He could feel it, the tension slowly rising within the crew of Steel Maiden. The speck they saw from a distance remained a speck as it floated up to the skies. They were not gaining on them at all. It was when the Steel Maiden rumbled that everyone realized their captain switched the ship to attack mode. The steam powered propulsion system slowly extended, clouds of steam hissing from both port and starboard sides, the Maiden is on the rise.<br/><br/>Grabbing on to something, Lu kept his balance in-check while listening to the rhythmic sound the propellers made until the ship stabilized. He could now hear the sound of their engines gaining power. Surely the engine crew were feeding it mad with coal to get the boilers working. With the propellers on the sides keeping the Maiden afloat, it was time to bring out the pride of the Maiden, the steam turbines.<br/>While their ship is fairly large and relatively slow, in the skies the steam turbine will make a difference, the only drawback is that maximum speed can only be achieved on straight paths.<br/><br/>Sure, the Lady is fast but if they kept going in a straight line, the Maiden will slowly close the distance for sure. With the coming battle now taking to the skies, Lu knew their tactics had to change. Boxing them in now is impossible. Racing up to the bridge, Lu respectfully entered and stood a few paces away from the captain.<br/><br/>"Captain, given our current situation, we only have one shot to get them. I propose we use the harpoons on the bow to lock them in place. We can't board them from the sides since they will simply blast away at us with cannon fire. We can board them from the rear if we can hit them with the harpoons."
