RearAdmiralZill:
*Zill shook his head.*
Yea my armor was hit pretty hard. Most of it is wooden now, but i have some spare plating to reinforce. Luckily my guns held up. Im putting a flamer on the back for good measure. After that display it would be my luck to have some prototype vessel stuck on my tail.

*He stood over the crates on ammo and smirked.*
I remember this stuff. One time you set us on fire and i had to land into the desert sands to put us out. I was so mad. Looking back now its pretty flakin' funny.

Shinkurex:
*Shink overhears Yiski saying something about burst rounds, and decides to snoop around.*

"Hey Yiski, mind if I steal some of these rounds, and modify them for the lumberjack?"

Yiski:
*Yiski thought for a bit.*
Well, I'll help you with the modifications. No sense in having you burn yourself alive and take the whole town with you in a never-ending wildfire.

*Yiski motions a few workers to gently and carefully grab a crate of the Phosphorous burst rounds*

BdrLineAzn:
*BdrLine and Ny-Lee are inside the docks radio room*

*On one radio, BdrLine is on with Zankif*

So how long until you and your fleet near the borders?

We are almost out of League territory, a few more hours and we would be nearing the Pass.

Alright, once you see sight of the patrol, radio me back. I'll let them know your with us, don't want some accidental fighting.

Understood, out

*During BdrLine and Zakif's conversation, Ny-Lee is also on another radio. She is with the High Command reporting them about the details*

So you confirmed that their location is at Lu Tower correct.

Yes sir, the team I am on were trying to conduct some recon, when they made contact with us. They opened fire once we were insight. Had to fall back to La Ferra

Can't believe they are back. ...I know that you and your family are respected citizens in the Empire, and that you went into the Academy, what is your current rank?

I'm a Lieutenant sir. If I may ask, why do you ask sir?

Well you are the only Officer who has combat experience and knowledge about the group. Plus your near proximity to them, we decided to give you a field promotion to the rank of Captain. We are giving you jurisdiction of the area and command of the fleet in La Ferra. We are also sending the Grand Fleet from the Capital and a fleet from W'e River

*Ny-Lee is speechless at the decision*
Why thank you sirs, I won't let you down. ...Sirs?

*Over the radio, chairs are heard scooting backwards and a new voice is heard in the background. After a few moments, more movement is heard and the voice comes on the radio*

Hello, Captain Zhao. This is the Emporer speaking and I want to say that we are grateful at what you and your team are doing.

Thank you, your excellence. We are doing all in our power to stop this madness

And because of this, I am personally coming with the Grand Fleet

*in the background*
Your Majesty are you sure? You know the Birdmen wants the throne, with you near the battle they will target you and your ship

Yes I know the risk, but I'm going to finish what my ancestor started. The full destruction of this wretched organisation.

Very well sir, Captain Zhao, you have one more assignment I'm afraid. You'll be personally guarding the Emporer and his battleship.

Yes sir, understood

Well may the Gods watch over us as we enter this battle. Captain, you are dismissed

Yes sir, Captain Zhao out

*Static can be heard and Ny-Lee leaves the radio and sees that her brother is done*

So how did it went.

Well I've been promoted, given command of the Imperial Fleets around the area, and the Emporer himself is coming.

*BdrLine is slack jaw at he information*
Wow all I have is that Zankif is on his way. But at least we have some more firepower

Yeah, just a little too much for me to handle. Think I need a little drink

Same, come on let's find the others. They might like what we have

*BdrLine and Ny-Lee leaves the radioroom and Sandra around the docks to find the rest of the group*

RearAdmiralZill:
*Zill heads over to his boat when he see's BdrLine and Ny-Lee walking up. He approaches them.*
Well well how is the prestigious family members doing today?

*BdrLine and Ny-Lee tell Zill about the recent happenings.*
Flak me. Thats rather big news. Congratulations Ny. That will surely help with this final fight. I may have just the drinks for the occasion.

*Zill hollars to Shink and Papa to bring down a barrel in the hold. "Lilly" brought glasses for the group. Yiski and Roland hear the commotion and come down.*
What's the occasion? We got preparations to make and you want to drink!

Calm down. You are in the presence of a new Imperial Captain. *He gestures to Ny.*

Wow really?? Thats amazing Ny!

*Ronald embraces her, and Yiski is grinning and shaking his head. The story behind the radio calls are told to the group.*
The Emperor himself huh? Thats impressive. Risky as all Hell though.

Maybe, but I dont blame him. He wouldnt be much of an Emperor if he sat on his throne and let others fight for him. He isnt the Council.

*They all laugh. The drinks are prepared. It was a barrel of wine dating back to the Guild/Baron conflict. Zill got all he could while he was fighting them.*
A toast. To a new Imperial Captain, and to our finest hours against the Birdmen. May this be the end.

To Clear Skies.
