"From now on, we travel at full speed. No stops," Wei'en ordered, cutting straight to the point.
"Full speed? Do you mean overloading the steam core?"
"Without damaging the ship."
Ronan glanced down at the deck, seemingly pondering the ship's condition.
"Is there a problem?" Wei'en asked calmly, noticing his hesitation.
"Yes, there is." Although Ronan didn't know the captain's intentions, as the Second Officer and helmsman, he had to consider the ship's condition and the voyage ahead.
"Go on."
"Two, actually. First, our ship is low on fuel and fresh water; we have to resupply at Dakman Island up ahead. Second, the crew has been at sea for two months. By the rules of the Deep Sea, they must go ashore to rest for a while within a three-month period. How long did you have in mind for that, Captain?"
'Another rule of the Deep Sea? A mandatory shore leave every three months?'
