--Eagle's Shadow, Frey Quarters
0000, Day 6--
Leaning on the door's entrance, Courage, with tired eyes, watches as Frey shifts through the manifest he was given. In the corner the Baron's radio is on playing classical music from his homeland.
"So Master Fyodor just simply gave us a whole new squadron of planes?" with a hit of surprise in his voice.
Yawning, Courage covers it with a hand, "Well after various checks with the Aircraft Mechanic, she passed the Chaladon build and he approved the whole shipment and even oversaw the delivery."
"That's some good news. You should get some rest, if you haven't notice I gave the crew today off. We'll be departing in the next 24 hours though."
"It did seem quiet here. Well I'm off then, today has been long." with a two finger salute, Courage leaves the room as Frey over looks the papers again.
--Fyodor Hall--
"I hope this mission you help sponsor will pay off, I already paid to have a squadron of Spitfires be delivered to their ship." in his radio room, Fyodor is rubbing his forehead stressed out.
"Don't worry, the Captain Frey is on that voyage, shoud be fine. Besides we need that stain out of our history, any help that we can provide is priority." a female voices comes through.
"Still don't know why you are there and not me. Aren't I the most qualified and have our Factions best interests?"
"And that is why you should be there still. After the Yeshean Incident, the public needs someone to trust to look after them. I'm just the next qualified and available to be here in Cathedral."
"If you say so Councilwoman. Ugh it doesn't even suit you."
"Come on Uncle, dont be like that." laughs Alishia.
Sighing, "Does even your father know about this? Robért is a tough man to negotiate at times."
"Oh no, oh no, he doesn't not know at all, and he shouldn't. If he found out I gave access for a Baron military vessel this deep within our borders, he will go mad."
"Still distrust them. I can see that. If that is all, just keep me updated."
"Will do Uncle."
Hanging the receiver, letting out another sigh, Fyodor looks to the table next to him and pours a shot of rum that was there ealier.
--Eagle's Shadow, Weather Deck
0600
"That's a little low." says Courage though a scope.
"How was that low! It is dead center!" cries Theodore.
In the early dawn, Courage, Theodore, and several others are topside with a makeshift range set up. Using Courage's Defenders Pistol and revolver, several of the onlookers snicker at the younger man's dilemma.
"Just because you used to be an Anvalan Guardsmen, doesn't mean you all godly and accurate. That last shot is dead on I'm the center."
With a smirk, Courage takes the revolver from him, "How about a bet, if I can make a center shot, you are buying my lunch."
"And if you don't, then you pay."
"Deal." he agrees with a hand extended.
Shaking it, Theodore looks him in the eye, "You know, I feels like steak."
Smiling and without breaking eye contact, Courage lifts up the revolver and fire a single shot.
"Steak is fine, and I believe you are paying."
Confused, Theodore and another rush over to the target and an audible groan is heard.
"It is just 1 mm under my shot...."

