Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Below decks]

Elliot observed the commotion as it transpired with some interest, but took no action. He already knew no-one on board was responsible for the girl's death, and the seemingly naturally dead were none of his concern; even if the crew was at risk, it was not within his abilities to help.

What did concern him though was with the brisk nature of the port authority's inverstigation, although he had to admire their efficiency in reaching their conclusion. Their conclusion also troubled him however. It disturbed him that someone could abuse someone's desires in such a cruel way, not matter how artificial those desires may seem to be to those with such a position as could look down on the desirer.

~in the city~

Tris and Naught make their way to shops of various types, repeating their performance at each one.

Finally, they begin to make their way back to the Khaos.

[outside of the lace shop]

Alexandria looked at the man for a moment, then up at Wuneye towering over them all.

"I don't think so. He'd been following us for a while, and I think a normal pickpocket would be turned away by our large Mr.Wuneye." She smiled at him warmly, "He's keeping us safe, I suppose."

Silence followed for a minute or so, and Alexandria sighed.

A bit unnerved but Myles burst of maniacal laughter, Daniel cleans his stein, and returns it to the shelf with the bottle. Bidding Myles a good day, though Myles was at this moment rolling on the floor.... and most likely did not hear him.

[deck]
"False alarm people, it turns out our passenger was a runaway construct. Her heart stops if she gets too far away from her creator."
Daniel shakes his head "what a cruel leash..."

Down in the hold noises can be heard as someone turns on the broken pusher plane. Daniels sharp ear for engines catches the odd sound. One of the planes props had been damaged when Mr Finagle had fallen asleep in the planes cockpit.

"Now that can not be good...." He mutters as he nearly flys down the hatches to the hanger. Inside the hanger the pusher plane is flying eratticly in a tight circle above the deck, one broken propeller causing it to spiral. Slapping the control to open the hanger doors, and leaps onto the spinning plane. so far none of the other ships have been touched by the spinning ship but as Dan's weight is added to the plane, it dips sharply and with a screech and a shower of sparks, clips the Rociante's fuselage, leaving a large score mark.

Turning his wings to full blast, the captain manages to get the plane stabilized, sending it out of the Khaos, into the repair hanger. Using all his strength Dan pulls the plane up and around and out the hanger doors into the city. Dan tries to signal whoever was in his plane to turn the blasted thing off, but the pilot is not looking at him.

((Wait... In the hanger? Do you mean the one where Martha is?))

(the ship martha started was in the Khaos' hanger, Dan got the doors open and they flew into the repair hanger. then out the repair hanger and into the city. out of one area into another and into another type of thing. Myles is going to be pissed when he finds out what happened to his auto gyro sweatdrop )

he nodded as he looked over the giant of a being standing next to her "mayhap that we might find safety in numbers? Mr. One-eye? had mentioned that you have a ship, as it were I happen to be a commendable fighter pilot. i would like to very much to speak with you cap-tain"

~ hold ~

A pair of passing clanks stop and inspect the damage. Then they pull Martha off of the craft, lay her out on the floor, then begin to repair the damage, ignoring her completely.
