In a dry tone, dripping with sarcasm, Alister answers Selenia.
"What gave it away? The extremely pale skin, or the accent?"
He adds a slight smile at the end to indicate no malice.
"And I was referring to unarmed sparing Ms. Selenia. I don't use swords often, hence why I carry the rather large axe."
Hangar Bay
"These guys,"
"Are good. Think we should,"
"Not with Alister and Alison aboard."
".....Good point, they'd know,"
"And they'd personally handle us."
The twins turn an odd shade of pale green.
"Allison's cooking,"
"Squid harness."
"We restrain ourselves."
"Agreed."

Selenia reflected for a few seconds about Carn's answer, and then replied:
"Unarmed sparring you say? Well, in that case is better not to involve Emil, he's quite an asshole when unarmed, always aiming low.
Oh, and I presumed you were anglean mostly by thinking "How would this man look like in heavy armour?". Both me and my partner have already met angleans, never unarmed tho, so it's quite a strange event for me to see one without armour, and that isn't aiming a gun at me."
She then looked on a wall, towards a wall clock.
"My my, look at the time! Goodbye mister, I got to save the sanity of my partner!"
Then she ran off towards the hangar, as she strongly suspected that Emil was still there.

He noticed the two men leaving.
The pilot was still coldly looking at him.
Emil in general was quite a gentleman, but that look she was giving him was extremely annoying.
While in fact when Selenia was around him he was almost perpetually in a good mood, when left alone he could be extremely lunatic.
"Then? I am still waiting for an answer."
His tone was getting very lordly and annoyed.
"Kindly."
He added.
He put a hand inside his duster, the other holding to a side pocket.

Hanger Bay
Still looking at Emil, Kei calls out behind to her mechanic, "Marie, how many of the launch bays did the engineering crew fixed from the battle?"
Looking over to the middle of their section, Marie notices that two of the bays are clear, while one is still damaged and the last one being finished at the moment.
"We got two up right now. A third being brought back to service in a few moments. Why do you ask?"
Walking towards her craft, she motions to Marie who comes forward, "Get Ansager here a suit and ready the fifth plane. I'll be loading mine into one of the bays."
With a sigh, Marie acknowledges the pilot and heads into the break room to the spare lockers.
In front of her plane, Kei says to Emil, "Well, it looks like you are going out. Now if you excuse me."
Getting on the wing, she walks around the Baron and opens the cockpit. Sitting in the seat, she goes over her controls before yelling to Farris, "You better get your bird ready as well. Still need to test it out."
With everything in order, Kei hops out and motions for help to get her plane into position.
"Looks like you are going out with the new guy," comments Courage as he walks towards Farris's plane.
"Don't remind me," he groans, "Hey where are you going?" after spotting the man.
"You heard Kei, preparing you plane. Sheesh you have a hearing problem as well?"
Rolling his eyes, Farris follows behind Courage who is already having fuel and ammo being loaded into the craft. Once topped off, they manuver their plane into the adjacent bay right next to Kei's who is all hooked up to the crane. Soon red warning lights and an alarm comes in as the floor underneath the first plane opens and the crane lowers the craft dropping it.
"She's out. Now hope you have a fun flight." Cpurage says to Farris as he enters the seat.
"Yeah yeah, just hook me up."
As Courage latches the hook on, Marie comes back from the break room with another flight suit and walks towards Emil.
"Here, you can get changed over in the break room," pointing to the space foward of the compartment," once you come out we'll have it ready."
Once Farris have been launched, Courage return back to Davis and Antonio. Wiping his brow, he sees the rest of the team move the third plane.
"So, when was the last time you guys shot a rifle? I'm going to practice on the Weather Deck, want to give it a go?

From his post, the navigator looks down on his map and out of the ship and notices a lake coming into view. Turning around in his chair he informs the three, "Looks like we just reached Truth Lake. From our current course and speed, we could reach Albys by the end of the day."
"Thank you Mr. Martin." says Frey. To Reagan, "Looks like we are moving along on schedule. But I do believe that this should put the crew's mind elsewhere until then."
"Umm Sirs and Ma'am," starts Martin, "You want to see this."
Intrigued, Frey walks towards the navigator and looks out of the window. There he notices a burning wreckage on the sand dunes just north of the lake.
"Looks fresh, might be Lord Ansager's vessel. Mr. Allen"
"Yes Commander."
"Infrom either Kasparov or Culvin to retrieve anything of value on that wreck."
"Will do." the man answers before dialing in the two escorts.
Crimsom Dragoon
"I understand," says Alexi on his radio, "Culvin and I will inspect the vessel."
"Thank you Captain Kasparov" was the final thing Allen says before cuttin out.
"So you heard all that right? Cause I'm not repeating that again." the older Guild man says to his partner."
"Yes, yes. Go down and check it out. It seems like some people underestimate my intellect."
Rolling his eyes, Alexi guns the throttles on his Galleon and slowly picks up speed to catch up to theJunker who is already ahead.

Pulling out a spyglass, Alister zooms in on the wreckage.
"There appears to be people scuttling around in the wreckage. Possibly the one who downed them. Radio Alexi and Culvin to arm their men."

Hangar launch bays
Emil, with an eye twitching and a hand still in the coat, starts walking towards the change room.
Like a white glint, a figure dashes trough the room, reaches Emil from behind and supplex him.
With a thud, Emil head and shoulders impact on the ground, finally taking out of the coat his hand.
"You seriously need to be more relaxed when I'm not around."
I was actually Selenia who supplexed him.
"Ugh. Just. Let. Me. Go."
"What are going to do now?"
"Change in a pilot suit and take a plane out for a try."
"Take care."
In a few minutes Emil takes off his whole suit of bulletproof armour, and wear a pilot suit.
After coming out of the change room he directly goes for the aircraft that had been assigned to him, opens the cockpit and gets in.
That plane was clearly anvalan: various, yet intuitive, indicators were everywhere, the cockpit granted a quite large field of view, yet it wasn't too much exposed.
The radio system wasn't difficult to find either.
"Bridge, Lord Ansager here, aircraft 5 is ready to take off and waiting for permission."
He readied the craft's engine and the take-off catapult.
"Roger... ehm..." Chatter could be heard on the bridge, surely the operator was informing himself about who this man was. "..Lord Ansager, you are clear to take off."
"Taking off."
Engine roaring, the craft was shot in the air.
Quickly doing a low yo-yo to gain speed, Emil then flew straight for a few seconds, and then started climbing, trying to retain as much energy as he could.
He heard the chatter on the bridge radio about a shipwreck.
"Have we come near the wreckage of my Barricade?"
"Uh, yes, and there are scavengers around it."
"Nobody. Touches. My. Ship." He thought angrily.
"Does this craft any weapons?"
