Burning Skies Saloon Quest: Past, Present, and Future
BdrLineAzn:
--M'Naghten--
*After leaving port, the two ship formation is cruising through the League skies*
*On top of the roof of the M'Naghten, BdrLine is laying down staring out into the desert thinking to himself*
Five years.... I'm finally coming home. Man I wished it was under different circumstances. Oh well.... Huh?
*BdrLine hears a nosie coming from somewhere near the stern and looks towards that direction*
*Coming up from the balloon pump is Ny-Lee, she climbs up the finally feet and goes over to her brother*
Figured you'll be up here. It took me a while but I finally found out how you get up to here. ...So you been thinking about home?
*She sits next to her brother*
*BdrLine looks back out in the desert*
Yeah, just wish I was coming back without all this. *Flair his arms out in front of him* The Empire being endangered, a group of pychotic bird people, and the thing we went through
Yeah I know how you feel. Coming back home from a vacation and we have to save it. But look at it this way, once we stop them coming back will feel much better.
*BdrLine looks at his sister*
I guess your right. *sigh* Lu Tower here we come. Just hope we are not too late.
Lu Tower... I just find that odd
*A confused look come upon BdrLine's face*
How so?
Well you should know that the three Towers are just that, giant towers guarding the entrance to Chang-ning. When you were at He Tower you remember that it's like a small community.
Yeah... where are you going with this?
Well shouldn't Lu be like that as well. A Tower with it's own small community. So where would you hide an organisation then.
*BdrLine takes a moment until realisation takes place*
Underground, just like Izumi. Maybe thats why there wasn't much activity in the Empire. They are still hiding out waiting for a chance to strike.
That's what I been thinking as well. we just have to find that entrance.
Well If they are still hiding out still inside the Empire, it will be pretty hidden
That is what I am afraid off, come on let's tell Yiski's and Roland about. it
*The two siblings hop down and goes to Yiski and talk to him about their obsevation*
RearAdmiralZill:
-Then It Was Fixed-
*Zill was still working on Jun'ko's new persona as they made full steam toward Lu Tower. She approached him.*
Still mad at me?
*He looks up at her.*
Mad isnt the right word. Frustrated I suppose. And no, im over that.
...Sometimes I wish you would hear me out before getting that way.
Years of being the person people look to for direction can do that I guess. Short version?
*She sits next to the helm and nods.*
Ill try. So you know i was a respectable officer in the Yeshan Guard. What I didn't tell you about was the Hell I had to endure to maintain it. As a woman, it was only doubled. I assume you can imagine.
*Zill nods*
Well after proving to myself I could do it, I felt that i did not have to suffer for anyone's sake, and so I left with the support of my family. I went to find new pastures, and eventually found you.
Id of been screwed if you hadn't shown up. Those engines were cooked thanks to that useless greaser. He had the nerve to tell me moonshine was no good.
*Jun'ko chuckles.*
And here we are.
Well, since youre awol, you get a mask and the name Lilly Stephans. Youre an engineer out of Anvala, yet were born in Yesha obviously due to your accent. You can stick to the story that you wanted to see the world and found my ship a perfect fit.
Lilly huh? I kinda like that. Do this often?
I have many friends for many means. *He Smirks.* Nice talk too.
Its a start.
BdrLineAzn:
*After hours of continuous flying through League territory, the team finally sees signs of Yeshan influence*
*At around mid-noon, the two ship formation nears the checkpoint town in the Yao Ling Pass*
*As they near, they can see Empire Air Fleet ships conducting an aerial patrol*
*Three Imperial Gallerons fly in a line formation with a their port broadside facing out. Passing the opposite of them are a pair of Flak Goldfish, trailed by a lone Pyramidion and Junker*
--M'Naghten--
*On board the M'Naghten Yiski and Roland takes in the show of power from the Imperial Patrol*
*Roland whistle at the sight*
*Ny-Lee goes up to him*
A sight ain't it
Yeah
*As they near the checkpoint, a four squid formation comes upon the group*
*On what looks like the lead ship, a signal light comes on flashing Morse code*
*On the helm, Yiski decipher the message*
Shift ship into flanking speed, change radio frequency to 120 MegaHertz
*Ny-Lee calls up to him*
It's just protocol, if we comply they won't shoot
*Yiski does what the message says and lower his speed, he goes over the radio and dials in the radio*
*Over the radio comes a mans voice*
Ahh good, sorry about this, just routine. We are assigned to escort you in, any signs of resistance and you will be shot out of the sky. Once docked, we will do an inspection of your ship and crew. Finally welcome to the Great Yesha Empire
* The two ships comply and allowed the four squids to escort them in the docking bay*
*Back on Yiski Goldfish, BdrLine thinks to himself*
Man... it's good to be back home
Papa Paradox:
Papa wakes up in the middle of the afternoon, he swings his legs over the side of the bed. His feet hit the floor and he steps up fine, but as soon as he went to lift his left leg his knee froze up and locked it in an impossibly awkward angle, Papa ate the ground.
Ugh, what the flyin' flak!
Papa fliped on his back, sat up and looked at his leg.
Oh, Shink, when I find you boyo...
He rewired it, it made hissing noises as he reattached it to its proper position. Shink was peeking around the corner of the staircase laughing to himself. He heard rapid decompression's which only meant one thing: Papa was running.
Oh, shi...
He made it past Jun'Ko before Papa got a hold of his collar.
Now listen here, laddy: Y'don't go messin' round with peoples mechanics, lest you don't mind them messin' with yours...
He took out his volcanic pistol, pointed it at shink's leg and cocked it.
Jun'ko took a large plank and hit Papa in the back of the head, he was completely inaffected. He spun around and looked at Jun.
As I was saying... But I love ya too much for that
He dropped Shink from a foot up, he fell.
As for you missy, I'm not sure what to do with you, you could've cause some serious damage...
He shot at the plank of wood which exploded in a hail of splinters.
Now someone wanna tell me 'bout them squids?
Yiski:
--M'Naghten--
*Yiski to BdrLine and Ny-Lee*
I understand protocol, I just would've figured the Empire increased security given the presence of Birdmen.
*Roland thinks to himself about earlier today.*
I willingly killed a man point-blank. It was different when It was firing the gating. But I had to or Yiski could have died.
*Roland mentally shakes his head.*
I can deal with that later. Given our closeness to Chang-ning, I hope I can talk to Ny-Lee's parents about marriage.
*The Yeshan patrol gives the team instructions to dock at a checkpoint in Yao Ling Pass.*
