Re: 6: Lakshadweep or Bust
Somewhat unsurprisingly, Connor finds no signal flags. Then again, he realizes there's no way to fly them any how. While everyone searched the ship when you first acquired it, no one paid particular attention to the cache of flags that had been rolled up and stashed in one of the cabinets.
There are a dozen: Spain, France, Russia, United States, Prussia, Italy, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Austro-Hungary, Japan, and one he can't identify--it's a red double-headed eagle on a white field, with the left eagle saying "Aye" and the right eagle saying "Nay".
There is a stay extending from the front of the gondola out to near the front of the ship from which a flag can be flown (hanging down). It can be accessed from the bridge, of course, so you don't have to go outside to fly it.
