Early measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease, but there's still work to do. A vaccine is under development with Emery overseeing the effort. Once it is complete it will need to be distributed to the people. In the meanwhile, additional attempts at warning others- including those in Imperial controlled areas- must continue.

Air Drop and Spreading the Word

A command to the Corsairs to educate each other and the civilians in the Lower Isles is all it takes to jumpstart the effort to contain the disease in Corsair controlled regions. While the outbreak is almost entirely contained in the Lower Isles, the Upper Isles are still at risk, and Corsair spies have observed possible signs of Upper Isles cases. The Corsairs cannot wait for the Empire to take notice of the problem, so Matthias leads an effort to warn the Upper Isles as well.

There are two main plans for educating the public in hostile territory:

Airdropped flyers. A Corsair airship over the Upper Isles would be the start of a full on aerial battle. Instead, airdrops must be carried out by those who can pilot Armors or those who can fly by other means. Act quickly and be ready to retreat when the Imperials send their own pilots after you.

Posting flyers and speaking to the public when the Imperials aren't watching. The Corsairs have posted flyers on walls in enemy territory before, but unless the walls are well covered, nothing will be as effective as word of mouth. If the opportunity presents itself, those brave enough might call on a crowd's attention and give a very quick speech about the disease.

Vaccination Development

Those who have experience in potions and medicine making are asked to to help with the vaccination development. Others might be asked to fetch materials, books in The Vault, or even volunteer themselves as the first to receive the vaccine.

Delivering the Vaccination

Corsair supply ships must be loaded and guarded on their way to distribution sites in the Lower Isles. While the Corsairs control the Lower Isles themselves, the Empire will try to make swift air strikes against any kind of Corsair supply ship they catch sight of.

In the Upper Isles, delivery is even harder. Small batches must be carried into Upper Isle towns and cities without drawing attention. There may also be a demand for treatment of the sick among the poorer citizens, who have overall been quicker to accept the Corsair's help despite the risk of the Empire discovering them.

Rumors will begin to spread in the Upper Isles about the good will of the Corsairs, and the names of the Old Gods are whispered a little louder.

"Correct. Expected opposing forces include active ether-influenced monstrosities of the Eternal Ocean, and the possibility of interception by Imperial forces once we're aloft."

"Have you faced many of those monstrosities before?" Rezo doesn't inquire about Imperial forces. Just about everyone in the Crimson Corsairs qualifies as having had (bad) experience with Imperials.

"A few times. I've been out trawling old battlefields, it happens just often enough that you're never quite as ready as you think you are. But it is survivable."

Rezo can't help but smile slightly, in a wry manner, at Natalia's phrasing. She sounds like a weary veteran giving moral support to the uncertain newbie. That might well be the dynamic, from her perspective.

"I'm sure they're not much worse than a mazoku," Rezo says. "But I'll be sure to stay on guard."

"Together, we certainly have the capability," Natalia agrees. "If that capability is needed, and if we can rise to the task, only time will tell."

She nods and starts loading. She's pretty fast at it. Some of her crew are irritated. She's a captain, she has people for this now-- namely them.

"Well? Let's not keep everyone else waiting."
