If the player did not own this pin, a note appeared on the door to the Captain's Quarters, containing a riddle on how to find the key:
So ye want in my Quarters?
Well I've hidden the key!
It's found in an item
That's personal to me.
Now don't despair,
The riddle's easier than it looks.
Just go to a room,
That's abound with books!
