[REVIEW] The Black Ship - Chapter 47 Part 5 & 6

He is another great review/overview by YouTuber @Soundwave113.

Soundwave113 has a knack for highlighting details I might have missed, while also linking past events in previous chapters and offering different perspectives on the story.

I hope this adds to your own thoughts and helps others (like me) fully grasp everything that’s going on!

Allowed myself time to digest this review and re-listen a few times. The review summarizes the chapters well enough, though I disagreed with a few things stated that are probably more opinion than the intent of the author. That also would be just my opinion though. Part 5, The Prince argues to maintain the moral high ground in the succession conflict. Offering a briefing from Clara, he list the easily justifiable reward request before stating the most likely to be resisted knowing they are above what most will find acceptable. Just like his sister once described, he allows the protest to be voiced and permits the nobles and military to accommodate his reward request by suggesting acceptable increases and elevations while avoiding insult and respecting his wishes. This forces the nobles and military alike into acknowledging Wyatt Staples, and the prince further admonishes those in opposition that anything unsettled by this might be addressed by Wyatt Staples personally in a duel of honor challenge, knowing they have just seen the ferocity he is capable of in combat. Part 6 of the review I was in similar agreement with. Wyatt and Rochelle have common ground to understand each other better. I think the princess has plans for all the composter pilots, possibly once they demonstrate sufficient loyalty, they could become squadron leaders themselves, furthering the accomplishments Wyatt has trained them to achieve within all the pilots on Noirnavio. Maybe a few Composter Pilots will become the supplicants of Wyatt that he can depend upon because they do not seek the position for glory or honor but do seem to concern themselves with his welfare. Jincho is finally getting the recognition he desires, so rightfully is overjoyed. This stirs the child within us and joys we remember fondly. While Wyatt struggles with fainting, we have learned that he is gaining greater control over himself, maybe he will eventually find strength to just have no reaction, but would we really enjoy these parts as much then? Wyatt and Jincho are the source of our comedy for sure and for different reasons, but EkhidnaWritz skillfully colors this within each character while giving us incredible content for SciFi.

