BdrLineAzn:
--Docks--
*BdrLine's House*
*With the increase of military personnel round the docks, and with Zill's warning him not to piss off the guards, BdrLine is in his room on his bed trying to think of something to do*
Hmm can't do any of my experiments or test for a while *sighs* think its for the best, don't want any misfires or explosions with all this going around... What to do.
*Then a idea came to him*
I almost forgot that the guys converted my warehouse. Maybe i can try my hand on that small race track.
*He gets out of bed and heads downstairs and out the door. His mother, who is at the kitchen eating eyes her son as he goes out*
Never the one to stay in one place
*She smirks as she brings up memories of Bdr when he was younger*
*Once Liu finishes eating, she places everything back and heads out the door to meet with her daughter at the saloon*
*Back to BdrLine, he nears his warehouse, as he gets closer, he can hear his usual group inside and the sound of small car engines running*
Today is a good time to stop by.
*He opens the door and he can see Tommy, Allen, and John in miniature carts racing along the track*
*He call out to them*
"I see you guys are working hard *laughs*"
*Allen, who is in the lead, spots Bdr and calls back*
"Hey we all need breaks sometimes right"
"Which is why I'm hear, stop the race and get me a cart lets see how i fare against you guys"
*Once all three cross the finish, John gets out and help move another cart on the track. As the was doing this, Tommy goes over to Bdr and explain to him how to work it. Once all four were ready, they line up to start.
*As they start their engines, BdrLine calls over to all of them*
"How about we make this interesting, who ever wins have to pay 10 silvers to him"
*The other agrees and after a moment and Allen counting down, once he says zero, all four of them goes off*
--Slaoon--
*In the saloon, work is slow as many of the regulars are out at the docks helping Zill*
*With the few people inside, Ny-Lee and Jun'lo manages without a hitch. Both of the ladies are just at the bar talking yo each other and occasionally getting up to hand someone a drink*
*Liu enters the saloon a few moments later and goes over and sits with the two*
*Ny-Lee notices her mother coming in*
"Hi mother, need anything today?"
"Oh no Ny, I'm fine. Just need to get out of your brothers house with all the work that is happening at the docks."
"Speaking of him, where is he."
"Your brother is off somewhere in the docks doing something, we all know that whatever he is up to it has to do with something crazy."
*Jun'ko chimes in with a comment*
"We all can imagine"
*The three of them laughs as the continue to talk*
Yiski:
--Warehouse--
*Yiski and Roland enter the warehouse. Yiski walks over to a table covered in a tarp and pulls it off. It reveals a full metal crafting set, complete with a smelter and mini-forge. Seeing it again brings a smile to Yiski's face.*
"Good to see that this is going to get used again. Even better that I'm not making bullets this time."
*Yiski then turns to Roland*
"So what material do you plan on using?"
"Tungsten."
"Hmm... good taste. Fairly malleable, durable, albeit expensive, but hell it's your wedding band. Alright, let's start you on the basics so you don't burn yourself or the warehouse down."
*Hours pass as Yiski teaches Roland the basics.*
Papa Paradox:
He walked into the saloon, going up to her, he lit up a cigar. He rested on the railing of the bar. He was holding a bouquet of white orchids in his large mechanical hand.
Finally Liu Zhao acknowledged his presence, "What do you want, ape?"
"Ta do nothin' more than apologize, ma'am." He said, his brogue slurring the words as he spoke.
She hesitantly accepted them.
and as quickly as she had grabbed them, Paradox started walking to a table where he sat down.
RearAdmiralZill:
-Saloon-
Ny-Lee and Jun'ko stood dumbfounded at Papa's apology. A small party of officers came in and they quickly dashed their thoughts to serve them. After finishing they get behind the bar and converse once more.
"So you ever going to marry Zill?"
"Oh, I don't know. With you two getting married, the thought has crossed my mind."
"He seems sincere. I doubt he's had many women in his life."
"That's true. Being an Admiral does eat up some time." *Chuckles*
"I still wonder what draws you to him. The mask can't be convenient."
"Its the eyes."
Ny-lee never though about that, and nodded. She never really noticed them and she felt kind of bad for only noticing the face.
-Port Tar Barrel-
By this hour, the men had set up flak and rocket batteries on the perimeter in case of attack. They were placing extra barbed wire along the fencing and shoring up and cracks in the outer wall. Squids with supplies flew in regularly, as three Galleons had set up shop in the large docks, along with seven Goldfish. Zill inspected as he went, and made sure resources were placed where needed. His personal radio went off and he answered.
"Recon team alpha reporting Admiral."
"You made good time Captain. Status?
"Eilius is quiet for now. We saw a few advance scouts but nothing major. We can hear distant fighting. I pray for Firnfeld."
"We all do. I take it that fighting is around Snowpeak?
"Confirmed. Wait a minute..."
"Captain?"
"Clouds have moved on and I can see the Republic Fleet. They aren't messing around."
"Confirmed numbers?"
"Three troop transports, five Galleons, over ten Junkers, sir this is massive."
"If they continue to your location, retreat back home. We need all the firepower we can muster. To Clear Skies"
Zill had that feeling again.
Captain Lockheart:
The Clouds cover the sun at this point in Lockhearts trip, the sky is very grey, this bodes bad weather and could delay his journey some more...
Flying through clouds Lockheart ad his crew are doing fine, singing sea shanties until...
*Looks around*
Lockheart :"Nope Nothing but clouds, i can't make out where we are.... so much for clear skies..."
Crewman : Cap'n What's that?
*Lockheart looks around, then clears his goggles*
Lockheart: I cant see it from here can you.........Shit...
*Lockheart sees a armada of Ships in a break in the could cover, they are still and facing the opposite direction to him, they sport Republican flags*
"they haven't seen us, dampen all the lights NOW!"
*the ship slowly brings its 2 portside guns to bear in the clouds should the worst happen*
*lockheart turns on his radio*
"S.O.S this is captain lockheart does anyone read me..., republic armada northwest of anvala, can hold out or fight over"
