Stowaways

                                    We have illegal aliens on board.

                                    To make matters worse, in the eyes of the law they are considered stowaways. Depending on which country and/or port you embark from should determine the severity of the hopefully ensuing penalties. I say should because there are some mitigating circumstances. And provided of course, that the ‘alleged’ offenders are, in fact, apprehended.

                                    So far they have been successful in eluding capture. We have the finest equipment available to us, but even this advantage has not borne any fruit as The I.A.’s (Illegal Aliens) have been trained by the best masterminds of this century in what is now being touted as the latest and finest A.I.W.R.T.A.C. tactics.

A.I.W.R.T.A.C. (Artificial Intelligence With Regards To Avoiding Capture) is nothing new, but it seems that no matter which way we turn, our efforts have been thwarted.

                                    We find ourselves stymied at every turn when it comes to acquiring the latest technology for the detection and capture of our stowaways. We will be resorting to some older tried and true strategies in a very short order.

                                    To make things even more problematic, these I.A.’s are considered an Invasive Species as we are not sure of which port they hail from. And with most of the States that we have traveled through of late being “Open Carry” States, we are quite sure that they are both armed and dangerous.

                        The normal penalties for Stowaways usually include being deported back to the country of origin and/or up to a year in a federal prison.

                        Our “local” penalty is a little more severe.
