RearAdmiralZill:
Zill waved to Sky, but was too intrigued by Yiski's designs. Some were too complicated, but some did have merit. He grinned at the thought of their tactical use.
"I hope some of these smaller ones come into focus. Our rear is lighter simply due to our normal flak battery's size. If we can get more, lighter alternatives, it would become quite the gauntlet."

Jun'ko chatted with Ny-Lee about her dress.
"So tell me what it looks like! Oh better yet, you need to show me some time!"

BdrLineAzn:
*Ny-Lee passes out a few drinks to some people that came in*
*Once she handed the last one, she goes to Jun*

"Oh I won't forget. But you should have seen the gown, even it took the whole evening, it was gorgeous."

*The door opens and BdrLine goes in*

"Hey brother. Let me guess, a Hellfire. And where is mother. "

*BdrLine goes to the bar and take a seat*

"Hey Ny, Jun, Zill, and yes you know me too well."

*Ny-Lee goes and hands a mug to him*

"It's one of the few drinks you actually drink here, anything other then that something bad happens to you."

"Yeah yeah *Sacastically* But mother, she out in the center looking for decorations and to send out the invitation"

*Takes a sip*

Yiski:
--Academy Armory--

*Sky and Yiski arrive at the armory. There Yiski drops a few designs off to the gunsmiths and glances over at the bullet press. Yiski spots a few merc rounds and Yiski smiles when he notices they've got the tungsten coating.*

"Commander, I see you've managed to spot the rounds. We made them overnight and they're ready for testing."

"Perfect. Set up galleon armor and give it double... er triple thickness. We can't have the round pierce through the range wall again."

"Understood."

*Sky and Yiski head out to the range and watch as a few trainees line up three 4" plates against each other. Since the mercury was going to be used, the each armor plate was about the size of a person. A gunsmith brought out the tungsten rounds for firing. Yiski placed the mercury about 1 km and loaded the mercury.*

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

*The shot rang out, but there was an unforeseen consequence: The additional propellant used gave the mercury a much stronger recoil and knocked Yiski back, almost dislocating his shoulder. Sky went up to the plates to inspect the damage. Yiski rubbed his shoulder.*

"Skies, that had a kick to it. Make a note fellas, we gotta redesign a mercury to handle this recoil."

*Yiski walked up to Sky whose jaw was dropped. Yiski then looked at what Sky's was looking at and his jaw dropped too. Upon further inspection, the group figured the tungsten round had pierced the first plate easily and lodged itself into the second plate. The explosion created a massive hole in the second plate, warped metal around the entry of the first plate, and dented the third plate.*

"So, I'll call this a success. So Sky, you think you could use this on your planes?"


*Meanwhile, Roland found himself at an engraver's workshop. After talking to the head engraver, the two agreed the engraver would polish and detail the two wedding bands. Roland would be able to pick up the bands tomorrow. Pleased with their agreement and the price, Roland hurried back to the saloon to help out Ny-Lee.*

BdrLineAzn:
*BdrLine finishes his Hellfire and takes a look around the room*
*He notices that two bartenders are missing from the scene*

"Hey Ny where is Yiski and Roland? Are you the only one work today?"

*Ny-Lee replaces her brothers mug and hives him a fresh one*

"For now yes. Yiski is out at the armoury taking some blueprints and my Roland is out doing something wedding related."

*BdrLine shrugs in acceptance of the answer and takes the new mug*
*He turns to Zill who is looking at some designs of somesort, puzzled he asks*

"So Zill looking at something interesting?"

Yiski:
*Roland enters the saloon and sees Ny-Lee working. Just as he approaches her, Ny-Lee sees him and dashes to him and jumps into him. Roland catches her and places her back down. Roland and Ny-Lee laugh and kiss each other.*

"I guess you missed me darling?"

"Yup. Your wedding plans going well?"

"Yes."

"Still not going to tell me, are you?"

"Nope." *Roland kisses her.* "You will have to wait."

*While the couple get lost in each others' gaze, BdrLine turns away from the love and downs his Hellfire.*
