    It's a pacific picket line on-board the HMS Games. Having learned of Telltale Games’ bankruptcy from the Merchant, Aubrey combats her crew as they protest her own 'crunch culture' on-board.

    As Aubrey struggles with the apparent bumping off of Maurizio Mario by her father, the crew finds a stowaway on-board; a wannabe game designer who, not knowing about the rebellious nature of the HMSG, thinks the ship is a clear shot at reaching Mr Nintendo. What will the crew do about this abrasive, hopeful young man who has trespassed on their ship on misunderstood terms?
