Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'll think i should wait and talk to Elliott later, I need to clean up the captains cabin if Ms. Bruno decides to still use the safe."

Daniel heads aft to the captains quarters. Like the rest of the ship parts and knick knacks lie all over the place. "good grief" mutters Daniel, "was the last crew a bunch of slobs..."

He gets about cleaning up and packing away the mess. Amongst the clutter Daniel finds some articles of clothing. articles in particular that would fit him over his "different" frame.

Laying the clothes aside, Dan returns to the mess, but as he reaches for more stuff to clean up, his body begins to shudder.

"Ahrg! Not now! not again!" he shouts, as he falls over, his body spasming and flopping on its own Dan cries out at the blinding pain. The wraps around his torso shred as the mechanical parts beneath rearrange and shift design. His pants tearing at the seams as new metal parts replace the once flesh and blood. As soon as it starts its over, leaving a panting, half clothed Dan on the floor.

Getting shakily to his feet, he inspects the changes. "just like the old alchemist said, every year it goes further" he sighs. the mechanical part of him now extends down his torso and legs to the toes.

"Gah and every time that blasted change happens it ruins my cloths... guess ill use the ones the old captain left behind." Slowly, taking it easy on his new legs, Daniel proceeds to redress himself.

"I'm turning into a clank..."

Hearing a female voice coming from one of the walls, Daniel turns to see a speaker tube mounted to bulkhead of the captains cabin. A label above it reading "deck."

"thats not Ms Bruno...." He thinks and moves over to the tube. "Hello there!" he calls into the tube. "I'll be right up" He proceeds toward the main deck and climbs onto the deck.

As he emerges from below deck, now dressed in a leather armored suit, fitting the look of an air pirate or mercenary to a T(see avi). He has his goggles, one lens bigger and bulkier than the other, over his eyes but this doesn't hide his friendly smile. Metal wings project from his shoulders and small hisses can be heard beneath the clothing as he walks across the deck and introduces himself.

"Pleasure to meet you miss, My name is Daniel, and this is the Khaos. What can i do for you?"

Daniel looked at the girl in front of him. Her outfit had seen better days, but so had this ship. he didnt see a problem with taking her on, but what about the parents? he didn't want to be accused of kidnapping.

A cook would be excellent to have, a cruel blow to Daniel in that he no longer really needed food due to the last 'upgrade.' oh well. "If we took on passengers a cook will defiantly be needed"

"your in luck Ms Samms, we are in need of a cook, and you seem confident and capable. however i have to ask, what about your family? we may be out on trips or whatnot and you may not see them often. I don't want to take you on and get in.... trouble for.... abducting ..." He looked into the girls face and froze.

"erk, shes using those blamed puppy eyes on me...." Daniel fought the look and was losing.

"sounds a lot like my childhood..." Dan thinks. "only my grandfather didn't let me go for nothing" This girl seemed genuinely eager to work, she was young but it appeared this crew was going to be made up of all kinds. all the more fun that way ! Daniel smiles warmly and salutes back.

"Well then, welcome aboard First Galley Mate Samms! Pick any cabin you'd like to stay in, but be careful. I cleaned the outside and halls of the Khaos, the the rooms are still full of all sorts of stuff. I tried to clean up the galley a bit, its clean now, but cluttered as the rest of the rooms..."

"Until we start taking on jobs, pay will be scarce, but you may have any of the things in the cabin u choose. We can get by with the ships supplies for now, the food storage is well stocked"

"We Have a new member now," Dan says smiling. "Meet Penelope Samms. our new galley mate."

Daniel's expression grew slightly more serious and his smile faltered for a moment. "Elliott, I beg your pardon for my rash judgment earlier. I did not mean to offend you."

And there is one other thing you should know, and you as well Ms Samms. That despite my ownership of the Khaos, I'm only a pilot, I'm far too used to flying the ship, taking orders from someone with a better head for that kind of thing." Dan sighs, "i can fill in for now, but i really don't feel that I'm qualified." His smile returns to normal, as he scratches the back of his head.


"hey were did you get the cannon?"

"Thank you, sir." Penelope was about to run off to the galley when the man carrying the large gun, or was it a small cannon?, on his shoulder stepped ondeck. She had never seen artillery so close, and her eyes grew wide as he came closer.

It came as a surprise to her when they both acknowledged her presence. For her whole life she was just a kid, now she was treated almost as an equal. Still, she remained respectfully quiet as the men, Captain Daniel and Mr Elliot, spoke. Until: "You're going to test it? Is that safe?"

They were on an airship, surrounded by airships. Where was he going to find somewhere to test this new weapon that someone wouldn't get hurt? It didn't make any sense to her.

Daniel Chuckles at Penelope's confused expression, "I would hope he wouldn't test it here,"

He walks over to the edge of the deck and leans on the rail. Looking down. he spots the young man. "I'm Captain Daniel." "That still sounds really strange to say"

"What can i do for you sir?" He attempts to push his goggles up on his head, only to find the larger lens had fused into his body with the last change with out effecting his vision. "oh well, whatever" He hides the motion making it look like he was adjusting his goggles.
