Wait, who fell from the ship?

[Carn]

Otto Smith, the traitor. But Alister is also dangling from his harness.

[C r o w]

So Mr.Smith is dead from the fall?
In case he is not, and we manage to recapture him, some scenic execution is in order

[Carn]

Yeah, I couldn't remember if we were over sand or water.  I consider him dead, nasty stab to the gut and falling overboard.  I thought it likely he would not want an autopsy done.  No chance at them examining the body and learning something.

They should be flying over water. Also Poe should I do the planes post or you?

[C r o w]

I seriously need to find for my characters some way to move in the skies (besides with the damaged plane for Emil).
They both enjoy being lazy asses, but now that things are tense and there would be need for some action it's becoming frustrating being grounded.

On a side note, it's good that Lord Ansager isn't in command of the Shadow, otherwise right now the massive air ship would be racing full speed ahead with engines screaming to catch up with the fugitives.

I've got this one, just gotta get to writing it.

Also Crow, I have no idea about your characters other proficiencies but they could join the gun crews or engineering teams.

But once we get all these craft repaired we'll have a total of 5 (6 Including Alexander, Richard, and Reagan's craft of course) available for flying and the various standard patrols we'll be doing (In fact they've seen more action than the rest of the cast) plus, once we get into uncharted lands they'll be off with expensive equipment to catalogue various landmarks ahead of the fleet in order facilitate "exploration" and "the pursuit of knowledge" as well as "the complete destruction of the birdmen's entire organization down to it's last and final supporter." Which should be fun.

Also with the rate we're bleeding extra parts for these planes we should probably pick up a lot of extras.

[Carn]

So do we let them escape?  Or recapture?

[Piemanlives]

Sorry been kinda busy lately. Will get a post out hopefully later today.

[Piemanlives]

DONE! FINALLY!

[Carn]

I never said anything about someone bringing the Squid back.

[Piemanlives]

YOU'RE GODDAMN UNCONSCIOUS!

Now if you want to head back out you're technically still out there actually, plans were only put into motion and despite the few minutes that have elapsed all pieces on the board are still there.

Now whoever was still awake/not dead/not a dead traitor (And I'm assuming it's Jimmy) Is not exactly equipped to deal with this situation, who you very specifically described as a greenhorn, did what most people would consider reasonable and turned the ship around cause:

1.) He's wounded.
2.) You're unconscious.

That said you could very well turn this ship around (Literally) and go bust some heads if Alister is meant to wake up at this point.

[Carn]

I also mentioned the helm got wrecked during Otto and Alister's fight.  However, let us pretend that the Squid was pointed in the direction of the ship, and the engines are still running.

[Piemanlives]

... Damn it I failed the fact check again.

[Piemanlives]

So it anyone going to attempt to unscrew this?
