Uncharted Skies

[ShadedExalt]

"I have 12 years experience on airships, and 16 being a tinker.  I am not changing a single thing major thing, just efficiency upgrades.  Tweaking blade angle, air/fuel mixtures, which were unsuprisingly perfect already, plate mesh, balloon pressure, just by a tiny bit all around.  Carn knows his stuff, everything was nigh perfect, just a slight bit off.  Any anomalies that are so off they're there for a reason I'm leaving alone.  If he has a bone to pick, he can see for himself what I've done."

[Carn]

Cargo Bay

"Just ask before you tinker on his ship. He can be quite territorial believe me. After we started dating, he dangled the first guy who made a pass ate, over a running galleon engine."

Warehouse

"That was my plan anyways. Didn't know if you knew a place though." Alister thinks for a minute then looks around. "Wait a second, Captain Henley? Now I remember, I was hired by some scavengers a few years back. They kept complaining about you. Always got the good loot, and high paying jobs."

It was not Alex who responded but Richard, "Maybe, we just got lucky, lucky enough to stay afloat for all these years."

"Richard stop making me feel old."

He shrugged, "In any case, we've come across our fair share of pointless wrecks and useless cargo."

[Carn]

Warehouse

"Maybe these guys were just new. They seemed kinda young and inexperienced. They wanted someone who knew how to shoot back at raiders, and they were paying decent coin."

The Warehouse

"It's nice seeing you again as well, better than the first meeting when I was in here," Courage says to Alex as he places the bags he was carrying down onto an open table.

Stretching his sore muscles, he finds a chair and starts to take off his prosthetic before he realise there were still other around him, "Sorry, do you guys mind? I been carrying around that load for a while."

Courage points to the bag while giving a stern glare to Lorena.

Eagle's Shadow

Finding himself looking over the same material several times, Frey is bored out of his mind. Even as an officer of the Baron Military which has a image of poise and elgance, he yearns to get out of his stuffy uniform and don his field fatigues.

I hate being the front man for this operation, he thinks to himself as he stands from the chair he was sitting, Why did Melin choose me again? Oh right to allow myself to heal properly since office work is much safer, glad they don't know I'm going.

Walking out of the command room, Frey roams around the transport keeping his off the mission at hand. Passing the armory, he hears several voices which prompts him to look in.

"This is quite a stash in here," he observes as he passes the bulkhead.

Warehouse

"I don't mind. I've seen my fair share of missing limbs. Removed most of them, but still."

Armory

"This the bossman?"

"Judging by the commander ranking on the uniform, I'd think so."

Armoury

Noting who is currently in the room, Frey recognises the young teen, Gaige, Amelia, and the twins he pass by earlier when departing the cargo bay.

"Yes I'm the one who commissioned this expidition, but I won't be leading the teams. That will be Mr. Carn's and Captain Morgan's decision. And who might you two be?" he asks the twins.

The Warehouse

"Well it is their warehouse," states Courage to Carn. To Alex,"Ypu guys won't mind right? How about you Dalhia?" he finishes quietly to her.

[Carn]

Armory

"James."

"John."

And then in sync, "The Raven twins. Descendents of a royal bastard of he baronies."

Warehouse

Shrugging, Alister wanders over to the side to inspect the myriad of equipment.

"Do what you need to." Alex said nodding to him. Dahlia gave him a smile and nodded.

"Right, now that that's settled," Alex said as he began to rifle through various sections of the warehouse, "Lets find those howitzers." Once again the crew groaned. "I am not letting that go."

"So," Alex said as he passed by Carn, "been in the city long?

--Armory--

"Commander, a pleasure." Amelia said as she finished the rack and moved on to organizing boxes of ammunition. "If I may ask, what brings you here?" 

[Carn]

Warehouse

"No, only about a week, and we're to set out tomorrow. I haven't stayed in one place for more than a week, for the last four years. Always got a new job. So I don't even rent a place, let alone own a house. The benefits of no permanent residence however," Alister grins a rather mischievous grin. "Is that I don't pay taxes. And I have a nice fat bank account."

Armory

"Hey how is cousin Greg doing anyway commander?"

"We haven't heard much since the failed attempt to overthrow him."

[ShadedExalt]

"Ahh, you must be the man who put all this together.  Pleasure to meet you, I'm Gaige.  What brings you over here?"

[Piemanlives]

--The Warehouse, South Docks--

Alex finished sifting through and found nothing. Phillip was still digging through the... back catalog of items they had laying around.

"We've been here... a year or so. Used to be that we'd be all over the place, Chaladon, The Burren, still, a ship's no place to live your entire life and I've already spent enough of my life going from one place to another." He eyed Lorena who was sitting and talking with Dahlia and Courage, laughing at some joke he couldn't hear. "Far too much of it." He said under his breath.

[Carn]

Warehouse

"Couldn't have been easy away from your family. Still, you have one. My dad died before I was even born, fighting against a raider tribe who were based farther north than our maps go. Then my mom died giving birth to me. After that, my uncle raised me, but he died when I was seven. I can't blame you for wanting a place to call home."

He smirked, "We all apparently lead interesting lives. Should probably annoy Reagan about that."

"Are we still bothering her about nearly getting us arrested?" Richard called over from where he was cataloging the haul.

"Another time." He said, "Still, it was probably worse on my parents, finding that their child has run away from home, chased by the hired muscle of a Yeshan trading house."

[Carn]

"You know Reagan?" Alister drags his hand down his face, and groans slightly. "I have to share command with her. Any advice?"
