Forced to retreat

After two tough months of chasing, arguing, and ramming, the Thunder sat still, burning through most of its supply of fuel. The Sea Shepherd crew sent five members in a small skiff with messages in bottles written in Bahasa for the Thunder’s crew to read. The note said, “We have no intentions of putting you into trouble. We should work together.” However, the men on the ship remained stubborn and threw back a round metal tube that hit one of the five men, forcing them back to a retreat. What did they have to resort to in order to end this?

The day roles were reversed

Unexpectedly, a call for SOS came at around 6:39 one morning. The Thunder’s captain was on the radio, pleading for help because the ship was fast sinking. The officers were caught off-guard as there were no signs of a collision. The distress call came out of nowhere. Nonetheless, the Sea Shepherd’s two captains answered to the call and asked their men to change into uniform as this suddenly became a rescue operation.
