Re: 6: Lakshadweep or Bust
In reply to Maybelle Diggory (msg # 749):
As Connor sorts through the signal flags, Dash recalls something he saw the former Captain of Black Talon walking around with, back at Bourbony, and begins searching the control cabin for a Bullhorn.
Dash searches about for a bit, going through cabinets and shelves -- finally locating the brass bullhorn (which the Vril had typically painted the outside of in black) hanging on clips abouve one window. As Dash reaches for the bullhorn, he realizes that this is the same window he'd leapt from in order to take out the hidden Vril gun emplacement, back on Bourboney.
Bullhorn in hand, Dash opens the window and brings the bullhorn up to his mouth,
"Ahoy Harbormaster! We are..." Dash pauses just a moment, as he realizes that he and the others had not yet thought of a different name for the dirigible, other than the original Vril designation of Black Talon.
In a hurry, Dash quickly responds with...
"...We are airship Raven, out of Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States. We are under contract to Lord Kentigern, of Scotland. We request permission to tie up and purchase supplies. Can you direct us to a large enough open area? Or maybe give us permission tie up over one of your docks?"
