Gunner Gav laughed and giggled and smacked the lass as she passed him with a playful wink that promised some fun times for them once he returned to his cabin. The lass left and Gunner Gav drank more rum turning back to the captain and the conversation he wasn't really paying attention to. Mostly because he was drunk and he knew of the treasure already. Gunner Gav would have known better than to bring his treasure into the meeting if he wasn't drunk off his arse. But he was drunk and he wasn't thinking.<br/><br/>Gunner Gav wasn't a heavyweight when it came to alcohol. He was easily influenced by it and got drunk relatively quickly. However, he was able to hold a lot of alcohol without being sick, so he considered this a good thing. He'd get drunk on a bottle of rum and drink four more for fun.<br/><br/>When Sekesh started listing what she wanted done to the ship that's when Gunner Gav got involved in the discussion. He didn't deal with the staffing of the ship or the slaves or whatever, he just gave his reports on what he needed to keep the gunnery running smooth, the rest was left up to TTT and the Captain, but Gunner Gav knew the ship. He knew her inside and out and he knew what mods could be done here and now and what would require more tools than he had. More tools than those on board had.<br/><br/>He gave his input and took his list of tasks from the captain. Nodding once everything was hammered out. Gunner Gav knew how to get the mods done and he knew who he'd assign to what task. Even drunk off his mind he could still think enough to know what was required. If anything he was more daring while drunk then he would have been sober.<br/><br/>Gunner Gav leaned in once the maps were spread out. He let out a gasp of breath as he realized what he was seeing. It was the map of the Guardian's great ship and that was something he'd never thought to see in his life. In utter silence he cast his gaze over that great ship and knew her to be a monster. He pointed a few points on the map saying "These be the only points where our canons can breach her and open a port to get in. Them doors be sealed and none but the Guardian's staff will get in and out of those when under fire. Ain't no bridge on her. It's a sealed ship. We'll have to strike one of these points and make our own door to get inside. Only inside will we be any chance again her."<br/><br/>Some of his words were slurred, but the meaning was there. The great ships the Guardian's flew were sealed ships that had no outside deck, no staff would be outside the ship when it was engaged in combat. Every door would be reinforced along with the walls around the doors since those were usually the points where pirates tried to get in. The gunning slots would also be reinforced, as again they were common points of interest. The hall was solid steel and reinforced with even more steel over the areas above mentioned and the around the engines and tanks. Their only way to disable that ship would be to get into her. No wonder the princess was traveling aboard that ship. It was impregnable unless you had the plans.<br/><br/>They talked late into the night and it was dawn before the meeting concluded. Discussing plans for taking on the other ship and how they could pull off the heist. Once the meeting finished Gunner Gav headed to his quarters, slept off the drink amongst other things. It was early afternoon by the time he got around to getting the modifications organized and going. It was well into the next morning two days later by the time they were ready to go.<br/><br/>He stood on the bridge with the Captain, TTT and a few other man, gazing down at charts. "They will be leaving from here," He said pointing out the area on the chart, "we should intercept them here," he said pointing out an area between towns where they would need to utilize a gate to cross to the next splinter. This of course had already been decided during the first meeting, but of course the staff hadn't been made aware. So Gunner Gav acted like it was the first time he suggested this. "well need to use the drive," he added softly. The crew knew about their Time Machine, but no one referred to it in the open like this as anything except the drive, which could  be anything from the 'gates' to the 'steam powered engines'.<br/><br/>A few hours later they had engaged the Time Machine using Sekesh's secret code and TTT's code to activate the drive. Sekesh had gotten the coordinates entered and within moments they crossed across time and space and ended up two days in the past when the ship would be arriving on that particular section.<br/><br/>Sure enough the great ship came into view. A massive ship at least four times as big as the Black Eagle. There would be no doubt that this ship was the Guardian Ship upon which the Princess and her treasure was safely hidden. It was also a ship that would hold a Guardian and her BodyGuard.<br/><br/><a href="http://p1.pichost.me/i/41/1645462.jpg"><img alt="Image" src="http://p1.pichost.me/i/41/1645462.jpg" style="max-width:700px; max-height; 700px;"/></a>
