How to Properly Be a Stowaway

Now you might find yourself wondering how I managed to stay alive hiding on a boat of the enemy.  Or you might find yourself wondering why I cared to save Morley, or you may find yourself wondering if you really like the color blue or if its just a passing fad.  Regardless! Its actually quite easy to hide amongst large groups of people, even on a ship full of soldiers.  You see they still need greasy dirty people to look after the machines, or work the pumps, or take care of waste, so you just have to pretend to be someone greasy or dirty (pretend the optimum word here folks I'm a cleanliness is the path to righteousness kind of guy).

So I just put on some crappy overalls someone left in a locker, smudged stuff on my face and looked intently at machine parts anytime a soldier came looking. Watching the other dirty workers on the ship, I swear we were all just infiltrating it.  Sadly it didn't seem to stop us getting further to sea. I really had to wonder what we were even doing at sea.  Its not like the rebellion if it even existed any longer had ships themselves, and from the large cannons I saw below decks, the ship I was on could bring to bear some fairly hefty ordinance (I noted the locations should an accident need to take place to sink the ship, you know just in case). There were sections that were being patrolled more than others, I figured thats where they were holding Morley.  If he was even on the ship at all.  I just had Leland's word he was in the camp, and then a crazy person's word he was on the ship.  Not exactly the most trustworthy sources of information!

I could see sadly this was going to have to be a Lorentino plan kind of situation to find out what was beyond where the guards were hiding.  Though for the life of me I couldn't exactly figure out a good way in! Its not like I knew anything about a ship to bluff my way past some guards, and while the passing soldiers on the boat might not notice me when I'm in the engine areas, I'm sure they would should I try and get inside the normal way.  So I had to be devious.  I had to think of something that no one would ever expect.  So I was totally screwed you could imagine.
