I assume that it is not common practice for officers to be....assaulted in their beds?

This chaos is unacceptable.

Sleepwalking is hardly a punishable offense, but I believe a reprimand of some sort is in order. Perhaps a lock should be placed on the outside of his door.

I had intended to make this announcement sooner, but unforeseen technical difficulties involving my issued difference engine made that impossible.

I am Lieutenant Commander Javert, and will serve on the Victoria II as quartermaster until further notice.

Though I am unsure of how much there will be for me to do at a spectacle like this. The Silvana is providing security; what sort of country is this, that a renegade lawless ship under no authority is contracted to keep the peace? Is that not the job of the Ivonan military?

No matter. I trust that the crew will conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the pride of the Ivonan military. All eyes are upon us. Any brawls, drunken escapades, or other disorderly behavior by a soldier will result in the perpetrator being confined to the ship until this race is over. The offending soldier will also be placed on half rations. We will not sink to the level of these pirates.

I fail to see the purpose of this race. There is a great deal of posturing on either side. I admit, seeing the Vohemaro pirates beaten and humiliated at their own game is a satisfying thought, but it is a diversion, nothing more.
