Attention to all!

Despite all of the bad that may have happened, do not let your morale sink low!
I am sure the hardships this crew has faced so far will not hinder us in the future.
Just be thankful that tomorrow comes...

Fran!

Do me a favor and watch your back, alright? I don't what happened today but someone was killed...
They fell right in the turbines of the ship...not even a finger left to identify the mangled corpse.

I don't know if it was foul play or not but watch out.

Don't be too quick to trust anyone aboard this ship.

Something isn't right.

As much as I love pestering that brat, I got better things to do than check up on such stupidity.

I was hoping by now that someone would have news about who created these clanks, for I really doubt God played a role in this.

This damn thing is frickin' useless, nothing about these mechanical pests at all.

I guess our best bet is to rely on So-Jushirou's plan. Hopefully that guy can figure out of a way to disrupt these bugs mana using magic of some kind. I really need to re-look my notes about mana crystals, especially if people are going to try and sabotage ships using this mixture of technology and magic.

No word from Melior law enforcement on the servers about these creatures, nothing at all...

Tch, its like shooting blanks in the dark. What is really going on here?

Then you got that shifty-eyed bastard pestering Fran...

I wouldn't be surprised if that Ichimaru fella is behind some of this drama on this ship.
That guy doesn't sit well with me, no wonder the helmsmen dislikes him.
I really should do a background check on some of these people, I'll ask Fran about the records later once we are out of this sea of bullshit.

Believe it or not but it seems like our old friends on the Victoria II are having the same troubles we are having.

The little bugs are crawlin' all over the Victoria now.

Coincidence? Not likely.

How are things looking on your end?


[ooc: Thank Ichimaru for this bit of information

Don't be too hasty and just shoot the damn things! Capture a few of these little bots before you just out right bash them to pieces! I suggest we figure out exactly what they are and where are they coming from before we start to make a scene here.

I heard you've been in fight lately in town...

What happened...?

...Geez, Rikku. Did you have to toss my name like that? Especially tossing my name around Grand Admiral Manfred von Karma out of ALL people?

Fantastic.

I really can't believe how much chaos has happened over the network in just the last few hours.

All over some stupid ass who decided to post his 'sexual conquest' in public
Honestly, it wasn't anything THAT shocking...

Oh well, not my problem.

Hey, Fran...

I don't think we should be venturing out into Melior anytime soon. You aren't going to believe this but...

The Victoria II is docked here in town.

Well, that is certainly an unexpected turn of events...
Almost as if all of Reial is under attack now.

[Filtered: [Fran] || [Hard-to-Hack]

What the heck do you think is going on around here? Shit...I thought the bombs were only on the Victoria, the 4423 and the Way.

Seems like someone has a bad vendetta against airships or something like that!

[-Text-]

Are you feeling any better? I hope so, I've been working all day out here on the docks.
You better be staying in bed, you won't get any better if you are roaming around the ship!

...Just my luck.

We are stuck here for a while and Fran isn't getting any better. Judging how she is desperately trying not to cough up her lungs, I really hope we get the hell out of this town soon.

I really don't understand why she is so sick but maybe Vieras are more sensitive than humans...

Yeah, that could be it.

Well, I better stop fooling around on this stupid thing.

I'll head into town later, I don't think the medical ward on this ship has any suitable meds to take care of a Viera woman.
My best luck is traveling through town.

I suppose I won't be seeing either of you on the battlefield anymore.
I've left the military. Hope things are going well for you both!

See you whenever!

P.S.

Lot's of people know me by a different name now, so try not to call me 'Kiros' in public, alright?

And be careful if anyone contacts either of you looking for me.
I doubt anyone from the Victoria II knows about you, Beat but Winry...

Try and safe, alright? You two survived the clutches of death once, you two might not be so lucky next time.

Honestly, what did I expect?
She isn't a normal woman. Hell, she isn't even a human...
Stupid of me to have ever considered...whatever. I'm not going to dwell on it.

