Uncharted Skies
Carn:
Cargo Bay
Alister looks up and sees Koali carrying several dangerous looking contraptions. "Armory, provided they are weapons. First, show me what it is. After that, I'll need to introduce you to the modifications to the ship." He turns back and finishes the last bit of filigree for the ship's name. "The Kibeth has been modified marauder style. Gaige is familiar with it, I highly doubt you are."
Brig
"Hmm, let me think....AH I know!" Clearing his throat, Jasper begins another of his rhymes designed to demoralize his captors. A ventriloquist of some slight skill, he is able to throw his voice to an empty set of tubes which are used to communicate across large vessels such as these. "One, two, three, four, someone's knocking at the door. Five, six, seven, eight, the birds have come to seal your fate. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, down into fear you shall delve. Twelve, eleven, ten, nine, the days grow short and your minds are mine. Eight, seven, six, five, deep into your psyche I shall dive. Four, three, two, one, the nights are long and your lives are done............."
Cargo Bay
"Dammit!" Going over to the pipe set, Carn bellows into it. "We haven't even taken off yet, and you already are trying me! Keep this up Briggs, and to hell with it all! I'll shove you screaming into and running engine, then detonate it!" Closing the pipe, Alister comes back over to Koali. "Now kid, what are these things?"
Corridor
"Wait, was that Jasper?"
"Sounds even creepier than usual."
"I didn't know he was crewing on this job too."
"Actually, I heard that there's a max security prisoner on here. I think it may be him."
Right after they finish this short conversation, Alister's reply comes through the pipes.
"Yeah, it's definitely Jasper in the brig."
"Briggs is in the brig?"
"Don't. Ever. Make that joke again."
Koali:
With a flourish, Koali activates the mechanism on one of the axes and the blades slide into position in axe form.
"That's not all. It absorbs kinetic energy in axe form, which it then lets out..."
Yet another flourish and the axe becomes a sword.
"In sword form! It's a little heavy to use, so I don't recommend it against an armed, able-bodied human opponent, but against anything else..."
Koali leans closer.
"Like those bird things..."
Koali leans back out.
"It should do just fine!"
Carn:
Cargo Bay
Alister looks at the switch axe, then to his axe. He repeats this process several times, summing up this confabbed contraption against his tried and true brute. "I'll stick with my brute. Put them in a pile over there for now," He says, indicating a spot where the empty leather bags are.b"not on the bags thank you. Then come over here. Your going to receive a crash course in basic marauder squids. If your lucky, you won't actually crash." He says in the sadistic deadpan humor favored by sergeants the world over, when teaching a greenhorn something that is very easy to get injured.
Brig
"Stuff me in a engine, then detonate it? Honestly, not a spectacular threat Al. Ah well, I'll let the good man have his fun for now."
BdrLineAzn:
Eagle's Shadow, Cargo Bay
Seeing that the deckhands have set up the ladder and beginning to add stencils, Frey walks up the gangplank into the cargo bay and sees Koali with his sword-axe.
"Impressive, just keep an eye on that, we don't want to lose limbs before we set off."
He then turns to the Squid currently sitting idle and takes a walk around it while inspecting the craft.
"Well Mr. Carn, I know their several spec ops that would grapple onto other ships, some of my ships back north being a few, but I never seen the likes of this. Maurader style?"
Then he hears the rhyme coming through the pipes and Remembered that they have a guest on board.
Sighing, "I think we may need to pay our friend a visit, care to join," Frey ask Carn.
Somewhere in the City
Putting on a genuine smile, Courage nudges her back, "Dalhia, do you know that you are amazing person. Thank you."
Looking down the road, Courage wonders how far until they are at the warehouse. Looking up to the sky he sees that the sun is directly overhead, maybe slightly lower to the west.
"We almost there yet? My arms are staring to ache."
Carn:
Cargo Bay
"Certainly sir." Turning back to Koali he says. "Just load them in the armory. I'll show you what you'll need to know later." Alister begins to walk with Frey down to the brig. "Yes, the harnesses are designed so one can repel of the ship in flight. Very useful when you enemies are scrambling to get to their artillery, then there's suddenly a half-dozen heavily armed, and heavily pissed off soldiers point their guns at them. Having leaped over the ship. There's a special mechanism that slows you down, so you have both hands available for your weapons. I've also rigged another modification so it is able to carry, and drop, bombs. Either four, 100 lb bombs, or one 400 lb bomb. I also found the time to get the name on her."
