meanwhile, the captain tried to escape, jumped the lifeboat and made a swim for the warship, while the warship was asleep and didn't even try to rescue him. The pirates recaptured him.

What a joke!!!

What a mess this has turned into. Before those other pirates show up, I would rapidly bring this to an end. Surrender or die. We board in 5 minutes.