--Fyodor's Guildhall--
"You three, get the west corridor. I'll take another team to the east. Find those intruders!" screamed the head of security.
A chorus of of "Yes Sirs" come from the three as they pull out their night stick in one hand and a radio in another. Since their scene in the lobby, Courage and his ragtag group are running wild in the massive building trying to find it's owner. There were several close calls with the guards who happen to be in the area unknowing of the situation. After picking up one of their radios, Farris overhears a transmission.
"Double up the patrols. These maniacs need to be caught" came the rough voice of the security head.
"One thing for sure, we are maniacs." Farris agrees, "Why did you talk us into this?"
"Hey he owns me and several of my friends big time. Besides he will agree oncei tell him the purpose of why we need them." Courage calls back while still running and closing in on a door.
Behind him closely, Marie catches up and pulls his collar stopping him, "All this trouble for scouting planes for a surveying mission. I don't think that is a valid reason."
Letting him go, she crosses her arms and wait for Antonio and Farris to catch up, "Before we continue, what is really going on? I should havve suspected something as you, out of the entire crew, keeps being called by the Captain for meetings. And you are some ex guard of sorts."
Hearing the yells of security coming down the hall, Courage looks at the woman and over her seeing the shadows coming around the corner, "Ok, this is not a surveying mission per say. There is more to it, I'll explain once we are back to the ship. Right now we to find Fyodor and not get caught."
Grabbing the handle, Courage pulls and tries to walk in before falling over someone.
"What in the world is this!!" came an familiar voice, "Ohh, you again...."
Rubbing his head, Courage tries to stand up before being detained by the buildings security.
"My apologies Master Fyodor, these four where seen trying to break in. Don't worry we'll take them away." The head of security explains.
Sighing, Fyodor says to the man, "Release them." earning several huh's from security and Courage's group.
"This young fellow here is Mr. Bell, a very close associate of one of the Zhaos." he explains, "If he is here, then he must have something important."
With a smug smile on his face, the security lets him and his group go before saying one last apology. Once gone, Fyodor turns to the group.
"Well if you are here, follow me. Must be really important if you are willing to cause my security to go on a wild goose chase." He says with a wave before going through the door Courage opened.
"You know a Zhao?" whispers Anotonio to him.
'Yeah, he is a friend of mine. Azn Zhao, lives in Anvala." he answers.
Inside the office, Fyodor moves behind his desks and motions them to take a seat, "So if you are here, I'm assuming you are with the transport that the Councilwoman allowed to dock within the Military Docks? So is it supplies you need?"
"Yes and some more, we have a small plane squadron on the transport that have taken quite a beating. We only have three functional planes and handful of spare parts."
"So you need a new squadron of planes," the Guild master deduces.
"Yes," Marie spoke, "These two and myself are part of workforce of maintaining the planes. We are here to evaluate what you have in stock." Courage nodding along.
"How about this, just got a shipment form Chaladon. New plane that we acquired from one of their factories. Dubbed Spitfire for the amount of fire it outputs."
"You have them here?" Asks Farris.
"Yes, I can take you to the airfield and show you." Fyodor offers.
"Well Chaladon haven't made a bad plane yet." Marie debates, "I want to see them myself."
"Very well," Fyodor stands, "I'll make a call to arrange for us to go to the field. If you can wait out in front of the building."
Nodding, Farris, Antonio, and Marie stands and exits the office. Still sitting, Courage watches as Fyodor finishes his call.
"That easy to get planes? What are you trying to pull?" He asks.
Walking around his desk, He retrieves his coat and suitcase of one of his cabinets, "You don't think I know the reason that transport is here? I got several recon reports of two more groups in the North and West. So apparently the Baronies are trying to hunt down the last of the Birdmen and you need more supplies because you manage to get into a mishap with one."
"That's spot on." Courage standing up amazed.
"I told your friend Zhao that we are trying to cover up our association with that group. I am willing to to help... to a degree. So are you coming or what?" holding the door for him.
--Air Field--
1400
After an hour drive, they manage to get to the city's lone air field. Already on the tarmac are two Spitfires being serviced by several maintenance workers. Sporting forest camo, they stick out to the tan of the desert. Stopping the vehicle, the chauffeur opens the door to let them out. Walking towards the planes, Marie quickly walks ahead of them and start looking over one of the planes.
"She is very enthusiastic," Fyodor observes, "Well these are your to test. There are suits over in the hanger and the planes are ready to go."
"You three, get the west corridor. I'll take another team to the east. Find those intruders!" screamed the head of security.

The Pit / Re: The Description Game
« on: June 20, 2016, 12:43:54 pm »
An experiment gone wrong, the Solaris Ordnance Launcher, or S.O.L for short, was a Chaladonian weapons platform used to fire a deadly new rocket. S.T.A.R, Strategic Tactical Arlen Rupture, was developed to emit a large blinding light to distract enemies, as it lights up, it also sends out deadly rays of heat to literally melt its victims. Developed by scientist, Jauque Arlen, he developed the chemical mixture that gives this bomb its potent proprieties. Testing took place on the Northeast coast of Chaladon above the Sea of Devils during the winter nights as the Winter Lights masked any of the explosions making it seem like with is part of the yearly phenomenon. It's fifth test, Professor Arlen himself was present and recommended to increase the mixture to display its might in front of the top brass. The first four test slowly increased the amount of how much was used in the bomb, what the Professor suggested was 10x more than that of the fourth test. Complying, his men created the bomb but strongly pleaded with the man not to fire it.
"Nonsense, this is perfectly safe. In fact I myself will launch it," Were his last words spoken before taking his personal ship with a S.O.L launcher out in the middle of the ocean. Off in the distance, much of the Chaladonian military stand idle as a single contrail is seen before immediately exploding not even 50 feet from Arlen's ship. The light was bright enough, citizens in Arcca thought it was an early sun rise. Once the light has settled and the darkness coming back, nothing was left of either Arlen or his craft. Dub too dangerous in large amounts, the military disband the project and Classified reports named the accident "The Solaris Disaster."

