Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing Nysth's shout, Daniel looks up fro examining the ships in the hanger. he had forgotten about Nysth and his crazy cannon.

"we run a test flight for her later today. (its early am but the suns up) then we can get her doing runs again."

Daniel walks over to him and his cannon. "I have an idea of where to mount this baby. I noticed earlier a hatch up on the main deck that was big enough for your cannon to fit in. we could rig an elevation system and have it be a concealed gun. provided that you don't shoot straight forward and take out the bowsprit and rigging and lose our balloons."

Daniel grimaces, what a mess that would be. "get the final word from Eli to see what he feels before building. I can get the cannon top side with the cargo tug over there" he says pointing to the heavy duty airship. "She wont need much to get her started, so we can get the gun set up soon."

As he spoke, Daniel smelled something other than welding torches, ozone and fuel in the hanger air. "IS that soup? POTATO soup?" Realizing what time it was he calls loud enough for Myles and Sasha to hear, "Hey guys, I think its near breakfast. You coming Nysth? i need to speak to every one on today's plans."

Daniel heads up the stairs toward the galley, as he goes he pulls out a small biscuit sized chunk of coal and a canteen. he proceeds to swallow the coal and downs the water.

(( eek I LOVE YOU! I would do the same thing but im not that good of a drawer mrgreen ))

[Even better than the first arts, and of course better in that it was a decent sized crew in it now. I think that refelecting on all the people in that photo we shouldn't need to do much more recruitment now]

Elliot noted the stressed formality in Penelope's last comment, and was none too pleased, though with himself for casuing such a tone, not her. He really did come across as rather interrogative at times. He would later put it down to being stressed with so many new arrivals and errant crew members, but he truly knew he should be better regardless. Though he quickly regained his composure as always, the was a momentary flicker of regret across the half of his that was visible.

"Not at all Dr. Tennant, and do not trouble yourself to use my title. No one else does"
Because I tell them all that.
"I shall take my leave now."

He left without a further word, returning to the aft to see if Daniel had come some arrangement with Nysth as to the positioning of the new cannon.

As he was working his way down the ship to where the cannon was currently stowed, Elliot came past the galley, and saw that it was already filling with crew. He checked his watch, and saw that with all that had happened in the night it was already the morning. He pitied those who would now be suffering from a lack of sleep, ignoring the fact that he had had none himself.

He stepped inside the galley, wishing the crew present a good morning, but rather than getting food for himself he merely sat. Instead, he took a mouthful from a hip flask and turned so that he might talk to the others.

Elliot replied, though he did not bother to repeat Nysth's subtlety to quite the same degree; there was hardly a need to hide anything concerning the cannon from the crew, particularly as he doubted that they were much inclined to listen carefully enough anyway.

"That's sounds like a capital idea to me. If you would look to mount the cannon there, I would suggest that you take the fore gun when it is not used; so as you can get to your own as quickly as possible should we need to use it."

Sasha lept out of the pile of parts. she followed the captain to the galley where she began to voraciously collect plate that looked very unstable. "oh a little of this a little that. . ." she mumbled on to her self, once she collected enough food to feed at least 3 grown men she began to gobble it down.

Daniel looks around noticing most of the crew has assembled in the galley. The only ones missing being Ace and Dr Tennant. Who he was sure would join them presently.

(im going to go on hoping the others will hop in and hear the announcement)


"Everyone!" Daniel shouts over the murmur of conversation. "Today if possible I'd like to have the Khaos do a run around the Anacronism. Pending the success of the test run we can start doing jobs for the Dock Master. Ya know some cargo runs or ferrying of passengers and the like. I would like to note that we may install Nysth's cannon deck side in a retractable fashion, and i have been asked to warn you from 'playing' with it."

"any questions or suggestions from anyone about how to go about this?" Daniel asks slightly uncertain under the gaze of the crew. It still was so strange having so many under his command.

with that, he grabs a glass cup and fills it with soup puttign a thermal cap ontop of it he pats daniels shoudler with a wide smile

"Thanks cap'n, i'll leave the mounting to the clanks and go take a look at the engines and the like so we can get goin"

he waves to the cook and bows his head in thanks before taking a seat, keeping silent as he sips the hot soup looking about not knowing exactly what to do with all these peopel around him, he does the ony thing he can think to do and offers the merry bunch a smoke with a timid smile
