Myles swiftly closes the door, noticing that beneath the elegant wood veneer is a thick metal panel. He spins the wheel, shutting it firmly.
"That looks like it will hold up handily. At the very least we'll not be caught unawares, eh?"

"Well, Mr. Kalafailrre." said Elliot, looin over at the somewhat unhinged crewmate how ruining the boarding party. "That changes things. You attack all you like."
He turned and moved in front of the boarding party not being turned to mincemeat, his arms crossed behind his back, holding his rifle high into the air. He addressed the boarding party in a cold, detached voice.
"Now, Pirates and Captain, You have already met my freind here and as you can see he is none to pleasant concerning the likes of you. You may wish to leave now, and I invite you to do so. If not, well then you can face me well. And that will be worse."
Seeing that the crew seemed reluctant to back down, even when faced with a beserker, Elliot swung his arm round, cutting the foremost pirate in half in one movement. His arm swung back in the same movement, resting once more with the rifle high in the air. In all this Elliot's face remained impassive. The be-masked half even more so.
Hmmm. I wasn't sure I could still pull that off after all this time. I hope my other faculties have withstood time so well.

he had heard eli's words but lacked the means to respond he continued to pummel a pirate that was weaponless on the floor, his face bloodied by the beating and the p0irate screaming for mercy but he would find none as his throat was literally ripped from his throat, seconds later seeing another pirate sliced clean in half he simply nodded and continued to fight, himself having sustained several fatal wounds continued to fight oblivious to everything untill few were elft and the cap0tain of the pirates emerged, having lost his own jacket now that it was a bloddied mess riddled with holes he continued to fight the pirates ignoring the captain the only thing that was heard from him was the savage yelles that escap0ed his lips as he would fight. his clothes drenched in blood he turned to face the captain as the few pirates that were left scrambled across the deck he held his blade facing towards him in a manner that seemed to be singling him out from the rest and he took a running start forward to charge the cap0tain only to fall forward hitting his head against the rails and finally knocking him unconcious, bloodied and terribly wounded he didnt even make a move to get up, he had taken too much of a beating but had taken out alot of men in the process, his sterling silver blade fell from his hand and skid along the deck.

Well this was pleasant. Apparently the order had been given to hole up. Ah well. Albrecht could follow the orders given him when he trusted the individual giving them. Rare enough, but it was HIM who'd walked in to join THEM. He wouldn't have done so without some idea where they stood.
However, as soon as the captain showed up, promptly threatened by Eli, Boom-Boom stepped forth, growling like the wolfpup it had been constructed to emulate.

The Admiral surveyed the carnage before him - none to happy for the extent of the bloodshed - and slowly made his way towards the pirate captain; hands open.
"So, Captain.... what was it, Dart?" He said, feigning ignorance. "What brings you to my waters, as it were. I do hope you weren't planning to destroy my fair city."

Daniel wasn't happy either, Nysth had gone beserk. the utter destruction of several of the pirates at close range was enough to turn a leser mans stomach. "better hope the ladies dont see this." he thinks grimly.
The Dreadnought had ceased its attack and was drifting dead in the air. Daniel set the auto pilot to keep them within range of the big vessal but out of possible cannon range. The navy was close at hand now, ready to take the ship. Unhooking himself he heads to the door,
"Myles lets clean up this mess, quickly and with less blood than or friend Nysth has shed."
He heads down to the main deck standing a bit behind the admiral.
-------
"You bloody well know why I'm here you cur! You exiled me from the guild fleet! Cast me away like a broken cog after i won that battle for you."
Dart had indeed won the battle long ago against the guild, but the utter ruthlessness of his offense was his downfall.
Dart eyed the clank man behind Amaranth. "he must be the capn of this ship." he assumes due to Daniel's old military hat.

