about

In this episode, our protagonist (Holmes/kid with pediatric brain tumor) is impressed into duty as a deckhand on Captain Ahab's (played by Vincent - obviously) ship the Pequod. The protagonist meets the other characters in Moby Dick (Cancer/Tumor) and works with everyone to take down that dreaded big while whale.

lyrics

C-Level

The chosen few, it’s all new, impressed into Ahab’s crew, can’t see you but they say you’re here
Remanded deck hand, far away from dry land suddenly your form appears
Boat slip, a ghost ship, a fate trip, gone adrift you’re something everybody fears
Took the news determined to keep you in the captain’s view, ride the tides until we’re clear

We’re all chasing a great white whale, with tidal waves all around, C-Level with an even keel, together we can take him down

Typhoon, harpoon, Quequeg ocean blue, unanchored on an unknown course
Black water, blue water, white cap, sea otter, I’m adrift but still on board
Star map, wave’s lap, moonraker’s sail flap, every storm needs a port
Windward, leeward, scuttlebutt, sea bird, a race with a great reward

Chorus
Regale Ishmael Pequod full sail shots across the starboard
Taciturn, rope burn, center line, bow-to-stern, we’ll win the battle and the war
Skyline, shoreline, Starbuck feelin fine he knows
we’re on a home course
Permission, remission, revision, the listen the waves finally found the shore
