The island of Cheshire was a territory place under the protection of the Notch Pirates, but that was just about its only claim to fame. Before hand it had been a place of average means, the people weren't living lavish but they were comfortable in their day to day lives. Now they were impoverished, the struggle for control of their island draining what little wealth they had and leaving them destitute.

And the worst part about this, Julia thought, was that the people hadn't even participated in the struggle for their island. The Notch had set their sights on the place for no other reason than to expand their territory, and some rival crew had come up to challenge them. The battle left more than a little collateral damage, and the island was so much worse off than it had been before either side had decided to set foot here.

Julia's job as a member of the Notch's First Division was the restoration of such territories, which was why she was here now. She had pulled together a group of people from every part of the crew: dozens of doctors, chefs, carpenters and others of varying skills. She needed to get this place back into tip-top shape, not for her crew's sake but for the people. Her heart went out to them.

Ellesmere wasn't the only town on the island, but it is the one Julia had personally set up shop in. She had delegated the restoration of the others to the various groups under her command. She made rounds through medical tents, now, giving second opinions on diagnoses and offering input on a patient's treatment "I have to remember to check on the food tents." She thought to herself contemplatively "The carpenters should be well enough on their own. I can't help much there anyway."

"Doctor Faraday!"

The shout drew Julia out of her musings, quickly turning in the direction of the voice and heading over to offer whatever assistance she could to her subordinate.
