Abigail adjusted her glasses and brought the robot closer, watching as it rolled about to display it's stomach. It took a few seconds before she got the painfully obvious message.
"Oh, oh! Terribly sorry." Her free hand flew to her mouth as she glanced around for the sink.
She navigated around the mess of tables and chairs, mentally groaning and lamenting the destruction of all her hard work yesterday, and placed the bot on the sink edge. She turned on the faucet and held her hand again under the stream so the bot could jump down under the water and not get stuck in the bowl.

"It seems you know me all too well Doc, but if its your orders i'll stay in bed"
he said as he was putting on his things, filling his pockets with his various tools, he tied the bandana around his forehead and clicked a small button on his communicator, something would buzz on his captains ear followed by his voice
"Sorry cap'n but i patched through to your earpiece as it is a machine it wasnt hard to get through but i hope you dont mind, orders?"

Stea leapt into the water and let out a loud buzzy as he started steaming, the water cooling his over heated system, his stomach filled with the water. Once he was full, Stea could shut his down door and latch it, having regained strength. He scampered out of the palms and the sink and scurried out of the work room and up the the deck, spying the firey balloon far off in the distance, buzzing nervously.
---
Zee felt physically better, knowing Stae was safe. Now, if only he'd make it out of this alive...
((This is tough without the other guy here. He's the one Zee is talking to x.o))

((Lol yeah, Imber runs odd hours but rest assured he'll be around sooner or later.))
"Well, easy come easy go I suppose." Abigail crossed her arms, watching the spider as he darted up and away into the ship.
As easily as the medbay had filled up it had emptied. Penelope had managed to make a getaway when the pirates had piled in, the captain came and took care of business which got rid of the pirates, Nysth came to get himself some healing and would be off getting himself into more trouble and the latest little wonder on the ship had come just as mysteriously as he'd arrived. Suddenly it was only herself and Emelia.
She smiled tiredly at the lady and gestured to her torn dress.
"I wasn't going to ask earlier in front of everyone, but they didn't hurt you did they? Or worse?"

Emelia had sat down in a corner, bewildered, having not even noticed the little spider clank, and then everything had seemed to whirlwind around her until the Doctor asked her if she was all right.
"Oh, I'm, I'm fine!" She blushed, pulling the edges of the rip in her skirt together again. "The...the captain got to them before they could do anything more than leer at me." Her blush deepened and she looked at the floor before trying to stand. "I should...I should go back to my quarters and change. And find the Captain. And thank him."
She took a step, then stepped back and sat down again. "Although he may not want passengers at this point..." The girl was clearly going into some sort of shock or panic attack, shaking, looking on the verge of tears, the hand holding her skirt together clenched tight around the fabric.

Abigail clasped her hands before her, as she was prone to do at times like these, followed after her.
"Emelia -and I hope you do not mind me addressing you so informally- the captain's a good man. Look how feverishly he took out those bastards when he found out they were here! He most certainly will not be going back on his word. Wherever you're going, we'll get you there." She attempted as warm a smile as she could muster. "And miss, do not think that you have to uphold some sort of etiquette here, especially around me. I understand you will want to change clothing but should you feel the need to speak, about anything mind you, I may not be the best talker on board but I'm always available to listen."

Myles is still missing, though understandably in the immediate post-combat chaos it may take a while for his absence to be noted.
However, what may be noted by anyone servicing the engines is that someone has been tampering with the settings. Changing valve pressures, loosening a fitting here, tightening another there. What may not be noted immediately is that these tweaks are invariably improvements, increasing fuel efficiency just a little, boosting potential output a tad, et cetera.

he quickly made his way to his gun to find in perfect order as it was hidden away in a cimpartment and he took off something on the front of the gun, attaching a grappling add on to his weapon ahe dropped an aether cap in the engine and it roared into life, he got in and got into position eyeing the air balloon losing pressure he fired the grappling hook at the ballon, they were literally now being dragged on board as he turned a wheel he replaced for the joysticks he had to aim, slowly so they didnt fall out but quick enough that the balloon didnt colapse.

Zee felt they balloon jerk. They were heading towards the other craft. Thank god. Once the were close enough, Zee jumped off the flaming balloon. He took a knife from his pocked and cut the rope, shoving the balloon off so it would finish burning far fro mthe craft. He didn't need THIS catching fire, too. It wasn't long before Stae scurried up his friends leg and rests on his shoulder, buzzing happily to be with Zee again.
Zee went over to the man who had tugged him in. "Zedock Reuben Thaddeus is the name, sir. Pleasure to meet you." Zee kept his words short as he looked around. There had been fighting here. He shoved his hands into his pocket and shifted weight, taking in his sights. "Is the captian of the ship around?"

Emelia looked up at the Abigail, taking in what she said. She was still shaking when she finally spoke. "I do...I do believe he is a good man. But we had barely agreed upon my coming aboard before the test flight occurred. Now that this has happened...who knows what he may want to do." She overlapped the edge of the rip, fiddling with them while keeping herself covered. "I have never traveled on my own before, this is all....so very new and different. Thank you for being so kind." She looked back down at the floor, frowning, and wondering if she could stand. Even if she could stand, she wasn't sure how to get back to her room.

once the line had been cut, he turned back to safety putting all its features back in normal order and jumped out to greet the man, it was an odd way of meeting but he paid it no heed, and offered a hand, his battle wounds aparent as he was bandaged nearly all over he let out a weak smile
"I cant reach him on the com, but i suppose he is around they call me Nysth Kala'failrre i hail from the towns up north, this here is my gun and for your and my safety please do not touch it, im about to do rounds of the ship starting with the engines, care to tagg along?"
he said as he began to walk away making his way to the engine room he had noticed myles dissapearance.

[Imber runs English hours I'm afraid. Also I've been away, and came back later than I had hoped. Sorry 'bout that]
Jumping out of the craft shortly after Zee, Elliot landed softly behind him.
"I'm glad you'd managed to pilot that thing close enough before it burnt up, I'd have hated to have to carry you across to the Khaos myself. The Captain is around, but we've had a few troubles of our own with a few pirates. Got a new ship out of it as well. Care for some liberated booty? Brigadier General Elliot Lucian Vidal, by that by, and at your service."
Elliot smiled, something within him seemingly satisfied. When he had come to such a lighter mood could not to certain, especially since no-one would like to suggest that fighting was resonsible for putting him in such spirits. And he would scoff at anys uch suggestion were it mentioned openly to him.

Zee raised his eyebrows, feigning amusment. "Pirates? No, I'm good. Thank you." he pet Stae's back, the littel creature buzzing and steaming happily. "It seems as though i have no choice but to ride it out with you guys. I'll work for my stay. Stae is good with his legs, and i know a thing or two about working with my hands." Zee felt sleepy and leaned back against the wall of the ship.

he had reached the engine room to find everything out of order, if not fixed it would be a serious problem so he set to work, turning his com on he patched into a tub near eli, and spoke
"Cheif gunner Eli, i need you to come to the engine room immediately, Thanks over"
as quick as his vocice rang from the tube it was gone, he set to work fixing everything
