Ilona stood on deck talking to Sam Thatch and Nick about the state they were in. Things were not good.
After taking stock of what supplies were left on the ship, they all finally had to admit there was no way they would be able to make it to The Red Lands before they ran out of everything, water and food alike.
Sam would be giving Anja the orders to cut the rations back farther, and then he would be informing the men that their meals would be smaller. The three of them had decided together that they would keep it between themselves just how low the stores were and the fact they were going to run out. They didn't want to cause a panic. There was still a chance they'd come upon a ship and capture it.