Fyodor's Guildhall
As the group approaches the desk, they see the see the secretary typing away on her typewriter. Glasses sitting on the bridge of her nose and sitting siffly upright, she barely looks away before acknowledging them.
"If you are here to meet with Master Fyodor, there is a month long waiting list."
Finger in the air, Courage's mouth hangs open amazed at he perception. Closing his mouth, he straightens himself, "Excuse me, but this is rather urgent. You see I happen to know the Guild master on a professional note and...."
"Yeah you and everyone else," She interrupted. Lowering her glasses, he stops typing and looks at the group, 'If you really want to see him, I'll write you up on our nearest opening. Either then that, if you can please remove yourself from the premise before i call security. Thank you."
As she resume typing, Courage pulls the three back with a annoyed look upon his face.
"That went well." Marie sarcastically says, "Thought you knew the guy?"
"Know him," He emphasis, 'But we may not see eye to eye."
"How so," Farris questions.
"Long story, had todo with the Yeshan Incident, but we are going to see him no matter what."
Confused, they quickly figured out what he ment as he start to run, awkwardly with the prosthetic, towards the different halls.
"You guys following?" he yells out behind him.
'HEY YOU THREE, STOP RIGHT THERE." a security officer calls the them as he and the restof the lobby watches on.
"Ah Flak me, you heard the man. RUN!!!" Antonio ordeers while catching up to the Anvalan.
Eagle's Shadow, Bridge
Entering, Frey notices the lack of crew manning the different stations. Since docking, they relaxed the rotation and only necessary personnel are working when they are needed. Currently the navigation team is just storing the maps that were out earlier.
"Afternoon sir," a young female acknowledges the man, the two others simply nods.
"Afternoon, Ms. Knightly, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes. So how is our course?"
"Well, we have several locations that are a point of interest to begin our survey" says Mrs. Holmes with a hint in her voice that suspects that this isn't a surveying mission at all anymore.
Picking up the hint, Frey doesn't change his expression, "Very well, does Captain Morgan and our other Captains know?"
"Well Captain Morgan requested us to make this a map," Her husband replies, "But we ill informthe rest once we depart."
'Very well. One last thing. Put out a call to have all hands have the rest of the night and tomorrow off. After what we have been through we deserve this."
Complying, Ms. Knightly goes over to the Comms Station, "Attention all hands, Liberty has been granted for the remainder of the night and all of tomorrow, that is all."

Ulric's Quarters
Shrugging, Ulric leads her in to the workbench. Sitting on top are the several samples from when Carn berserked.
"See, normal red. And to answer your question, after undergoing something that extraneous there are bound to be bouts of exhaustion."
Galley
"By how tired both of you look," starts Janet as she places the plates down, "It's either you two are out of shape or someone in Engineering is putting out more work to be finished. Which I'm assumming is this 'Lady of Engineering'."
Hanger Bay, Fifth Season
1300
"Ok, bring the crane around slowly," Peak calls out to Jim.
Attached to the hook is a new poonton for the port side of the Junker. The starboard one has already been replaced, making the Season seaworthy again. Still the amount of hull damage is extensive and majority of the armor has to be stripped as they took most of the force coming back down onto the water. Using hand signals, Peak guides it in where he and Arnold bolts it in.
Frodor's Guildhall
After an hour long ride, the first 40 minutes has been waiting for a cab, the four finally arrives in front of the massive building. Being the last one out, Courage pays for the fare before the car drives out.
"There goes 40 crowns... What a rip off," he mutters under his breath before almost hitting Antonio.
"Huh?," the pilot turns, "Opps sorry Courage."
"Yeah, yeah. Why did you guys stop?" before looking up to where their gaze were, "Seriously, you stop to gaze at the building?" deadpanned.
"I'm from a small town in the Dunes," start Marie, "and this is like a manor."
"It's just one of the big trade hubs here. Besides, I seen one bigger..." Before it was blown up. omitting the last part to himself.
Walking forwards, he motions the three to follow him inside. As they reach the main door, many types of people buzz around them, from businessmen to farmers. With Slava out of the picture, Fyodor's hall is the next prominent one within the capital. Entering, they are met to an large, open main lobby. In the center sits a very ornate fountain. On the far wall houses a weird billboard with numbers that changes ever so often. On the right are small cubicles where a line is formed with several businessmen while the left are halls leading to the rest of the building. Stopping in the middle of the room, Courage looks over the cubicles and spots one that looks more official than the others.
"there, " he points out, "Must be his personal secretary."
"Well what are we waiting for." Farris says as he starts to make his way over.
Looking at one another, the three quickly fall in behind him as they make their way to the desk.

