The Skies have no Limit
Sgt. Spoon:
Spoon moaned as he moved around a bit. Not really conscious yet, but shifting position in his sleep. He rolled around a bit more, then suddenly shouted and flew off the couch, eyeing everone in the room with quick head-motions. His pulse hammered in his head, and he could hardly hear a thing.
Spoon
You...
Sadly, in the quick attempt at regaining balance he tripped over the table in front of him, falling face down into the floor, and once again rendering him completely unconsious.
BdrLineAzn:
Cathedral
--YIS Comet, Cathedral Airspace--
After hearing the standby order from the Militia personnel, both ships are still holding their position above the City. From their view spot, many ships are coming and going as they fly pass the two military ships as the rain let up and blue, open skies are coming through the bleak clouds. Soon another voice comes through the radio.
Captain Walker
"This is Captain Walker, Yeshan vessels, please state the purpose to your request."
Hearing the new voice, Ny-Lee returns back to the radio to answer.
Ny-Lee
"Captain Walker, this is Captain Zhao of the YIS Comet. We have received information that a airship has landed in the city earlier carry two passengers that have been rescued. Those passengers are two important individuals to the Empire and we have orders to retrieve and escort them back to Chang-ning. And out of courtesy we were told to ask permission before landing in the city."
--Wild Winds Inn--
As everyone holster their weapons, Althea and BdrLine does the same. Sheathing back the blades back inside his forearm braces, BdrLine takes a seat to listen to what Gareth has to say. With Gareth finishing his explanation, he then refers to another man by the name of Balor which he tells the contents of the letter, surprising BdrLine, his parents and Althea.
Removing the napkin from his nose, Shen goes over to the table where his son is sitting and takes a seat.
Shen
"I knew the three branches have extremist, but an attack and take over of the Guild? One we are not at war with them, two they are deliberating orchestrating its downfall. As a Yeshan and a member of the Ox, yes I would like to see the Blue Veil spread, but not through war and force. I'm more for peace and have the occupants of a city willing to be merged into the Empire."
BdrLine
"Even though I have a bad rep against the Guild, they did fund the Birdmen a long time back. A hostile tack over of another fraction, those guys who are planning this are no worse than the Birdmen themselves. If there is anyway I can help, I have a friend of mine who has a warehouse in the Guild capital, he's a crafty one and has men who can spy around if needed to."
The others turn around as they hear a table fall down and sees Spoon hitting his head yet again. Rolling his eyes, BdrLine gets up and helps him back onto the couch. As BdrLine is helping with Spoon, Shen notices that Zardis is waking up again and goes over to kneel over him to try to get his senses back.
Shen
"Hey Zardis, you awake? Come on, I know we had a rough start but we are caught up now and are willing to help with this."
--Southern Docks
Courage
"Huh, this is the warehouse, where is everybody?"
Charles
"Maybe they are closed. We can come back some other time."
Standing outside the warehouse owned by Alex, Charles and Courage looks through the windows of the office and the surrounding area trying to find Dalhia or anyone else who works here. All that they found is an empty area and a locked building. With nothing else todo, the two walks back to the Inn.
Piemanlives:
--Sky Runner, Burren--
Lorena
"Huh, she's still asleep."
She was walking about the ship, checking the equipment and weapons, keeping everything working, such is the job of the main engineer. However upon her wanderings about the vessel she stumbled upon their still sleeping passenger. She quickly took off her coat and draped it over her before heading back to work, and to be honest, she thought she was kind of cute. Over by the helm Preston and Alex were having a conversation.
Alex
"How exactly does this work?!"
Preston
"I don't want to know."
They were both taking turns fiddling with the cube he picked up at the market, it was still in the form it was when the stall worker had twisted it about. They were both trying to return it to it's original form, as that was the goal of the exercise. However in the course of it all, they probably put themselves in a worse position to solve it.
Preston
"This is so frust-ow-rating!"
Alex
"That it is, are you alright by the way?"
Preston
"Pain is mostly dull now, jerking it oddly still hurts a lot, doubt I could fire a gun or anything for a while."
