"Yes, I have one question. Could you please tell me your name so I don't have to refer to you as 'madame'?" he asked jokingly. This will be interesting he thought to himself. But he'd been on journies with crazier people before. He remembered one time when he was on a ship whose captain had nearly shot him for playing a song that he didn't like. Hopefully this woman isn't as crazy as she seems now.

She laughed again-entering the ship. "Serrenedy, Captain, Ren, Renna, one of the above, don't really care...unless it violates the rules." She shrugged. "Come to think of it, you'd probably better tell me your name, else I'll just go around calling you newb and dude." She entered the ship-despite how she looked, the ship couldn't have been in better shape. It had a good lot of unnecessary parts that required a lot of maintenance to do their small jobs. It was undoubtedly where most of their funds went. A small kitchenette was off to the side, that seemed to be the least of their funds went. Two doors led to the rooms and her study respectively. "Not much to show" She smirked. "Pick a room, get settled. I'm taking a shower, then we're going to find the crazy."

"My name is Remi," he said, "and by the way, if you need help with maintenance, that is something which I am rather good at." He smiled as he took off his coat, revealling his tool belt. He picked a room by the edge of the ship; he wanted a nice view. He opened the door and put down his staff and his oud. He made the bed--a very modest cot, but it was more comfortable than the floor, which he'd been forced to sleep on a few times on previous voyages--and then went over to the window. He could tell by the untidiness of the room that the airship had been "landed harshly" as he preferred to call it; the ship was, after all, still clearly in one piece, so one could not really say that the ship had crashed. He spent some time tidying up before he heard a noise which he rather liked and remarked to himself, "I could spend my entire life chasing sounds." This in turn spurred him to take out his oud and write a song. He began to sing:
Faster moment spent spread tales of change within the sound
Counting form through rhythm electric freedom
Moves to counter-balance stars expound our conscience
All to know and see
The look in your eyes
Passing time will reach as nature relays to set the scene
New encounters spark a true fruition
Guiding lines we touch them
Our bodies balance out the waves
As we accelerate our days
To the look in your eyes
From the moment I reached out to hold
I felt a sound
And what touches our soul slowly moves as touch rebounds
And to know that tempo will continue lost in trance of dances
As rhythm takes another turn
As is my want I only reach
To look in your eyes
He couldn't think of any more words so he just sang "cha cha cha cha cha" to the tune of the song for a while. He finished singing and put his oud away. "Things are looking up for me," he said to himself, quite ecstatic that he was going to be in the air soon enough.
[[the lyrics that Remi sings are from the song Sound Chaser, by Yes]]

Slow clapping came from the open door. "That's pretty good" She smirked from the doorway. "I only herd the end, so the beginning might have sucked for all I know, but the last verse was good. Comeon" She directed going back out into the main part "We gotta find her, just use the periscope to find a crash and try telling me what the longitude and latitude are...about."

Alice wobbled, both hands pressing her spine. Her foot fall was drunken a clatter as she tried to ignore her back pain. "Is-is everyone safe?" Her voice ragged from the fall. Seeing the small girl in tears. "What is the matter?" She cautiously asked as she forcefully walked towards her as her legs responded against it.
"Please tell me ya can get her back into the air, Cornelius." Rufus said, regained his balance.
"That's risky to say." Cornelius continued to fiddle with panel. "The boilers might have taken bad damage, hell, we might have lost one, if not more."
Searil looked out the front panes of glass. "Any suggestion to why they may have broke?"
"Impact was a real kicker, though the main rotor started to get problems right after we took off. Despite that the main usually are the strongest." Cornelius, hit the panel with a sudden right fist. "We might have been set up to not have survived this." He turned his head to see out to the window on the door leading to the main deck, proudly showing the propeller. "Someone, possibly more of someones are really out for our lives."

Sally cried. "I just wanted the part for her birthday. We're gonna get killed, then no one's gonna be there to help her, then she's gonna get killed, then Anabelle will get called and shes gonna kill herself. EVERYONES GONNA DIE-AND It'S ALL MY FAULT" Sally sobbed-going into hysterics. "I don't wanna die, I don't want Ren to die...all I wanted was for her to be HAPPY" She fell out of coherency-wailing for all she was worth

Remi put the oud back in its case and put his coat and scarf back on. "Alright, I'm on it" he said as he manned the periscope. He really hoped he could find the crash as he felt partially responsible for the girl, albeit there was nothing he could really do to stop her from stowing away.

"I know where we can get a replacement boiler, and fast." Derek said from the doorway of the cockpit. He was sweating slightly from trying to maintain balance while the cabin dipped and turned, and had lost his hat somewhere in the confusion.
"There's a small holding warehouse for Parker Aeronautics not far from here. They store many large parts there, including several types of boilers." He wiped his sleeve across his forehead to clear away the slight sheen. It was becoming increasingly more difficult to get away from Alden, and he was beginning to feel like he'd never leave.

The pair of police airships came into sight now, their was abit of shouting between the two and one turned back, most likely to go and report to what happened. The other began to descend, closing in on the downed ship.
Joesph moved through the engine room, like a professional, never getting in the way of another engineer for even a second. He heard that they were descending and told the other engineers as he began to get the ship prepped for a landing.
"Fine, 10 pounds a head for the capture of the crew" The police cheif said defeated. A rather satasified looking alex sat across a table, his hands folded togeather politly. "I accept your terms, now all I need is to find out where they are and a way to get there" Alex muttered to himself getting up.

"There's a police ship out there in the distance, about 30 degrees off starboard," Remi said. "I remember that the police were after someone among the crew of the airship that Sally stowed away on; we should probably head over there, and fast!"

"On It" Serrenedy chirped, twisting the stearing wheal to the required angle. She reached under the dashboard and dobblee pumped a gaget that made the ship near triple it's speed.

"....Boilas are heavy as 'ell, we have to getta way to bring it back to tha' ship." Rufus said, looking to the new cadet. "Derek, would ya know if we could snag anything, even jus' a dolly to get it on the ship?"
Searil saw one of the ships begin to land. "We need to move, I can stall, if need be."
Cornelius turned to look out of the window. "I can as well."
"Derek, ya comin' with me 'en." Rufus walked to the door. "We 'aveta get at Moe girl too."

"The police vessel just landed next to another ship... and what do you know, it's the one I saw earlier! We found them! Keep the course straight ahead, and you may want to prepare to land," Remi said excitedly.

She threw her head back and laughed. "prepare to land, ha, you're almost as funny as Sal" She smirked, diving to a 80 degre angle near the crash and simply cutting the propulsion. "Grab somethin'" She hollered as she grabbed her hammer off the floor and hld the stearing wheal tightly to avoid being thrown.

Remi held on to the periscope and braced for landing. He worried about his oud but he knew he put it away in its case so it should be fine. He'd "landed harshly" several times before in his life so he knew what to expect. "Ready for impact," he said excitedly, mostly to convince himself.