"huh, didn't know I was getting a new crew member?" Ulric ponders while stroking his chin, "But never the less welcome aboard. Currently my ship is under some repairs in the Hanger Bay from the incident I had a few days ago. Go over and find Peak, he can help you more."
Opening the door to his room, "At the moment I have some things to show Ms. Alison here."
Hanger Bay
Walking through the busy space, Courage finds himself having to dock and weave as people and materials are being passed around. Soon he stands in front of the two pilots and mechanic sporting amusing grins.
Giving a deadpan stare, Courage says, "You try walking through that with a fake leg," as he lifts it up.
"Hey we needed a good laugh," chuckles Antonio, "So what are you doing down here?"
"Well I'm going out to try and get some new planes for ourselves. I mean we can't survive with only three left and dwindling parts."
"So you are asking if we can join you to review them before we take them." Marie deduces.
"Yup, so how goes?"
The three looks at one another before giving a unanimous shrug.
"We are in," Farris says for the three, "So we taking the half track that's been sitting out front in the Storage Bay."
"Umm, I don't think the Guild would like seeing that thing put in the streets," Courage slowly puts out, remembering how the two machines in the forward space were involved with the Yeashan Incident.
"We just have to call for a ride," he suggested.
"Ok then," I'll put a word out. Getting stuffy in here anyway," Says Marie as she heads off the transport.
Frey's Quaters
Neatly stacking the papers, a knock is heard on his door just as he places them away in his locked drawer.
"Coming in," he calls while dusting off his uniform.
"Afternoon sir," one of the crew who was outside recruiting came in, "Looks like this was sent to you."
In his hand is the letter that Emil has written which Frey retrieves from the man.
"This all?" he asks as he breaks the seal.
With a nod the man turns away as Frey reads the letter.
Thinks he isn't part of the crew already, he chuckles as he reads it through, Well, time to make it official I suppose.
Pulling out a drawer, he retrieves a stamp and marks the letter with a green check mark. Folding it, he stands as he makes his way out and towards the Bridge.
Galley
"You two must have pissed someone off." Charles says as he sips his drink with a hidden smile.
"Here, this might help." Janet moves from her seat and retrieves two plates of egg, bread and Bacon.
Guru Lupulul
After their initial fall, the crowd surrounding Kei and Davis opens up surprise at their drop. Quickly looking around, they head off towards what seems like the north towards the main square. Soon the lone raider slides down a few minutes after.
"Where should we look first?" asks Davis who is trying to keep up with Kei's pace.
"Maybe a communication center, we need to get a message out."
Behind them, they hear several grunts and yells as several people are pushed down to the ground.
"I think one of them is trying to track us. We need to hide or change out of our flight suits," Davis suggested.

Going over to a hanging clipboard, Ulric shakes his head at the numbers.
"I count at least 6 dead and double that wounded. No wonder we went through these supplies."
Replacing the board back, "As for the samples, I've been looking them over... You know what, follow me, I'll show you."
As he motions for Alison to follow, Ulric calls back in, "Renard, you'll be fine by yourself right?"
"Good so far, few minutes alone won't hurt," the young man responds.
Satisfied, Ulric walks out with Alison in tow.

