Talon grinned "of corse I will Im all ways ready to fly. I bought some gliding wings and I need to see how well those work, so Im heading that way any way. You can show me the controls, I think the controls of you ship will be a bit different then mine back home had."'
she started walking. They went down to her room. She got her wings and brought them up putting them in a locker in the hanger. " Daniel will show me how to use those later. She looked around a bit "Witch ones yours?"

his face blank he simply shrugged and walked off, a clank approached him
"Mr. Kalafialrre the cannon you told us to mount is ucrrently ready for your inspection"
he nodded following to the compartment on the side of the ship where it was mounted he looked over hte job for several minutes before dissmissing the clanks, climbing inside the main cockpit of his cannon he fastened himself in, readying a small communicator on his face
"lets see what this ol' girl can do"

"Oh, burn." Penelope muttered as Dr Tennant left with Mr Elliot and asked Mr Nysth not to tag along. She watched the clank trundle off with the doctor's food and wished she had taken it with her instead of putting it off. With a shrug, the young cook returned to washing the dishes.
"What should we make for lunch?" Penelope asked Mr George absentmindedly. They wouldn't start on it immediately, of course, but it was good to plan ahead.

Abigail, as much as she appreciated Eli's candor with the matter, sighed a bit.
"I would hardly treat you as an idiot, I hold you in too high regard to flat out lie." She smoothed the front of her dress and kept her tone casual and matter-of-fact. "I purchased them the way I did for various reasons. We needed supplies so I filled the need. I have an... acquaintance who I've dealt with before and he owed me one. The quality is some of the finest available, I would never skimp on something that could be the difference in life and death for others, and I paid with my own money so you can rest assured that none of the ship's money was used in the purchase."
She kept to the basics, telling him the main points and keeping the smaller pieces to herself. There would be no reason to worry anyone than necessary. She glanced up at Eli and raised an eyebrow. He had told her not to inquire how he knew about where she had bought the items but she still had to wonder. Ah well, best to let the matter die for now.
"Of course, I can understand if you want nothing to do with me now. Under normal circumstances I would have purchased them in more... conventional means but one never knows how quickly one will need such things and they were quickly and easily available that way, not to mention at a much more reasonable price." She glanced the other way and spoke quieter, momentarily leaving the topic track. "Lucky thing too, Sasha would have an infection now and Nysth would still be flopping his arm about..."

In the hold:
Daniel smiles, he was glad he could count on his crew to be there. He hoped they could handle whatever lay ahead, doing was a lot harder than simply saying you can do something. all pilots freeze up at the helm sometimes.
Daniel checks his time piece, he would have enough time for a quick lesson with talon after he got back from the station master. then they would need to prep for launch, not that much was needed in that department.
"Talon, I can help you with those wings for a quick lesson today. i just need to talk to the station master and let him know of our plans." Daniel hits a switch and opens the hanger doors partly. "See you in a bit"
Daniel starts up his wings, waves, and buzzes out the opening. The odd thing was that the flight Talon was was holding, moved more like a bird, flapping and gliding. Daniel's wings flapped at a high speed and looked more like insect wings.

hecking the main controls everything oporational he simply sits and waits within the small confides of the cockpit, the glass around him would slowly begin to steam up from his own body heat being the size inside was so small, nearly barely enough room to move, he slowly started to drift into a nap while he waited for the captain to launch, completely uncaring when simply waiting for his orders

Elliot laughed.
"Don't worry Doctor, I never planned to...discipline, I suppose, you in any way for this matter. I myself have had the misfortune of requiring a black market contact from time to time. I just want to make sure that I can know what you are getting and when, in case you get in trouble, or get the ship in trouble. Wih me being the closest thing to security on this ship, I'm sure you can understand."

Abigail looked up as Eli laughed and raised her brow again. It was hardly an unpleasant event, more so that the break in character could seem so foreign yet be very natural all the same. She offered a smile.
"Thank you for putting my mind at ease, I must say it is refreshing to hear someone else speak of the underground and in such light tones too!" She looked back down at her hands. "I appreciate your concerns, I wish I could offer some aid to you in return but I'm rather useless. I understand the security risks of the ship and, should things continue to go as well as they have in the past, we need not worry about the fellow I spoke of earlier. He covers his customers' tracks and keeps his deals so long as you keep yours." Abigail stopped and turned to look at Eli, clasping her hands behind her back again. "You'll have to pardon me, I've become so used to dealing with cons and underground runners that it is almost second nature now, even with previous crews and companions it was common place to interact with them."

Elliot smiled, inwardly and out. Though he knew that of all the crew, Abigail would be above such things, he was glad she did not try to hide what she had done in anyway, and was somewhat impressed by the effort she put in in gaining the right connections. It was something that had taken he quite some time, but that was with his somewhat more individual requirements.
"Very well Doctor, I shall not mention this any more, unless of course it would be of utmost importance, or should you desire to. Since you are a fellow crew member, and a purchaser of shady goods yourself, I do not mind saying that, in truth, I am a fellow in that also. And not for all too dissimilar reasons. I too use my connections in the interest of survival, albeit..."
He stopped suddenly, afraid that he may have given away too much of the specifics. His tone returned somewhat to his usual, but ever less so with time, more solemn demeanor.
"I'm sorry, but I must go now. Whilst it pains me to do so, I feel for now it may be best not to bring this to the captain's attention, though I would advise you not to lie at all should he have his suspicions. Also, I must attend now to our mutual acquaintance Mr. Kalafailrre, as I must clear up what he knows of this matter. Good day, Doctor."

asleep within the ockpit, strapped in everythign set to safety he can be found in the compartment fully at ease for once he wakes up in a jolt grabing onto the handles infront of him after a few seconds he realizes everything is fine and lays his head back, opening the cockpit doors to get some freshair he mumbles to himself
"I wish we'd go already im goin outta my damn skull here"
as he said it the machine would make a sort of a grunting sound letting out a bit of steam from the exhaust ports

A figure can be seen flitting around the other docked airships. Daniel nimbly darts around every obstacle with a practiced ease as if he belonged in the air. (which he did)
Heading back to the Khaos he spots Nysths cannon on deck ready to go. i fact, as he got closer he could see Nysth lazing about in the cannons cockpit. Daniel swoops down past the cannon and dives down over the bowsprit (the pole on the front of the ship that the rigging attaches to)
he slides into the hanger and alights near Talon and Sasha, who are still engrossed in their discussion.
"Hey, We are all clear to launch in a bit. Did you still want a quick lesson on how to use your glider Talon? its not as easy as i make it look, but its simple enough as long as you aren't afraid of heights." Daniel didn't see that as a problem as Talon was the one who climbed on balloons for fun and repairs.