Abigail frowned and propped herself on her elbows, still standing at the window. She wasn't terribly worried; the window only provided a view of the other ship and there was little action going on, only the occasional fire from the bots or the enemy. What did have her worried was the boarding ship that had puttered across the rift onto their ship and the racket coming from above. Leaving her window, she grabbed the com and connected the wire to the main deck. No one replied. Growing a bit more concerned, she placed the com back on the shelf and crossed her arms, chewing her lip in thought. Perhaps things weren't going terribly well upstairs. Turning to face the other women, Abigail voiced her concerns; surely she wasn't the only one thinking something was awry. How could they not? Stuck inside with no word. Even a confirmation of things taking a turn for the worse would be better than waiting in tense isolation.
"Count me amongst the concerned. It doesn't sound as if anyone's up there- just a bunch of noise in the background, nothing we can't hear from here." She wondered if she ought to be making a quick round on deck. It was her job after all to swoop in and remove wounded from the fray.

Whilst still facing the enemy, and remaining at his unconventional stance, presumably what was equivalent to attention in whatever strange military he had once served in, Elliot called across the deck, reaching the comm. tubes.
"Clanks! Cease fire. Clank 1 come to the deck and take Mr. Kalafailrre to the medical bay. He requires urgent attention." the fool
He returned his attention to Captain Dart, and what remained of the boarding party. Some dozen or so men still, but rather shaken by Nysth's brief fury.
"Sir! You will surrender immediately, or I will remove what remains of your crew from this world!"
Spying a pirate of the boarding party that was somewhat less frightened than the others, and trying to edge round out of sight, Elliot swung his arm, and his Chronophage, in a arc that lead to the barrel pointing directly at the errant foe. Elliot fired a signle shot, which sent the pirate spinning into the skies, already dead. Elliot used the recoil from the shot to swing his arm back, once more at attention.

"You fool!" The Admiral said, firmly addressing the ruined captain. "You won no such battle; all you succeeded in doing was butchering the crew of an airship that had already surrendered. And because of that, I had no choice but to have you arrested - but of course by then you had already fled. Murderer you may be, but you're still a coward."
He performed a quarter turn - the sensible man's equivalent of turning one's back to someone.. "Someone, please arrest that... man. Ensure he has no weapons."

Talon started cutting the claws and then had an idea. She took more slack and started to climb up the ladder upside down and on to the other ship. She sunk in to the engine room and grinned starting to tinker. She messed up the controls and opening the hatch to the balloon slightly so they would deflate very slowly. She was working hard when a gun barrel pressed its self to her head. "Whaca doing there love? Drop your tools please hands in the air. She smirked and dropped the welding torch she was holding. It went in to his foot. The pirate yelled in pain and she pulled the cord connecting the torch to the fuel source.
She put the torch to the mans neck. "Give me you gun."

Steamgeek "Count me amongst the concerned. It doesn't sound as if anyone's up there- just a bunch of noise in the background, nothing we can't hear from here." She wondered if she ought to be making a quick round on deck. It was her job after all to swoop in and remove wounded from the fray. Emelia blinked, wide eyed at the doctor, her pallor turning almost a green blue at her worry. She groped for a chair and sat down quickly. "Can...can you see anything out the window? Any idea of what's going on?"

Abigail could all-too-easily see the woman's unease and yet could not keep her mouth from jabbering on its own. Her mind reached desperately to pull the words back into her throat but it was too late- her mouth had already run away with its stupidity.
"You can hardly see anything save the shooting and occasional drop of a body." Her tongue made an attempt to salvage the mistake. "Of course, thus far I have yet to see any of our men fall over board." Ah yes, instant success.
Clasping her hands together, Abigail sucked her lips into her lungs and focused on not making any more brilliant remarks. She paused in a moment of reflection, thinking of how poor her rapport and etiquette skills had become in a single day.

Penelope listened hard for any clue of what was going on above. She could hear nothing. No, wait, there was something coming down the hall. Either it was someone very heavy wearing boots, or there was a clank coming. She hopped from her seat and stood beside the door, listening carefully. It would be horrible to open up the door and see a pirate standing there with a gun.
"I think there's someone in the hall. Watch out." she informed the doctor and their passenger. Slowly, Penelope opened the door and peeked out. There was a clank holding a bloody and unconscious Mr Nysth.
"Heavens above." she pushed the door open to let it in.
