"We need every Captain we can get," had been the excuse her boss, the one who held her contract, made, before she pushed him to double her allotment of spoils.

She finally got them to settle down after killing the first one to cause trouble and tossing him over the side, promising the next time it would be every troublemaker involved in the next incident.
