Cap'n - I had a stunning realization! Painstakingly crafting every last piece of equipment and machinery makes no sense, if we can just buy stuff on the market! Trading, ho! But to trade, we need to build trust and think faster than our competition. So instead of a legion of things, we developed just a single one to rule them all: we call it X-Grog! Not only can we sell it on the Black Market for a good profit, but also use it to break the ice with the people of Jack's Town. When drunk enough, they should be more trusting towards us!