@jasonb1932 20 hours ago Leo should get the initial 3 implant Wyatt got, he did not get promoted but my guess is he will get the implants to be on equal footing with the composter squadron (The Wolfpack). Wyatt will no doubted be getting more implants namely the Ontaro and the Exceeder. Wyatt should also get new armor equal to the Royal Marine's. Clara has purple Cynthia has red Wyatt should remain black with some sort of purple accent not exceeding a royal marine but similar. Since he isn't good with weapons a compromise could be a combat blade or short sword contained in his wrist bracers, it would follow his natural flow of melee fighting. Just the same as a punch or a block only with a blade, a natural extension like Wolverines claws. Even better if they were plasma blades. The Composters (Wolfpack) should be expected to receive modified fighters, even though Redford dislikes fighters standing out making them bigger targets, the composters (Wolfpack) should be all black with the same purple accents on Wyatt's future upgraded armor. I think the new color scheme would instill more fear than becoming mere bullseyes. the other pilots may not get the same due to cost restrictions, they are however getting refitted and upgrades regarding there armor. Jincho will likely not be under the thumb of Chief technician Lupin and will operate independently. He will now get to dig around for the origins of the black ships. He may also, eventually figure out how Jade associated what's his face the traitor. I would like to see Milkades help Wyatt learn how to receive Cynthia's training better. I cant wait until Wyatt actually land his first blow upon Cynthia. Surprising unexpected terrifying, exceptional. I wonder when the last time anyone actually got a strike in on her, it was probably Juliana when the were kids. Wyatt should sit down with Declan, no more calling him lord. Wyatt should also explain hi perspectives to Declan, since he is stuck with him Declan needs to understand Wyatt's world view. If Wyatt can do that Declan could be Wyatt's right hand man, his Luca Brassie. As Wyatt is now a Barron Declan can help Wyatt establish his house more effectively with a royal on his side for the right reasons and what seems to be real loyalty and appreciation. Think about the report Clara sent to the Prince, how he consumed the information in seconds instead of hours. If Wyatt gets the implant to do the same thing why can he not get the training the nobility complains he does not have? It stands to reason in the story that this implant doesn't make up for traditional learning but couldn't it help bridge the gap? What is Felicity's small revenge going to be? Petty to be sure, but since Ekhidna mentioned it, it should be good (in a bad way) Will little Cayston betray his father no matter how unlikely it would be? This is a wild card What are the head officers talking about shifting there tactics regarding Wyatt, clearly they have no standing against him regarding Clara and Redford. It should be very clear by now that going against Wyatt is going against Clara, Redford, the Prince and most scary Cynthia. What could possibly be the upside of anything else, Sabraska seems to be the only one that gets it, not for what seems to be completely the right reasons. Gault is another wild card regarding this, when and if he has a hand to play if the head officers are considering any sort of move against Wyatt. He is loyal to Wyatt, that much is clear. What sort of intrigue will happen with this? Will Istonel and Wyatt's understanding between each other give credence to what Saraton believes regarding an alliance? Wyatt can start a repair and design business, move his family to Haugo eventually. Put his dad Wirt and his young brother Wham in charge. In the future to be sure but a nice cherry on top toward the end of the story but hopefully the start of a new chapter in tis saga. Haugo needs rebuilt anyhow, sooner may be the perfect fit? "House Staples rebuilds Haugo and become a powerhouse of innovation and healing for the principality!!!!! His mother could innovate healing and social justice between commoners and nobility, she is a social worker. His Clixtal hunting brother? Captain of the guard, who else but his trusted brother with Declan at his side. Will Clara return to Macha and the Prince next? My guess is another adventure as they need to return Felicity and Casamire back to Draymore. I foresee an entire chapter on Andrew Cayston loosing his collective mind when he gets his beloved son back in pieces. Mad people make mistakes and Clara doesn't get mad she gets creative. Mayhaps another house to her tally? There seems to be a lot of room to continue the story as the prince stated months or longer to prepare for a strike against his uncle. Draymore may sacrifice Felicity in some sort of suicide type move with the illusion of granting her back her honor after failing so hard. Many parts of the story play out like a chess match, move this sacrifice that etc. She may have just became a pawn, Andrew Cayston a Knight or Bishop about to make a poor move. Not to forget we have kings and queens, Veronica has been presented as a butcher and mentioned by Felicity (respected and feared) It is curious, what will be her next part in tis epic tale? Clara has demonstrated physical strength twice in the story. once when she was 14 and snatched up Hulma by his throat and tossed him several meters. once when she snatched up Felicity by the jaw, a comment made to Cynthia joking about not being a delicate princess. Will Clara and Veronica throw down at some point with Clara shocking everyone with great marshal prowess? The fact that she eats like a pig eludes to many implants etc., her addiction to sweets may be compensating her body's needs. Cynthia surly gives her lessons as well, self defense and more. Best implants and med tech credits can buy and trained by a Winfield, formable to be sure. Clara V Veronica, my money is on Clara the unhinged Princess. There may be another reason for Cynthia to call he princess Unhinged? I foresee an upcoming episode, Wyatt will fly a shuttle and join Royal Marine on a black opps rescue mission for Giovani Alexander and probably Draymores son. Don't forget about Jade, what trouble will he cause next, when he is caught Mikades should skin him alive starting at his toes!!!! What will happen when they get the records from the third fleet and discover Wyatt is what he is, a commoner nothing special not renown a mere compost pilot? Realizing a man of commoner origins is the most naturally deadly pilot and combatant born to the principality in generations.

Great review and insights.

Tim Edwards

Probably.

Tim Edwards

Very well done. Your insight greatly adds to this story.

Fred Flint

is the lack of reaction towards Wyatt's attack on the gallant venture from certain nobles due to the surrender message sent by felicity cintor

newstart627

Sounds like Rochelle could be a good spouse for Wyatt.

Jeff Wright

Love the review Thank YOU alot of great insighy

Pat

Very nice review Soundwave, quite complete well written. There's only a few things that I might add, Wyatt should ask Clara does Milkades know about the empathy implant ( I guess he would, he knows Clara since she was a child and might have been her bodyguard until Cynthia became strong enough) And maybe he should also ask Clara to limit posible fainting news to private surroundings. At least give him a warning so he can prepare emotionally. My guess is that Leopold didn't get a promotion because the Nobles would riot , poor lad. I suppose sooner or later he will get his elevation just for his proximity to Wyatt and the Composter Squad.

Alexander Weigl

I really enjoyed your review. You talk about many of these I'm interested in. Good job

It is noteworthy that all of the Staples men faint after they think about the results of what had happened, not when it is happening. Also if Ekhidna wants to make a tied into a neat bow kind of event, have the Prince tie the Composters and Jinko to House Staples by Royal recognitions. Also would love to see Jinko find some kind of encoded remote control system so that the loyalist to the Prince can not only see the black ships but also take control of them. It would create a very interesting counter to the black ships in general.

@Soundwave119 you are completely right with your ending. And a Great review

Jaime Nunes

My thoughts are that the prince intentionally wanted to over promote Wyatt so the nobles would accept the actual promotion he wanted to give him.
