So, Silver and others. Fast forward, different city and place for anyone looking to join. I know everyone has been busy, but please don't let Pie and I to make the plot points. If you have something we will write with it.

Day 5, 1200
Vystorg
Communications Building, Military Docks
"What do you mean he escaped!", came Enger's booming voice from the radio.
Retaining himself from yelling back at a superior, Frey taps the table in front of him. The last three days has been disastrous. The search for Jasper has been unsuccessful, the loss of a ship, another badly damaged, and several crew members either dead or missing. On top of that, putting the Shadow into nearly full capacity blown one of the main engines. Currently the Medium Transport is docked within the capital's Military Docks being serviced by its workers.
"We severely underestimated Mr. Carn's old accomplice. Even though Mr. Briggs escape is a major set back, it is actually helping us."
"Hmm, how so."
"We already submitted a report that the Goldfish has been stolen once we docked. Within an hour several captains came to us about seeing the craft heading in a southerly direction as well."
"You're saying that he is heading back to their hideout."
"One of their bases was at Izumi, so it is plausible that they have hideout further south"
"Well for your sake, fine it! The other teams are in their search area and your team is behind schedule! If we don't get results, well, since you did accompany on this mission it's on your head. Do I make myself clear."
"Yes councilman."
"Good." with that, Enger cuts the line leaving Frey in the small room. Slamming his good hand on the table, he lets out a loud groan before exiting. Outside the door is Courage leaning on the wall waiting for the Baron. Hearing the door opening, he looks up and start to keep pace with the Baron.
"That didn't sound good. So do we have some more support." the young man ask.
"He didn't even let me have a chance to ask. Enger can be stubborn at times, if Melin was on the line he would have gotten maybe a small squadron for us."
As the two walk down the cooridor they manage to find the building's lobby and exit the Military Dock's Communication Building. Outside, Vystorg's skyline is lined with cranes as after the failed takeover the city is slowly rebuilding itself. In the docks, Guild airmen eyes the two from afar as they make their way to the Shadow.
"Well, if you let me, I can request to see Fyodor for supplies. He does own myself and my friends several favours."
"You can try, but we are not going to be here for long. Once repairs are done and maybe after recruited several more men to replace our numbers we are going underway."
"Going to be a while after that engine explosion."
"Yeah," sighing," at least our engineers are having a breather and the dock workers are overseeing the repairs. Mr. Bell if you would excuse me, I need sometime to think."
Nodding, Courage continues forward to the Shadow as Frey limbs behind slowly.
Eagle's Shadow
Hanger Bay
"YOU DOLTS, CAREFUL!! THESE PLANES ARE IRREPLACEABLE!" screams Marie to the Guild workers.
Besides work being done in the Engineering spaces, the Hanger Bay and the ships associated are under repairs as well. Even though all the work is being done by Guildsmen, Marie sees fit to watch them carefully while they are in her space. Behind her sitting on top of two crates, Farris and Antonio look up from their train of thought at the screaming woman.
"Relax Marie, they are doing the best they can. Just rest a little." Antonio says as he hops off his crate and walks towards her.
"I won't relax until everything is perfect and we are back up in the air." turning around and pointing a finger to the man.
Brushing the hand out of the way, Marie doesn't show any sign of fighting back as Antonio goes into a hug.
"I know you want to find them as well, but we all need our rest. We can't function if you are brain dead and can't fix our planes."
In a low voice, "I haven't lost a pilot in my entire carrer. I make sure all the maintenance is done perfectly so that they come back."
"Hey it wasn't your fault. It was the hand that was dealt durning that storm."
"Don't worry," Farris' voice coming in now, "We'll find them, Frey said that they had confirmation they ejected out safely. Mostly likey they are being held prisoner."
"Is that suppose to make me feel better?" Marie ask the second man."
"Dude, not helping," Antonio says releasing the hug.
"What?" Farris shrugs as he is stared down by the both of them.
MedBay
"Finally some news about my ship. So where is those bastards heading?"
Still bedridden, Renard sits up as Ulric comes in with news of Tranquility being spotted heading south. Standing behind the medicine cabinet, Ulric pulls out several bottle and shake out a pill from each.
"You seem ecstatic. Really want your ship back huh?" Ulric replies as he hands Renard the pills, "Still broken but ready to fight."
Taking the pills, Renard downs them individual before being handed a glass of water, "Well she is my first ship that I bought. Been with me for the last three years."
"I hear yeah, the Season is my own creation. Glad she is still air worthy after that explosion."
"Yeah, one helluva story."
Going back to the cabinet, Ulric peers in and start moving bottles, "Huh, looks like we are running low on several things. Renard, who has been using our stores?"
"Oh, Alison has been using them. With how many are wounded, she has to use a good chuck of it."
Turning around, "Know where she is."
All Renard does is give a shrug.
Galley
Sitting at one of the tables, Alexi is seen casually drinking as the three Communications Officers are off in another part of the room.
"What a start huh?" starts Janet.
"A start is an understatement young miss. What we had is a whirlwind of misfortune," Gregory adds.
"It's starting to look up now right? We did make it to Vyshtorg."
"Not without some losses." this time Charles adding in.
"Didn't know we were having a party in here."
Turning to see whose the new voice belongs to, the trio waves as they realise it is Courage. Taking a seat with them, he grabs a glass from the tray in the middle of the table.
"So what are you guys discussing?
"Well Mr. Bell..."
"Janet, you know I don't like being called that, sounds too formal." Courage interrupts.
"Ok. So Courage, we were just talking about the last few days."
"Yeah I know, I had a talk with Frey."
"What did he had to say?" Charles asks while taking a sip from his glass.
"That once repairs are done we are heading out."
"A man of initiative. Always like that man." Gregory comments.
"Mr. Bell, Ms. Morgan, and Mr. Carn, please report to my office." came Frey's voice over the intercom.
"Well looks like I have to go."
"Don't worry, it's not like we are going anywhere." says Janet as she waves Courage off.

