Rano continued to look at the lever before sighing " it doesnt do anything......well that sucks." he pulled the lever again, dissabling the defense system below deck, letting all the blades drop and hand from the ceiling, no longer threatening Rocks life. He looked down to the docks to see Sophie and Reef approaching before shouting to her "Hey, Captain! whats with the crazy weapon system on this ship!

Rock jumped as everything fell in a clatter raising his arms over his head not to get his eyes poked out. He now stood in a mess of swords and blades. "So much for weaponry..." He sighed as he put on his metal-plated gloves and started picking up swords and stacking them against the right wall. Most were dull from age.

"I see." Sophie said from the door and turned off the traps by saying "Sophie." "Sorry but they're voice activated. They turn on when they don't hear me." she said and stepped on a trigger. "The pressure triggers just tell it where you are." she smiled.

Rano followed Sophie into the room before scratching his head and looking at all the blades leaning against the wall "huh?....where'd they all come from?"

"The hidden traps let everything go for some reason before Sophie got here... Gives us more blades, but except me, I don't know anyone else who uses swords... We could sell them in the market really quickly in trade for guns or parts... I still have to inspect what we already have before anything can be decided." Rock informed as he jerked his thumb at the gun pile he had made when he first got into the room.

Rano prodded on of the blades leaning against the wall before picking it up with a dissaproving look "pft, these arent blades, there no sharper than a butter knife, my blades could tear through a man like he was made of air, these things will be lucky to give him a lump on the top of his head....." He looked to Sophie with a slightly disgusted look on his face "honestly.....how can you live with yourself, treating a blade like this."

"To the looks of it, they've been in the traps for a very long time. Nothing a whetstone couldn't solve..." Rock said as he took a dagger from the ground and reached into his pocket for a sharpening stone and passed it along the blade really quickly, making a few sparks. After 5 or 6 times he held it towards Rano. "How sharp is that now?" he asked with a grin as he reached onto the torn tips of his cape and passed the blade along it. It seemed to melt right through with barely any pressure. "I've said this already, I had to take care of my own stuff and became skilled in maintenance of weaponry. What's a gun that can't shoot right or a blade that can't cut?"

Sophie looked at Rano and smiled. "I told you, this ship has been in my family for generations." she said. She touched a wall and smiled. "My great great grandfather first set up the system when his son was little. His wife had been killed when she was left alone on his ship. He swore it would never happen again to someone he loved." she told them. "They may not be anything to you, but all these blades mean a lot to me..."

"I'm sorry madame. I haven't thought of that. We will work with what we have. I may try and pull a few strings with some contacts, but I cannot promise anything." Rock said as he placed the dagger on a shelf. "Are you planning to put the traps back up, however?"

"its not that i think there worthless Captain...its the fact that you let them get to this state, i mean....pick up a whetstone once an a while!" He shook his head as he looked at the blades leaning against the wall before picking up a few of them "honestly, how are you supposed to protect your ship with dull blades...." he sat in a corner mumbling to himself as he pulled a whetstone from his pocket and began to sharpen them one by one.

"Yes I am planning to put them back." Sophie said and looked at the swords. "I guess your right, they have gotten old. I haven't really been around many people to get attacked." she said. "Not many like to fight skunks. The smell is so hard to get out." she giggled.
