Zeppelin #27, Gondola
[hr]

"[i]Porca Miseria![/i]" Christina spat, climbing up the ladder and running back to the engine compartment.

Once inside, she sprinted to the main panel and pressed the button for the compressor. With a belch of black smoke, it stirred to life while she turned the dial and began throwing levers. This wasn't going to be like the first time, the gas bags were already beginning to swell. 

"You better have counted, [i]cretino[/i]!" she yelled. Blowing the whistle for the speaking tube, she removed the cover and yelled into the horn. "Inflating! Get them aboard now!"

Outside, the zeppelin was already pulling on the ropes that secured it to the ground.
