Re: The Launches

Jamie is a piper, as was his father, and his father's father before him. It has been his calling for as long as he can remember. And while there are times the piping is joyous, too often, it is to remember the dead. He has asked for a replacement for his own bagpipes, so that he might send those who perished off to their final resting place - as he would have for his clan in Scotland.

He stands and listens to the eulogy solemnly. Once he has gotten the signal to do so, he steps forward and inflates the pipes, then begins to play.

There are two songs - one, a melody that Jamie has heard and played before. The other is a tune that is new to him, but not necessarily to the other crew. He hopes he can do it justice. It's the least he can offer to those who have lost their lives - and those who have been left behind.
