Hangar Bay

"Alright lads, we're going to circle over some wreckage awhile, then begin our shift.  Keep your guns loaded, and your spyglasses out."

Pointing to the engineer from before, Alister asks him his name.

"Otto Smith sir."

"Well Mr. Smith,  as I know you are capable, you get to main.  Keep the mine launcher loaded with lesmok."

Pointing to the other two, Alister tells them their stations.

"You take front, keep greased rounds in the gatling for now.  And you take the side, load the banshee with burst.  Standard repair kits, aside from Mr. Smith who will be taking buff. Any questions?"

"No sir."

"Nope."

"What are the harnesses for?"

The last question was from the youngest engineer.

"Lad, those are for repelling off the ship.  At full speed.  While being shot at. Any more questions?"

All these shake their heads.

"Good, set up.  I want to be in the skies in less than five minutes."

Crimson Dragoon

With a massive thud, the Galleon touches down onto the level ground just a few meters from the wreck. The crackeling of a fire is heard and any semblance of the craft is mangled as metal is strew everywhere.

Going down the stairs to the compartment directly below, Alexi stands in front of a wall
Inked with lockers and starts to open two. Coming from the gun deck, his crew stands idle waiting for orders. What they didn't expect was to be thrown a rifle by Alexi as pulls them out to all three. Same with a backpack and ammo belt to the three, he grabs the same armament and equipment before closing the metal container.

"Alright," Alexi says while turning around and unbolting the rifle. Loading a clip, he returns the bolt back to its original position and starts down the stairwell, "Let's go, we are burning time."

Dropping a rope ladder down the aft end of the ship near the turning engines, the four climbs down quickly and is soon by the wreck in 15 minutes.

Grabbing his portable radio, Alexi calls in on all frequencies to conduct the search, "Kasparov here, my men and I are at the land wreck. Anything of value that I should find?"

"I agree.", comes Ulric, "I made my way to my portion and it looks like some of it is underwater. I'm suiting up to dive in."

Eagle's Shadow, Bridge

"Umm hmm, wait one." came Allen's reply.

Turning his chair around, the faces both Reagan and Frey, "Sir, what are we finding?" to the Commander.

"Have all scouts been retrieved?" Frey asks.

"Yes just a few moments ago."

"Make a call to have Lord Ansager to come to the Bridge, he'll should know."

"Roger," giving a small salute and turning back to man the PA system ,"Lord Ansager, you are needed at the Bridge. I repeat, Lord Ansager, you are needed at the Bridge."

Weather Deck

Finally having everything situated, Courage arrives topside to find his team all on the starboard most forward end of the transport. Curious, he makes his way to the small crowd and see what they were staring at. The Transport turned slightly to port to make the starboard guns ready to cover the ground team as they have a wide view of the area.

"Looks like you made it on time," says Theodore who finally notices the man.

"Yeah...anyone has a spyglass?" he requested.

Brig

After much deliberation between his three other raider compatriots, the one next to Jsaper's cell agrees to join and help escape.

"Goodie, we must wait for the right time..."

Jasper stops mid sentence as it looks like he is trying to feel something. The four others notices it as well and are about to asks but is cutoff by a hand. Placing his other hand to the bulkhead, Jasper listens tentatively by placing his ear onto the metal. Feeling no vibrations, his eyes goes wide with joy.

Grinning, he looks at his new partners, "It maybe time yet." finishing with a grin.

Galley

"Lord Ansager, you are needed to the bridge. I repeat, Lord Ansager you are needed to the bridge."

While munching a piece of meat Emil turns to face Selenia.
"Did I do something wrong?"

"Maybe they want to ask about the wreckage of the Hammer."

"Uh, right, the ship. Well, I should get on my way..."
He starts walking, then stops on its track.
"Do you know where is the bridge?"

"Yeah, follow me."

Bridge

"Lord Ansager reporting. What am I needed for?"

--Weather Deck--

"Ms. Belle?"

"Yeah?" Janet swept her hair back again, the wind blowing it into her face every so often. Amelia, with her bun, didn't have this issue.

"How is it that things would end up this way?" Amelia set her carbine against her shoulder as the two of them leaned against the ship's railing. Both of them adjusting their coats as the wind picked up again.

"What the watch duty?" She reached inside her coat and pulled out a cigarette, "No idea."

Silence fell between the two of them as she lit up, blowing a puff of smoke that dissipated shortly afterward.

"Hey Amy?"

"Amelia Ms. Belle."

"Well Amy, did you see that?" Amelia turned to see her companion staring intently out into the distance.

"Ms. Belle?" Amelia tried staring into the distance but saw nothing but the endless expanse of sandy terrain.

"Ms. Belle, what do you see? Janet?"

"Amy, do you see it?"

Amelia raised an eyebrow. "What am I searching for?"

"Well, it's just that..." Janet turned to her, "I see something out there, and it begins with s."

--Engineering--

Marcus Graham was having an interesting day, since he woke up he had been terrified by the head of engineering, the incredibly muscular and bearded James Crowe. Since then he had been creeped out by a strange women who came as soon as she went, which was very he reminded himself. Being dragged about by another engineer who seemed to know his stuff? Wasn't half as weird as the other stuff.

"Well, nothing was scratched during the last 'battle,'" he did air quotes with fingers, "if you could even call that a battle, word going around the ship is our scouts are a bunch of showy badasses, no idea though, haven't seen them fly." The two of them continued through engineering, him reading off the points of prominent strain on the system.

"Captain had us at full power for a bit, some of that strain caused a few minor ruptures, some areas are still being worked on from last night."

He closed the notebook, "Other than that, since 'Our Lady of Engineering' has awoken things have been going pretty smoothly, not to say things didn't previously... but... well... ya know, swabbies being swabbies..." That was when he and Gaige spotted Crowe and Tucker standing before the furnace, two pairs of gloves on a shovel poised at it's entrance.

"Any last words Lorena?" Crowe looked at the gloves solemnly.

Lorena, hand over heart, furnace light reflecting off her skin, looked at the gloves. "They did their duty to the last. Toss em." The two of them chucked them into the furnace and shut the door.

--Bridge--

Reagan maneuvered the Shadow into a holding position high above the wreckage of the vessel. She had decided to let their escorts deal with salvaging the vessel while the Shadow remained alert. Someone had to after all. With their vessel at a stand still she could feel the slight sway as the wind buffeted the vessel. A vessel of this size wouldn't be affected all that much but it was one of the telling signs they were still in the air, as much as they had to worry about that at this moment.

Lord Ansager entered through the bridge door, his traveling companion having returned with him, thankfully he didn't seem all that much worse for wear. Something she could be thankful for, it would probably be a mess of paperwork if something happened to him. She gave the two of them a slight nod as she continued about her duties.

BdrLineAzn:
Bridge

"Ahh greetings you two," Frey acknowledges as Emil and Selenia enters the Bridge, "As you already know we are above your wreck and currently searching it. Is there anything of value that is worth retrieving?"

Weather Bay

As Courage eyes both teams on the ground, he can't help but overhear a conversation a few feet from his position. Turning he sees both Amelia and another female, most likely someone who worked for the Bridge.

"I see something out there, and it begins with s," the female says.

Tilting his head with a huff, he eyes the pair, "Really?"
