As the little Jamaica Jane whipped across the waves toward the three ships grappled together in the distance, Hunter could hear the sounds of men fighting hand to hand. He sat up straight, magnifying his vision to the maximum. However, he could not see any details that his hearing had not already identified.

“What is it?” Jane also peered at the distant ships, but of course he knew she could see even less. “What’s wrong?”

“The fighting has begun,” said Hunter. “I am worried that MC 2 will interfere with the fight and change the course of history. His presence and perhaps Rita’s could alter the behavior of the buccaneers.”

“We knew a fight was coming,” said Steve. “Weren’t you ready for this?”

“I anticipated it, of course.”

“Listen, Hunter,” said Jane. “Are we proceeding as quickly as possible?”

“Yes. I have the tack and the tiller at the optimum angles for speed under current conditions.” He quickly reappraised the direction of the wind to double-check.

“Then you are doing everything the Laws of Robotics require at the moment. Acknowledge your agreement.”

“Acknowledged.”

“And if you experience indecision or if you shut down, Steve and I will suffer even greater harm. Right?”

“Right.” Somewhat reassured, Hunter turned his attention back to the three ships ahead.