Besides…I think she sorta likes me? Maybe? Maybe just a little?
I wish Vieras didn’t have such a damn good pokerface… It’s like playing roulette with a pistol…never know when the bullet might blast your nose off.

Anyways, the new crew looks promising even if the men on this ship seem less than competent than their female crewmates.

The First Mate, Ivanova is a stern woman; I can tell she is the brains behind the operation here on the Silvana. Probably the brawn too, which makes me wonder what’s so special about Captain Rowe…

He seems like the quiet type, very moody sort of guy who probably broods too much for own good. Who’s really fond of the funeral color ‘black’...
I bet he is a great tactician, probably got some super smart genius or something...
I mean, he is the Captain of the 'Kill-em-all' Silvana, after all.

Meh, he'll show his true colors sooner than later. I just hope that that color isn't gonna be 'black'.

Well, I had better start getting to work. The last thing I need is for these folks to think I am freeloader or something.

The Silvana is an impressive ship that is for sure...
It's almost a shame that I am not a mechanic anymore, the engine for this tin bird is something special!

Not as if I would trade being a boatswain for a gig as mechanic, hell no. I am tired of working with grease and wrenches. To hell with that. Let Mr. Loud-Mouth deal with that crap.

Hello?

[-Obviously having some trouble setting up the parameters of his message at first, trying to make sure the military can't hack the signal-]

Is this thing on? Mhm, I think so...

[-There is a trickle of static within this entry but at least it's somewhat audible-]

I hope there's a few ships out there in Abanstire that is lookin' to pick up two stragglers.
If so, give me a reply or something! I'm itching to get back to the clouds again, stayin on the ground here isn't my idea of fun.

Mhm? [-A woman's voice pipes up for a moment but her words are murmured by the intense static in the background-]

I'm trying to get us a ship, alright? No, they won't know its us...
This channel is safe from those folks. Don't worry!

[-Sighs-]


[ooc: considering I am not feelin 100% lately, let's just get this show on the road now before I miss out on the opportunity to do this]

Considering this character is jumping ship soon, why not do a relationship meme now?

[-Lets out an exhausted sigh-]

Got to admit, if there are anymore surprises going to happen in the next few days...I'm not looking forward to them.

I am quite sure I am not the only person to hold such sentiments.

[Filtered to the Victoria II//[Voice]Unhackable] 

[-Corrects his casual tone before speaking toward the rest of the crew-]

How many injured do we have on board this ship now thanks to the explosives? I already know that the Admiral is...well, we all know what happened down at the engine room. 

I trust all the explosives have been found already and our First Mate is now in charge of the ship. 
We are heading to Claiborne, are we? I will start organizing a team to start repairs on the Victoria once we have reach there. I honestly do not know how much help I will be but I got enough painkillers to get me back on my feet soon.

[Filtered to Fran//[Voice] Unhackable]

Fran, are you alright? 

[/Filtered]

He certainly can't be trusted...
I suspect he is more chummier with the top officers than I formerly believed.
My proof of this may be lacking as or now, but like a true military hound...

He's begging so scraps.

I'll have to plan myself carefully, trust is not a easy token to win back.
Especially now with so much tension lingering in the air.

I'll lie to myself a bit more. I'll lie to them a bit more.
Would have thought that I would actually pick up a idea thanks to that annoyingly aggravating boatswain. I'll speak to him later.

To beat these dogs at their own game, one would have to think like one.

Richard...

I hope one day you will forgive me for all this but as of right now, you are dead to me.


[ooc: Remember, NONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS CAN SEE/REACT OR PLAN BECAUSE THIS POST DOES NOT EXIST AND IS PRIVATE TO KIROS' EYES ONLY AND UTTERLY UNHACKABLE.
^_^ okay? Good.]

...It seems our ship in question might be getting some help.

The 4423, I mean. Has anyone else heard this sickly girl's message?
I am not sure where this message is coming from but I have a feeling our pirates may have some help.
