"More my expertise perhaps, than my Captain's. Brigadier General (Gunnery) Elliot Vidal, at your service" With this, he performed an elegant bow. "And so perhaps I might be able to help myself. But I must ask what those gears are for, as well as the exhaust?"

*stands at attention and salutes* i'm not exactly sure what my rank would be i heard there was work and came by....turns out im a Gunner now.
*looking over the parts a moment a purely concentrated look on his face* The exhaust is there so the gun wont over heat and melt and the gears inside are what makes it shoot, only problem is something in there is wrong and i havent the slightest what it could be.

"Don't worry about the salute; it means little within this city...for me just a trace of a life past..." Elliot began to stare blankly, not that this could be seen through the mask facing the maroon-haired man [character name?], as Elliot looked away, back to 'his' own ship's guns.
"As to the gun, most interesting. A while since I've seen one that was entirely works driven. Khaos here simply has percussion combustion shells, but I shall have a look all the same, I have dealt with similar weapons a while past."
He moved over to the cannon, peering into what was exposed of its workings, concentrating on discerning where the problem lie. As he had taught the clanks, he began by tracing the movements of all the parts of the gun were it to be working properly.
"Pardon me though, but why do you have such a weapon in the docks, especially one you are firing?"

*lets out a hearty chuckle shaking his head*
People call me Nysth.
*offers to shake your hand, looking over at the machine*
Now here's the best part... I went to set this baby in safety because of the compressed aether caps it uses and it went off.
*reaches over, pulling another lever and a box opens showing the machinery inside* I cant make heads or tails of it. (there razz im still new to steampunk anyhow)

Daniel helps Myles to his feet, placing the Tengu blade in a loop attached to his belt. He picks up the sphere Myles had dropped and looked it over. He fingered the mark, recognizing the emblem. "What does this mean? Does this belong the the same manufacturer as the clanks? Why do you have it?" Daniel wonders aloud, knowing Myles wouldn't really know.
"Perhaps we should open the chest left on the dock from before?" Daniel eyes Myles for a moment. Something about Myles' late night jaunt and his lack of memory of what happened during said venture bugged him.
"In any case lets get you to a proper bed eh? Talon if you still want to help me with this busted wing of mine, help me remove it, the joint is complex so be careful."
Daniel hears Eli talking to someone down on the dock. Peering over the rail he sees Eli examining some sort of cannon brought by a dark haired man and large scorch mark on the dock behind them. Eli's knowledge of gun craft should help the man out.
:Elliott! Feel free to invite the man aboard, Its late and he is welcome to spend the night if he wishes."

"People from home call my Nysth sir, exactly what are you and your men doin here if you dont mind my askin"

"Well Nysth," Daniel says leaning over the rail (and the kilometers drop between the ship and the dock) to shack the mans hand. "Most of us are asleep at the moment, but we were hoping to open a charter and cargo business for now. Were pretty much set for the ships crew, we just need to get supplied and get some passengers. That gun there yours?"
With the mess the gun had made the young man didnt seem to know how to use it, eiter that or it was a custom gun and it didnt work a percentage of the time. But if the boy knew about guns Eli could most likely use him for one of the gun positions
(just a note: the balloon guns rotate 360 degrees and raise 90 degrees (turret type) and the ones on the ship are similar to the ones in the star wars millennium falcon with a ball turret socket cockpit but must be moved by turning cranks and then firing)

Letting out a deep hearted laugh, putting his hands on his hips he loosk up at you still unsure what your name is he simply shrugs it off
"that gun there? Aye thats mine, it was given to me and ive spent my time here trying to fix it, it shoots i guarantee! But after that there might be a wee bit of a problem, i hope i didnt wake your crew sir."
(the cannon, being fastend down in a crate, the gun in front with the handles and trigger on the back with the main heart of the machine connected to the front of it, though another option availible if it infact does become a turret is that a seat can be mounted to the side and controled via cockpit)

"With all the commotion just now i dont know if anyone noticed your misfire. lots of crazy things can happen around this craft, it was aptly named the "Khaos" but i bet the person who named her called her that for teh chaos she caused not the chaos aboard. By the way, I'm Captain Daniel Montoya"
Daniel grins, "You looking for work too? Seems the last few days have been a prime time for crew members to join up. and we have a few people who might be able to help you get that gun up and running. any idea what you plan on mounting it to? a bit big for a shoulder mount."
"that cannon is big enough to mount aboard the Khaos" Daniel thinks to himself, wondering how this man had been 'given' a gun that big. what did he plan to do with it??

"First and formost she needs to be able to fire without turning the area into a scorch, if hadnt exactly decided where or what to mount it onto i'd be willin to bring my gun with me if you'll accept us onto the crew Cap'n"
'I really hope that this crew doesnt turn out to be a bunch of pirates...my pour cannon she only can take so much'
His hands on his hips looking up to you a smile on his face all the while, his sprained arm twinging in pain slightly having it been smashed in the gear works/

"Are you any good with cannons? Eli could use some more 'organic' crew for his staff." Noticing hisNysth's clenched fist and sporting a bruise on his arm, he users him aboard. "First off, lets get you to the med bay and take a look at that arm. Its almost morning and Dr. Tennant can set it right."
"oh and when you meet the rest of the crew, it may seem as if we are just a bunch of pirates, as we have all kinds of people workin here, but were more mercenary types, we go where the money is, but we keep our honor and morals."
Daniel check in with Myles, "you gonna be ok man? Should we take you by the Doc's too?"
(i haven't forgotten about eli and the cannon ^_^)

[I hate being in England]
Eli was still quite busy examining the working of the cannon as Nysth and Daniel were talking, and during their conversation he had managed to locate the problem. Reaching in, he began to rearrange a few gears, and when he was satisfied that the problem was solved, engaged the safety, which now did exactly what it was meant to with a satisfying clunk.
"Well, that's your cannon functioningly properly once more, good sir. And if you do want a position as a gunner, I would be glad to offer it to you."

(sorry I want on a weekend vacation) She nodded and took her time looking over the joint muttering to her self and listening to the conversation with a man she hadent ever seen before. She pulled out her portable welder and then paused, put it back taking out a wrench instead. Talon was about to start when a thought hit her. "You said you body got fused with the machinery Right, So can you feel in the metal parts of you body.
