Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mad-master, he's a bit traumatized. What should I do?"

"Kind of busy at the moment!" Hector snapped, dodging a cannon fired by air pirates. "Damn!" She said before pulling opening a latch to send a message to the crew "Calling all fighting troops! Head to the machine's hanger at once! We're under attack. Jeff and Lance, go to the maintenance department and keep a good eye on the mechanisms. This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!" She yelled, before closing the latch.

Air pirates? Victor shot up. Those bastards would be going down if he had anything to say about it. However, the strong winds would make things difficult.

Danny had finished his flower gun with six petals, each with barrels mounted on them much like a revolver. He found and attached a handle at the back to make turning it much easier (in place of a trigger) and the main anti-overheating system was a huge bulk in the back, only seen by the person standing behind the 'sunflower'. It would not only provide a rapid firing rate of six bullets every few seconds but if his prototype was correct, it would also provide a suitable shield for the gunner standing behind it. He hammered the brass and iron a little more and heated them again and again, carrying the entire thing with him to the engine room after a while. The sleepy-eyed inventor tried to make it as even as possible so when the 'petals' spun, it wouldn't be heavier on one side than the other. He spun it around a few times, touching the barrels to make sure they were in place and a bolt fell. He frowned and attached it again after reheating it on the engine and hammering it some more. Eventually, the device seemed to fit his expectations. All that was left now was the bullets. He got a semi-sphere and began forcing the molten iron onto it, eventually making two of those as his first bullet, then another and another until he had enough metal to sink an airship.

He then checked how it would mount on the airship. For that, he checked with Ruby, carrying the heavy thing with him. He knocked on her door and said in a gentle voice, "Miss, I want to ask a question. Can I mount a gun on your ship?"

((OOC: ))

"..... Small, medium and large gyroscopes, miniature furnaces, raw steel for production...." The man rattled on, listing what Gacamo already knew he bought. Both employees of the merchant and his own assistants were hurrying back and forth from the convoy outside the work shop, trying to unload everything before sunset. He would finally being opening up his own shop, finally free to attempt to build what ever pleased him. All he needed was time now, that and a few customers.

Victor frowned at Hector's pushiness, but nonetheless gave the directions. "Our military airship should be able to handle the sky pirates" he added, "so we needn't worry about them pursuing us". Victor gazed out the window again to see what was going on.

"Yes" Victor said as the winds blew harshly. He kept a firm grip on his hat as he walked along. He kept a firmer footing this time as he now knew what to expect weather wise.

Victor went to aid in the combat with the sky pirates. "Where is our ship?" he cursed, cursing the weather as well. It was really making it difficult for combat.

Victor had braced for landing when the airship came down. He walked over to where Hector was. "You looking for me?" he asked.