"I just found something extremely weird," he begins as the pair walks down the cooridor, "It seems there is something in the blood, that when adrenaline is mixed in, causes a chain reaction that amplifies the muscles in the body. Since its been a few days, the sample you gave me return back to a normal red color."
Once they reach his room, he notices the new man.
"Um, hello? You are?"
Frey's Quaters
"I agree," Frey nods," if they have been tracking the Kiebeth, then they may have been tracking the Shadow's position as well. Once we pass Guild borders, we must expect a surprise attack."
"Well if we are done," Cpurage starts as he stands, "I'll see myself out and head into town. Meeting with Fyodor may take a while."
"Very well. If that is all, you are dismissed."
Gunnery Deck
"Well I'm the one who just fire the guns, Courage knows most of the weapon systems. But doesn't mean I can't learn."
Walking over to her, Theodore picks up one of the manuals and opens the page.
"Oh, so that's how the Hawacha loads it's rockets." he says intrigued.
Guru Lupulul, Tranquility
"Sir they got away." one of the raiders inform Jasper.
Struggling to control his temper, he barley whisper out a response, "I can clearly see that. If they find a ship or radio tower, they will inform the Shadow."
Pinching his nose, Jasper walks across the top cabin before stopping at the radio. Changin the frequency, he points to one of the raiders, "You, drop a rope, climb down, and follow the pair. I don't have time to change course."
"What am I suppose todo once I find them?"
"Dispose of them. Once that is done, contact me back on this ship's frequency, got it? I got to make a call so quickly be fore we lose them."
Complying, the man rushes back downstairs and grabs a rifle, pistol and spare ammo. With help from another raider, they toss off a rope where he quicky slides down.
Back at the helm, Jasper waits patiently until a click is heard from the other line, "Master, seems like we may have a problem.

"I though I already dismissed you?" Frey questions the two. With a wave of his hand, "You two out. Strictly private meeting at the moment."
As soon as the door shuts behind them, Frey turns to Carn, "Like I said, anything helps at the moment. As for pay, the crew is still getting the same amount they signed up for initially. No changes whatsoever. Still wouldnt mid for more skilled workers in the different bays.
Gunnery Deck
Having heard of new personnel being transferred to the fire teams, Theodore Cutler finds himself at the Port Battery where Amelia is surrounded by books and swabbies.
"Need any help miss?" he ask, "I can call someone to help if you need it, at the moment he is in a meeting."
Guru Lupulul
Tranquility
"Are you sure we are not being followed."
"Yes, skies has been clear for the past two hours."
"Good," answers Jasper as he turns the helm. On the compass, it slowly rotates until it points directly south, "Since you four been quite loyal, let me tell you about where I'm from. Have any of you heard about the Birdmen?"
Down below, Davis and Kei's ears perk up at the name.
"Oh no." Kei says with a slight fear in her voice.
"Bird what?", Davis whisper.
"Thought they were finally gone," she continues.
"Kei what is he talking about."
"Davis, we need to escape and warn the others."
"How we are trapped, and seriously Bird what."
"OI, QUIET YOU TWO!" yells one of the guards from above.
""I'll explained later, we just need to escape."

"Welcome you three," Frey starts behind his desk. Scatterd about are the reports from the dockyard workers about the ongoing repairs, the recent sighting of Tranquility, and several maps further south of the Guild. "Thank you for coming in quite a short notice. Especially you Mr. Carn in your current state."
Shuffling though the papers, he picks up one of the sightings with his slinged arm and circles Guru Lupulul with the other.
"After dockyard clears us, restocked, and fully manned, we will continue as planned. So far our guest is traveling south to where we were planning to start our investigation. From there our remaining escorts and fighters will further explore the new territory. Looking for any anomalies."
"Speaking of fighters," Courage interrupts, "Are we only going with our remaining two?"
"Well three, Lord Ansger is a qualified flight lead. He has a history with one of my military's fighter squadron. Until we find our missing pilots, he will be lead."
Courage again, "Well if we need supplies, I can call in the favor I told you about ealier."
"Try to, we are at a point where anything helps. So any questions?"
