Lawrence walked onto the bridge, and the first officer, Gus, immediately came to greet him, with many crew members standing behind Gus, looking at their captain with a hint of anticipation.
Lawrence's gaze swept over his subordinates and friends who had followed him for many years. After a long moment, he took a light breath and a smile appeared on his face, "We can go home now. Set sail."
The first officer's expression visibly relaxed, but then he couldn't help asking, "What about the Homeloss?"
"The Homeloss will embark on a different journey," Lawrence nodded slightly, addressing everyone, "Captain Duncan will head south to take care of more important matters—he has ordered the Oak vessel to return to the regular routes of the civilized world as planned. We will first head to Cold Harbor to resupply and complete the purchasing orders, then return to Prand."
