Return to Santa Marta

On my return to Santa Marta I came across a fleet that has arrived from Spain with a royal representative. His name is Juan de Valdivia and he has come to collect the Crown's quinto. To the best of my interest he has announced that I have been approved as the leader of the Spanish colony here in Panama. I will request that the King send one thousand men and weapons to make our voyage to the Southern Ocean. I know that we will find a shorter route to these spices of the Indies.
