History[]

Season Four[]

Marion Guthrie takes Max for a walk in the dockside district of Philadelphia. There, she points out into the distance and says that there are pirates there. Marion tells Max that they have inhabited the east bank of the river across from Springett Island for years. The governor promises every year that he will chase them off, but the pirates remain. Marion goes on to say that there are seven major shipping concerns in Philadelphia, and in less than a decade, more goods will move through the city than any other English-speaking port outsideLondon, and that there will be civilization in Philadelphia. Marion then asks Max where the pirates will be, and Max replies that they will be on the east bank across from Springett Island. Marion asks why, testing Max, and Max says it is because the shipping concerns charge a premium for the risk the pirates present, which she assumes the governor also benefits from. She admits that while there is theft, everyone benefits from it and therefore would want to end it.