Alex
"It's alright, now back to the cube!"
Preston
"Exactly how did they expect anyone to solve this?!"
They looked over to see Phillip taking his shift at the helm.
Phillip
"Hello Captain, Preston. What's that?"
Alex
"Puzzle cube of some sort. It is immensely frustrating though!"
Preston
"It's as if this is the physical manifestation of some sadistic demon!"
Phillip
"Can I see it?"
The both looked at each other for a moment.
Preston & Alex
"Sure."
Preston tossed it to him who began scrutinizing it over. He twisted it a bit before going serious on it, giving it several dozen lightning twists they couldn't even follow. He tossed it back to them, with all six colors separated. They both looked at him in awe as they studied the cube.
Alex
"How is this possible?!"
Preston
"Must have used magic, he must have."
They both sighed, Preston took it behind his back and gave several very audible twists and came back with a fairly mixed cube. Phillip just shook his head as he kept his eye on course, the fleet had mobilized only half an hour ago, Cathedral was still a fairly sizable blot on the horizon as they flew towards their first destination of Garrow and then over night to the Oblivion flats and Orrington where they would rest before heading for Serenity Bay and Farona, and from there, Aschenfeld and finally Landmark.
Alex
"So where's Reynold and Travis?"
Phillip
"Taking a look at the craft."
Alex
"Ahh."
--Craft Crane--
Travis
"So this is the crane."
Reynold
"Yup, Dalhia, how's the crane looking?"
Dalhia
"Not that bad, it seems to be holding, the metal isn't bent in anyway."
Travis
"So this is our secret weapon then?"
Reynold
"Not really, no."
Travis
"Huh, I see."
Dalhia
"Though the fact he mounted the damn thing with a hwacha is damn scary."
Travis
"Makes it damn frightening."
Reynold
"Still, I want to see them use it."
--Cathedral Harbor Administration--
Walker
"Yes, we've had some issues over the past week, sabotage and the like, anyways you're cleared for docking."
Gryphos:
--Wild Winds Inn--
Zardis
"Wait, what?"
Shen
"We want to help."
Zardis rose to his feet and fumbled his way over and into his chair.
Gareth
"I've explained the situation to everyone."
Zardis
"Okay... well then..."
Lyre
"So, we know there's a problem at hand. The only question is, how do we deal with it?"
Shen
"The orders are against the will of the emperor, I can bring it to attention and get the Deer and Tiger extremists arrested."
Zardis laughed.
Zardis
"This plot wasn't put together by some senior officials. This letter was sent by the Deer himself, the top official in the entire sector, to the Tiger, possibly the single most influential general in the world. These guys know they're acting against the will of the emperor and they really don't care, because even the emperor can't touch them."
Plasma
"The only option I see is direct intervention."
Zardis
'What? Going directly to Vyshtorg to intercept the assassins.?"
Gareth
"It could work. The only issue I see is knowing when they'll strike. I don't think they're stupid enough to act hastily."
Lyre
"We need an informant of some kind. Someone on the inside."
Zardis
"The Tiger wouldn't be foolish enough to just go round telling people he didn't trust. That's likely why none of the Oxen knew about it."
BrdLine
"I'll tell my friend in Vyshtorg to keep an eye out anyway."
Gareth
"Good idea. And if Mr and Mrs Zhao could keep an eye out in Chang-ning, that would be good."
Michael then walked over to the Zhaos.
Michael
"Don't worry, we won't let the extremists slander the Yeshan name."
Plasmarobo:
Plasma touches his ribs experimentally and winces.
Plasma
"I think this might be one I'll have to sit out. You've got my radio frequency, and somebody needs to hold down the fort."
He glances at the unconscious Spoon and sighs.
Plasma
"Seems to me like people here could use a bit of looking after. Besides, I've got a new girl to train!"
He saunters behind the bar to where Lia is glaring at him with a sort of defeated "are you kidding me" expression on her face.
Plasma leers back and begins explaining the intricacies of the bar as he serves a few patrons who seem to have collected faster than the girl can serve them.
