Gunner Gav nodded gravely and also departed the cabin. He was grinning broadly as he walked down the halls of the ship. He headed for the mid decks where his gunner crew would be. He smiled as he entered the room filled with the smell of gun powder, steam and oil. He watched the gears moving all around the deck. Chains flowing through holes and steam rising all around them. He smiled and laughed lightly. He loved the harsh sounds of the gears smacking into each other. The constant hiss of steam.<br/><br/>It was beautiful. It was paradise. It was home.<br/><br/>"GET ME THOSE GUNS LOADED!" he shouted to be heard over the racket of man laughing in their gaming as they threw dice, over the racket of the gears and chains and steam powered machines hissing, whirring and creaking, the clang clang clang of metal a constant to the hiss hiss hiss and pop pop pop of the steam engines and machines.<br/><br/>"WHERE GOING TO BE PILLAGING US SOME RUM BOYS!" he thundered as the man rose slowly and then quickly went about doing their work with cheers and delight. Gunner Gav walked back and forth between them watching as they worked. He went to the end picked up the large ear tube that would give him direct communication with the upper decks and pulled it close to his ear in time to hear the captain ask for more power.<br/><br/>He watched as his canons and guns were pushed to their slots fully loaded. His man standing by their guns and canons ready. "WHERE ALL SET CAPTAIN" he screamed into the ear piece even though he didn't have to scream to be heard. He always screamed when he was down here. He was always loud and roady down here. Never soft spoken when near the guns. Excitement and energy ran rampart through his body. He was almost bouncing on his toes.
