Burning Skies Saloon
Yiski:
--Academy Armory--
*Since Roland left, Yiski gathered a few gunsmiths to make an experimental bullet. After a few makes, Yiski is satisfied with the current design. It's a Sunburst round scaled down to the size of a standard issue rifle (think B.A.R. caliber) with a tungsten coating over a full metal jacket (FMJ) casing. Yiski knew this round would have more piercing capacity than his previous models.*
*Outside on the firing range, Yiski has a standard rifle in hand with a few tungsten rounds loaded.*
"Okay, bring is some armor for me to shoot at. Uh.. let's start with spire armor."
*A few trainees brought a 2 1/2 inch plate of standard spire armor. Yiski sat at a range of roughly 600 meters. Yiski adjusted the scope of the rifle.*
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
*Yiski let lose a round. It hits dead center. Yiski waits for a moment, but the signature red smoke isn't to be seen.*
"That's odd, there should've been..."
*Suddenly in the distance behind the range's wall, Yiski could see the red smoke rising over the wall.*
"Oh hell this can't be good."
*Yiski went up to the plate and noticed the round made a clean pierce through the armor. He then kept following the trajectory and noticed the bullet had also pierced through the solid three feet stone wall. Yiski stood there scratching his head when the other gunsmiths also looked at the damaged caused.*
"So, apparently I've just created armor piercing ammo for infantry which can easily eat through spire armor. Hmm... let's try prya armor next."
"Sir, shouldn't we report the damage to the Council?"
"Meh, we'll report it all at once."
*Further test showed the tungsten rounds could do serious damage to pyramidion armor. While the round did not pierce all the way through, the subsequent explosion was enough to make a hole and create additional cracks around the point of impact. If Yiski wasn't already smiling, he'd start laughing to where his sides hurt.*
"Alright. This was a success. Now time to up the ante. Tomorrow we'll try makin' these for a merc and test it against galleon armor."
"Should we report these to the Council?"
"Yeah, but one of you is makin' the report. I hate writin'."
*Yiski left the Academy and headed back to the saloon for the rest of the day. He was happy. Tomorrow he was going to see the tungsten rounds demolish galleon armor.*
--City Center--
*While Yiski was working on his now successful tungsten rounds, Roland decided to walk around the main market sector. While he walked, he had a hand in the pocket where the almost finished bands were. He rolled his fingers around them and smiled as he did. The young man was proud he made his own wedding bands and knew his future wife would appreciate them more.*
"Roland, is that you?"
*Roland turned to see Liu, Ny-Lee, BdrLine off to the side.*
"Roland, I thought you were still training?"
"Well, Yiski gave me the rest of the day off. He stayed behind because he got an idea."
*BdrLine shivered for a moment.*
"That can't be good for us and even more so for those his creations are used on."
*Roland turns back to Ny-Lee.*
"What brings you out here?"
"Oh we're getting BdrLine fitted for a new suit."
"Well then I need to come along."
"Do you need a suit, love?"
"Yes, considering I do not own one."
*Liu and Ny-Lee are shocked. The two immediately grab Roland and start dragging him toward a tailor. BdrLine chuckles.*
"At least I won't be miserable alone."
*As the four rush off, they failed to notice the red smoke rising in the late afternoon sky.*
RearAdmiralZill:
-Saloon-
Once word got out that Zill was running the Burning Skies tonight, people flocked from all over to be served by him for once. Of course, he wasn't having that and simply lined up random brews along the bar, and for a flat fee you got what you got. Patron's thought they were getting cheap drinks, but a few WSWs and Sake Bombs later, they realized their miscalculations. It had turned into pure amusement for Zill and Jun.
She was still playing the piano. The sane regulars huddled around to watch and sing along. Those still conscious, despite the new drinking system, conversed and had a grand time. One new guy tried to come onto Jun'ko, despite patrons' warnings. Of course Zill just threw him into a wall, forgetting they didn't break. Then he threw him out the front as an example. Jun'ko could only laugh as the music played and patrons sang.
Skyraider:
*Sky laughs and comments*
So Zill, having a fun time managing the Saloon? Also you won't have to worry about one of my trainees crashing into a building, most of them have experience AND we'll be flying away from the city for practice. Only flying over it a few times for formations and such.
*Sky then writes down something and passes it to Zill*
"These are the coordinates to where we'll be flying, feel free to watch the fireworks."
Yiski:
*Yiski walks back into the saloon after a satisfying day.*
"What this I hear about fireworks Sky? You know how I feel about those things anywhere near my saloon."
*Yiski turned to Zill.*
"Good news for you."
"Aside from sticking me on saloon duty."
*Yiski gave Zill a stoic expression.*
"Funny. I think I found a new ammo which could decimate any armor. Should be useful if you go off on any missions."
Skyraider:
*To Yiski*
"I am referring to the area where my trainees will be practicing, they'll be doing dive bombing and aerial combat."
*Sky realizes what Yiski said about the ammunition and suddenly becomes interested*
"Wait, whats this about a new type of munition? I could be able to use it depending on its weight and if actually works."
