the machine settled into a resting position and he put a hand on it lookng back at eli, not caring if his praise was true or not he didnt seem to care for praise.
"Aye, once you see sir but she's awful slow sadly" he brought a fist into his open hand with a sound hit "She can sure hit though....if you've other buisness i wouldnt put it past you to leave me here sir things are going to get interesting aroudn these parts for some time"
from where he was seated he saw the girl with the strange steamer trunk and leaned over the side puting a hand by his mouth he let out a small yell as so she could hear him
" 'scuse me ma'am! YOu need any help you seem a little lost!"

Emelia looked up from the map she was studying. The Khaos was supposedly docked two stations ago, but the crew of the Keyring, and the crew of the Cog's Tooth both assured her that they were not the ship she was looking for, but they could be if she asked nicely.
"Yes! Could you tell me if this ship is the Nodule, as it's supposed to be? The map the guild rep gave me this morning appears to be a little wrong!" She shouted back a little, hoping her goggles hid her blush. "Or if you might know where the Khaos is docked? Either way, you'd be very helpful!"

he let out a small laugh that was only possibly heard by eli as he stepped past him towards the railing he shouted back
"Look no further ma'am! As one of the crew of the khaos how can i be of any help? Someone like yourself shouldn't be wandering around without aim you never know when you might be swept off your feet and thrown someplace you dont want to be!"

Her blush deepened a bit and she raised the goggles from her eyes since she was in the shade of the ship and not going anywhere else it would seem.
"Well, I'm here to inquire about passage. Might you be the owner, Mister...um..." She glanced down to her list. "Montoya? Or the captain? Maybe the first mate?"

"Thank you for your help Mister Nysth! If you, or someone else, could let him know I'd wish to speak with him, I'd be most grateful." She gestured to the dolly with her large crate and her trunk on it. "I don't think these will make it up the ramp, and I'd prefer not to leave them unattended. I'm happy to wait as long as is needed!"
With that, she pulled her dolly closer to where the ramp to the deck rested, and sat down on the trunk, and using the crate as a desk to amend the incorrect map.

Daniel watches the wrestling teapot and dog. the teapot, quite outclassed, extends its stubby legs on small cables and wraps them around dogs torso and can now be seen riding the puppy like a horse. Daniel laughs at their antics.
"So you are looking for work eh? are you any good with engines? we have another mechanic but as we have two engines, we could use two techs to maintain them. once we get flying we can start taking jobs and hence pay will begin, but as for now we have room and board."
"I must make a log on which rooms have been taken...that way i can assign passengers to correct cabins...." Daniel ponders.
(just to clear things a bit: Eli is technically the first mate, being the oldest hand aboard experience wise. he and the Captain are both on deck right now. ^_^ we get location confusion rather often. also cargo can be loaded via a crane arm into the hold.)

The metal bird noticed a figure walking towards it, and hopped up and down with some mechanical form of glee. It settled in the opposite edge of the barrel, dropping its letter, seal-down, onto the top of the barrel. On the front, in cursive script, could be seen the message 'to the Captain, or whomsoever may be concerned'.

Myles picks it up, bows graciously to the bird, and reads the address. Then he looks over the edge where Daniel is conversing with someone. He holds the letter up and calls down, "Hoy, Captain! Message for you!"

Emelia heard some voices coming down from the deck, and looked up from her scribblings. She folded the map and stuffed it into one of her belt pouches before standing and waiting for what would hopefully be someone she could negotiate with for the cost of passage.

He flagged down a clank and set him to the crane to get her goods leaning back over the railing he shouted
"Come aboard, the clanks will know what to do with your luggage ma'am! If he's availible im sure he'll want to talk to you"
he took a step back telling another clank to open the ramp as he pressed a button on the side of his cannon, geting in he closes the cockpit raising it back up to a ready position he sets his communicator up against his face
"I wonder what she wants... hmm."

When she recieved no answer from Mr George, Penelope looked around for him. He was still working diligently, though the tables were more than clean. She made sure the kitchen was clean, then headed for the door. Despite her time aboard, Penelope still didn't know where anything but her room and the galley were aboard the ship.
"I'm going to wander around, maybe meet the rest of the crew properly." Penelope called to Mr George as she headed for the door. "Feel free to get settled in, the cabins are a level down. You'll probably have to clean out your room, the ship is still a bit messy from the previous owner. Lunch is at noon, be here at eleven to help me, please."
She walked out and headed up to the deck. It felt weird to be issuing orders, but at least she wasn't the one being ordered around this time. Between now and lunch, Penelope still had to figure out what to make for lunch, and what was for the rest of the meals. Her thoughts were interrupted by the light of day coming through the doorway ahead of her. She paused to let her eyes adjust, then commenced to wandering around the deck with no real reason.

"Um, thanks!" She hesitated before going up the ramp, looking at her crate. She jumped a little as the clank walked past and began to attach her luggage to a large crane arm.
"No, no, wait!" She touched the clank's arm, stopping its movements.
"Are your things not going on board?" It asked her. Emelia paused, listening to it's strange, finely tuned voice, then broke the spell by shaking her head a little.
"It's undecided as of yet. But, could you stand here and guard them while I speak to Captain Montoya?"
"Yes." Was its simple response.
"Excellent. Thank you." She patted the machine's arm, and if it could have blinked at her, she was fairly certain it would have. "I would love to see how it works. Maybe if I could, I could describe it to Uncle..." And she thought on the machine as she walked up the ramp and onto a deck where she knew only one person's name.

"wow there is a lot to take care of before i even get to the bridge and start callin out orders to start the engines..." Daniel thinks.
"If you have any luggage, please gather it quickly. I would like to fly today and we need this test flight. Make sure you are on board withing three hours time. We can always return for anything as we will be back before nightfall, Lord willing." Daniel turns as Myles approaches, "A message? From whom? Please excuse me sir i have much to get done." Daniel grins and takes the letter from Myles. "Hmmm is from the Guild Master! I wonder whats up." He proceeds to carefully break the seal and open the letter.
(Capt Amaranth please fill in what the letter says)

(I say start up the engines already we can get to dealing wit all the other ppl once we do!)
has fallen asleep within his weapon again, his snoring heard on his communicator if anything is on the same transmission as him, this all taking quite too long and instead of frustration he chose sleep