Weather Deck
The gun crew stands idle as they wait for the order to recommence firing. Looking through his scope, Courage feels the transport jerk alone with everyone else. Behind them, the engines spin to life as they slowly gain momentum.
Towards the bow, he notices the ship is changing direction and heads towards the raging storm.
"Ah flak, all hands don sand gear," he yells out, "We are going in."
Following the order, the team heads toward the Observation Deck to retrieve the equipment when the Shadow gives a slight jerk. Overcoming the sounds of the engines, a loud roar is heard as Regan's rocket craft races towards the storm.
Engineering
Following her orders, Ulric's team split up to their respective positions. On the starboard section of the massive Engineering space, Peak and Jim finds themselves in shaft alley for the No. 1 engine.
Peak Whistling, "Bigger than a Junker's engine."
"Yup," Jim answers with the same stunned expression.
A bit forward of the first pair, Ulric and Arnold quickly finds the cross connected tanks for the engines.
"Don't think we are going to run out any time soon." Ulric observing the nearly full tanks.
"Nope, come on, we need to see if they aren't leaking."
Somewhere in the Storm Coast
Quickly covering their faces and any exposed parts of their body, the downed pilots try to navigate out and back towards the Shadow. Durning their walk, they manage to see darken clouds in the tan.
"You think those are our planes?" asks Davis.
"Maybe. If they are we can salvage what we can see if the radio works." his partner answers
Nodding, they slowly approach the wreck. With rifle out, the pair approach it cautiously not taking any changes with what the desert offers. A few feet out, it is indeed one of the two downed planes. On top of it are two Sand Slugs. With two rounds, Davis quickly dispose of the slugs and through them away from the plane.
Smuggling around, he notices that it is the one he borrowed from Antonio, "Hmm he his not going to be happy since I crashed his plane huh?"
"Nope, but did you find anything."
Rummaging in the compartment behind the seat, Davis pulls out a small backpack. Opening it, inside contains a few containers of water and several ready to eat meals.
"Think we are good for the moment for food," showing Kei his findings, "You get the radio to work?"
"Nope," sh answers as she tries to tune in, "Busted, must have been after the crash."
"Well, I think we should just stay put here," he sighs," Once this blows over, they should be able to spot the wrecks."
Hopping off the cockpit, he moves under the wing to get some cover from the sands. Following suit, Kei jumps down and uses the either wing for hers.
"How long until they send out a search party?" she asks."
"Knowing the Captain, she'll send one soon."
As he finish, he is able to hear the sound of an engine coming towards them, "And I believe that is her now. Hear it?"
"Yeah. I do. Got a flare? I don't think they can spot us in this dense sand.
Going through the bag, Davis finds a pull flare. Twisting and pulling the cap, the flare glows a bright red. Soon a bright light is shone through the sand as the engine noise becomes increasingly louder.
"Wow she works fast," comments Kei as she shields her eyes from the bright light.
"Yeah." Davis says as he does the same.
Soon the ship stops right in front of them with their light still shining.
"Glad to see you here Captain Morgan, mind dimming those lights." Davis request.
"Oh of course," says a male voice. Both Davis and Kei look at eachother as something is off as the light goes off and standing next to the armed hawacha is Jasper with his men armed with the ship's rifles.
"Now, I you value your lives, which you both do, lower your weapon. Looks like now I'm taking prisoners."
At an impasse, Davis reluctantly lowers his rifle as two of the raiders jump down and binds the two. Loading them on the Goldfish, a satisfied Jasper looks on as they bring them to the lower cabin.
Hmm, I wonder how the serum works on actual pilots.... I'll test it once I'm back at the base.
"Time to get out of here before they find us," he orders to his men, "Give us a southerly direction, we need to make it to the Guild and beyond." to the nearest one at the helm.

Remember, sandstorm picked up in intensity. Visibility is low and last know position is lost. You have a damaged Squid with half of its crew gone, a Galleon having its weight limit reached and going sustainably slower, and two downed pilots in the storm. What to do

Sorry, long week. But I'm basing it off the photo you had earlier with two engines on top either side of the observation room of the weather deck near aft. Two more in the rear on the actual hull. With a transport being able to hold a galleon, it should be alightly faster but has to have time to get to its max speed. And yes the goldfish shroud have slight damage but is still able to move
