The order of souls value the memories of the cursed pirates.
However being completely dead they can't talk back.
The order of souls are searching for something. They need to interrogate them about details they see from their memories.
Now that the Lore part is explained what would this mean for gameplay?
Think of it like a merchant voyage where you get animals into cages.
There is a big gibbet-like cage you can grab. Pick it up (limits your visibility) and throw it on the skeleton.
Take the skelly aboard your ship and sell to the order of souls.
Or... Open the gibbet and release the skeleton.
Keep a few on your ship or bring one with you and release them and cause chaos on ships or at Outposts.
(This part is just for fun)
Voyages may require specific Skeletons to capture such as ashen Skeletons, skeleton captains aboard ships (which will be tricky as u gotta board) and all other types of skellies too.
Even capture a shadow skeleton by shining with light and then capture it in gibbet cage. Be sure to keep the cage near a light source on your ship to avoid it freeing itself.
Overall it would make you feel like a bounty hunter and not an outright skeleton assassin.
If you don't want to sell them you could have them around for fun.
Perhaps you fancy a little spar? Release it and have a deckside fight.
Overrun an outpost for a laugh or release a few on an unsuspecting parked ship.
