I snatch the gun from Drako. I check the cell, finding the filament in it destroyed, I throw the cell to the ground. "Well, now, I think you will get the chance. Good thing I have extra charge cells, I just need to make them into that." I point to the broken cell. "Well, You make it so that it works with magic, on the same frequency, as all energy has a frequency. I tuned it to mine, and then let it work. It, well, was a mistake. I WAS going to reverse engineer it, but that won't be happening." I glre at him, then shrink back from his own glare at me. "But I guess you guys would do for an airship crew. You will have to meet Charlie, a very nice man, bit touchy. Though, I know you will get along with him." I walk out. I wasn't sure if they followed me, but I kept talking all the same. "Any of you know how to refit and outfit aircraft?"

I looked at him skeptically, "Well, considering my age of over three hundred years, back when aircrafts where in their prime....no...no I dont. But as a weapon specialistt I wouldn't mind outfitting it with a few of my specialties, my weapons dont exactly run on magic but their enchants might as well make them magic using. Need an ver lasting cartridge of exploding bullets? I'm your man, heck, heat-seekers aren't even that hard to make! So, where is this airship? I'd like to take a look at it."

I lead him to the streets, laughing at his sarcasm. "Well, can you do stealth? Like make an F-16 from attack to ground? Or an F-117 ground to ariael? I am lucky they had one on that thing that was dogfioghting worthy. Or how about adding cannons to the airship itself? That I would like to see you do. And enchanting the weapons-" I catch myself rambling. I just keep walking. I see a sparkle inthe sky as we come to a deserted park, and radio Charlie to let us board. As the time goes by, the airship comes into view. The large engines humming, while the shape comes down. Soon, the whole thing is seen, a large sleek aircraft, easily being the size of an aircraft carrier, as large as the Kennedy, and still about a good hundred feet off. The hanger bays shooting off from either side, making it look like something from a Sci-Fi movie. "Here she is. Ready to board?"

I look at the aircraft, clearly impressed and say almost under my breathe, "If I can't attatch a weapon to it its most likely made of air." I jog around the aircraft, mapping where to put the weapons and what kind would go where. I arrive back over with Scarlet and Vincent, "Yep, this will be easy, missle launchers, turrents, machine guns, hell I could attach a nuke to her. You have blueprints of her? I could map out where what would go best, unless you think you could do better?" I folded my arms and raised a quizical eyebrow.

I grab the ladder up to the aircraft. "Well, I will let you do the airship herself. I will focus on the jets." I laugh. "Blueprints should be in engineering, most likely in hard and soft copies." I start to climb. "Oh! And there will be a captains dinner for our new crew members."

Scarlet shook her head in amusement "I think I'll stick to the fighters.Becides,Drako knows how much of a fighter I am."She winked at Drako who started to blush sheepishly.

"Well, I will see you at the Captain's dinner. Charlie will be there, but he is in the hanger, waiting for me to start the refits. Hope you guys feel at home in this metal monster." I nod and start of towards the left hanger. The one that held the F-117's. My favorite plane. I meet up with Charlie, already set to work on one. "Hey C, I will set to work right now." I don a large apron, and set to work on the plane I would dub the Geraldine ARC I, or my personal fighter, once I attached the turrets miniguns and replaced the internal bombs with pop out missiles. I would also base the miniguns on magic bullets, when I got a good cell. I swap out the bombs, and place in the rig to pop-out, that was easy. During firing, the bay doors and rig would make it visible, which during firing of bombs it did anyway. The miniguns would be harder, because they are on the outside anyway. Once done with the missile rig, I grab a large minigun, and look at it. "You my friend, will need to be stealthified. A good skin of armored Tetroflouridian will do the trick for you!" I look over at the spray nozzle for various tasks. "C, I will be right back, going to get the Tetro." He nods, still working on the rigging for the third. Aside from my plane, we worked on all of them together. Once back, I start to spray on the stealth skin, and then file down the rougher edges. I had to reduce the RCS in order for it to be stealth. Once done, I attach the miniguns to my plane. I apply a fresh paint job in black and gray, with the alphanumerals G ARC I, or the code for my plane, on it's tail fin. I inspect my handy work. She was dogfighting worthy.

I wipe the oil from my hands with a clothe as I walk up to her. "Would you like something? Perhaps a plane, or to test fly? You will get to pilot it yourself, and I would be behind you in my plane?"

I let my jaw gape. "That is stealth!" I point to the F-117 I had been working on. Then to the F-22, and 16.

"I'm not saying that they arn't,just tht one of them I don't believe yu have here.It would be known as the B-2 spirit (stealth) bomber.That could really kick some goverments a**.But that would be just me since even if you did have it you would need a pilot and a navigater in it."

I hold up a finger. "Hey C! Have you found a B-2 bomber yet?" He hollars the affirmative. "Well Scarlet, I think we do! Just not here." Charlie calls that it is in the bottom.

I walked over to the others, taking off my reading glasses, a large bundle of blueprints in the crook of my arm. "Well, I got the blueprints worked out, Vinc, as the captain you should probably look at these." I tucked the glasses in the folds of my coat and pulled out two palm sized stones, white with blue swirlds on them, I handed one to Scarlet and Vinc each, "These are called hearthstones, they used to be used to return the user to the hearth of whichever Inn they got it from, but since there aren't realy anymore inns around, I decided to make them take you here. Cover the rock with both hands for about three seconds and you'll come right back here. It takes an hour or two to recharge though so dont expect to use it to go errand running." I stuffed mine back in my pocket as they examined theirs, Vincent most likely unconsiously examining its value. "I'm a bit rusty with the tools but I should be able to make the required weapons in a month, but then again thats by myself, its good to have the only magical forge left in the world." I thought fondly of my days deep in labor, pounding on the metal, its orange glow matching the intensity of my eyes. I blinked and realied I was staring right at Scarlet. I winked at her and went back to the engineer's room, expecting Vinc to follow me, as he did, to examine my design for the weapon layouts.

I twirl the stone between my fingers. "You sure I can't just "sell" it? I would get it back." I shiver from his expression on that one. "Okay. So what do you have for me? Oh! If you need help, you can bring anyone on board, of course, they will have to pass my inspection, but you could." I thumb through the blueprints. I spot a large blank in the map. "Wait. Whats that?" I point to it.
