So, there are tankers out there that carry orange juice. Go figure.

There is even a specialized shipping line that runs such fruit juice tankers.

So, what can we make out of this?
Say, what if one of this tankers encounters a pirate crew who thought that they were hitting a worthy target?
Since the shipping line is based in Switzerland, of course the Gnomes of Zurich are involved. Maybe the orange juice is spiked with mind-blocking (or mind-enhancing?) drugs, and another conspiracy fed the pirates with wrong intel?
