--START OF DAY 62--

--NARRATOR--

It was mid-afternoon when the team finally arrived in Anvala's port. During their return flight, Jun'ko had done most of the piloting and forcing Zill to rest. Now, Zill had recovered enough be walk on his own, albeit slowly. As Then It Was Fixed Again and M'Naghten Returns docked, the team departed from their ships. Waiting for them was a group of Council Elite Guards.

Admiral Zill. The Council requests your presence immediately regarding the recent events.

Zill grimaced.

Really? Can't they leave me to rest for one day? I'd like to get some rest and drink before then.

I'm sorry, but the request was made urgent.

Fine.

Do you want me to come along?

No. I won't be long.

Zill leaves the Port along with the guards. Yiski is the next person to start walking out of the Port.

What, you think I'm going to sit here all day and not see if my beloved saloon isn't rebuilt yet? You comin' folks?

I'll met up with you all shortly. I'm going to do some checks on the ships. I feel like they could some more work.

Really brother, after all this you're just going to sit here in the docks?

Sadly, BdrLine had already left and got a group of workers together and headed for the warehouse. Ny-Lee sighed.

Come on, darling. Let us go see if our saloon is there.

I'd love for it to be there and better. I could use a drink.

I second that.

Third.

The team, minus Zill and BdrLine, make their way to the Western District to where the saloon used to stand. When they arrived at the location they see a brand new saloon with a wooden board over a concrete building "Burning Skies Saloon". Everyone was surprised at the new building, but not nearly as Yiski who was mentally squealing like a schoolgirl.

By the glorious skies, it's gorgeous.

I have to say the foreman did an excellent job.

I'm glad you think so.

The group turns and sees the foreman with a grin on his face.

We finished the rebuilding a few days back. As you can see, the new saloon is much more sturdy and sleek. And if you love the exterior, just wait till you get inside.

The foreman hands Yiski the keys to the building. Yiski unlocks and enters his saloon and his jaw drops. The interior of the saloon had smooth hardwood floors, the support pillars were now concrete, the bar counter was made of Ridge Redwood (uncommon and expensive), the tables were brand new. What made Yiski laugh is the couch which had seen so much action was still sitting there against the stairwell. Yiski wandered into the back and saw all of his equipment was set back. Yiski walked to the front window and saw the sign and clicked to where the saloon was open. He then yelled to the other outside.

What you want me to shoot some fireworks or somethin'? Get in here! Yup, it'd definitely good to be home.

--NARRATOR END--

Shinkurex:
*Astonished by the new saloon, Shink steps inside, and finds where his usual corner was. The foreman must've known that this was Shink's place, as he had reinforced everything in that corner*

"This is freaking awesome!"

*Shink takes a seat, and the stress of the journey seemed to disappear entirely*

"Yiski! There is no better way to break this place in, than to order a round of White Steam Whiskey"

-Narrator-

The walk to the Council Hall felt like ages for Zill. As agitated as he was for being summoned as soon as they landed, he was determined to make it a quick meeting so that he could rest.

The Elites escorted him to the Council Chambers. There the Council was prepared to receive him.

Greeting my Council.

(1-9) Greetings Admiral.

(1) You have been summoned here so that we may congratulate you for your success against the wicked Birdmen.

I thank you. I trust the Yeshan Emperor has contacted you?

(6) Indeed. Thanks to your efforts, they wish to expand their trade with us, and offer three Galleons to join our fleet.

Great news for our fine City. However, this is not all you wish to discuss with me.

(3) Always quick to the point Admiral. We have learned that in Izumi, you discovered a rather large record of Birdmen and Guild research. We wished to see these records for the betterment of the Council.

Unfortunately the book was destroyed along with my vessel. And to be frank its best that way. The research they performed, and implemented, was very twisted, and not something the Council should be investigating.

(9) We will be the judge of what we will and won't do, Admiral. Since the book is lost however, we will not discuss it any further.

(1) The matter of your Northern mission is also of importance today.

Zill cringed. He was on wits end with this meeting and was barely holding back his true emotion.

What of it?

(7) A recon of the Republic Fleet's recent movements cannot go ignored. If they raid Firnfeld, the proximity to our beloved City will make us a prime target.

Surely one of my officers can handle such a task as recon.

(3) If they do intend to raid, than you will be tasked to block any movement to the south. The last raids from them cost us much.

That they did. As you can see however, I am in no state to fly immediately. I will perform your request but only on my time. Rest assured I know the severity of the situation and will handle it.

(9) Very well. Do give your friends our regards. Yiski and Papa in particular.

To clear Skies.

Zill leaves the Chambers and slowly heads to the Saloon. His mind wanders from topic to topic. He aches at the thought of anything right now except a stiff drink and good company. These things can wait till tomorrow.
