Burning Skies Saloon Side Quest: The Chase

[Yiski]

*Yiski looks to Jun'ko. Gives her a nod*

Heard you've crewed with Zill before. If he's allowed you to crew with him before, then I've got no question you're good enough. So it's a pleasure to be workin with you.

*Yiski tosses her the key to the warehouse*

Aside from my ammo being loaded up, I did see some nice tools in there so I'm gonna figure it's for you.

*Yiski heads onto Zill's spire to load up his new rounds and yells as he's walking*

If anything blows up, it's not my fault.

[Psyran]

*allows BdrLineAzn's comment to break his concentration and accidentally smashes his thumb with his mallet*

Son of a... Bloody little...

*peeks his head over the side of the rail*

Apparently, the only thing I'm breaking is myself. This port thruster is all screwy. The inverter was installed upside-down, so the leads are touching the harness when the ship lists to port, causing a ground. It's going to take me the better part of the afternoon to fix this.

[N-Sunderland]

I'm ready to go, Skyraider and the like had better hurry up.

[RearAdmiralZill]

*Jun'ko heads to the back and comes back starry eyed*

This cannot possibly be what I think it is Zill. A long lost gear driver wrench lost in the old wars? They are rumored to rebuild like a spanner and rebuild like a mallet. I don't know what to say....

*Zill gives a blank stare for another minute before responding*

You dont have to say anything. Now you have no excuse for letting my armor get tore up like last time, unless you keep staring at Yiski or something.

*Jun'ko gets lost in thought before shaking her head and yelling at Psyran*

We don't have all afternoon. Turn it clockwise and keep the leads to starboard. I can reverse the harness to quit the grounding. These tools need breaking in on something other than Zill's head.

*She climbs up and shoots a glance back at BdrLine*

I remember your family. Never did like them. Good to see something good came out of it. *Winks*

*Zill shakes his head and murmers*

Shes going to have a hay-day with these guys...

*Yells up to Yiski*

Like hell it isnt. You break my Hwacha and youll be hangin' by your pants off the bow.

[Skyraider]

*Runs in holding papers and something cover in wrapping paper*
*Stumbles*
Alrigthy! Me ship is ready, I got some research done, but I ain't got all the points connected. Ready to set sail!

[Sgt. Spoon]

*Climbs aboard Skyraider's ship*

About bloody time you got here!

[Psyran]

I just finished fixing the engine, she's good to go cap'n.

[Skyraider]

I just finished fixing the engine, she's good to go cap'n.

*Sighs*
Nothin' is ever "fixed" on Mercury.

[Yiski]

*PapaParadox enters the docks. Around him is his trusty carbine.*

Didn't think I'd be tardy.

*PapaParadox gives a nod to Zill and heads up into the Spire*
*Yiski passes by Paradox as Yiski exits the Spire*

Well, Zill everything is set and loaded and nothing blew up... _yet

*Yiski looks around and sees that everybody has gathered.*

Well Zill, your ship, your call to set sail.

*Yiski hops back onto We didn't survive*

[N-Sunderland]

*inspects the Mercury*

Hmph, last time I was on this ship, Skyraider was pestering me about forgetting my engineering equipment. He wouldn't let me have the end of it for the rest of the battle!

[Skyraider]

*Stands up and bows towards Zill*
I am at your command, Admiral Zill, commander of fleets. Waitin' for orders.

[Sgt. Spoon]

*Interrupts*

Did we have any clue were this bird-man might have went, other than south?

[Yiski]

*Interrupts*

Did we have any clue were this bird-man might have went, other than south?

*Hears the question over the railings and yells down*

Nope, but when we get to Sarin we can ask some of the locals. What few ships head south typically pass by Sarin. Pretty sure the locals can tell us where Birdman and his galleon are headed.

[Psyran]

*sits in the aft portion of the goldfish with his feet up on the railing, sipping a pint of Hellfire he sneaked from the Cantina before climbing back on board*

*stares out across the landscape at the setting sun in the distance*

Well, this day had a slow start, but I feel that it's going to be an interesting journey towards Sarin. Still can't believe that we're sending two ships to hunt down a flare gun that he threatened to burn the Cantina down with.

*mumbles under his breath as he takes a sip from his pint*

Maybe we'll find some other treasure worth keeping...

[RearAdmiralZill]

*Nods his mask toward Sky*

I want a 24 hour watch while we are chasing this character. I dont like surprises unless im givin' em. Spear formation (in-line) on our way out, and line formation (side by side) once we hit the town limits. I'll give you more when we are up and outta' here.

*Beckons Jun'ko on the ship and tells the deck hands to let fly. The engines burst with life from their moonshine fuel. The balloon, filled with an air/hydrogen mix, inflates rapidly. Zill bows his head and says a prayer to his crew and on the radio.*

By the Skies we fly this day. Off into the Sunset to give chase. May the Winds stay at our back. Our Dusty Mistress be appeased. Our Mugs ever full. Onwards ye' Dogs, Into the Fray.

*He draws a breath of the dry air and pulls up, his lumbering Spire complying with ease. Jun'ko sees to the engines, with Yiski and PapaP on watch. We Didn't Survive thrusts out of the docking area and on to skies anew, followed closely by Sky in the Mercury.*

Yiski, join me at the helm. Its been a long time since we had this view together.
