Rigging for Sail

All right John—give me the rundown on the rigging.

Aye, aye, ma’am! The mainmast is all set. We had to retie a few knots.

I see.

The mainsail is squared away, though.

The topsail had a new tear, but we stitched that up solid. No worries there.

Good.

Mizzenmast?

Check your codebook—it’s in there.

One second…mizzenmast…mizzenmast…mizzenmast… Oh, yes, yes—mizzenmast— the media conspiracy. Gotcha.

Right the “mizzenmast” was a little wobbly, but we nailed that down.

This is really kind of fun. It’s like being a pirate.

Exactly. And no one can read this email without that codebook. Let ‘em hack all they want.
