"Mister Mirazdar," Arkadios nodded towards Zano, "Take a team and disconnect the cables.  Report back when the ship is free and we are all aboard."

"Miss Ferrari, stand by the deflate the ballonettes and dump the ballast," he continued, "If it requires a second pair of hands, enlist the help of Mister Carter."

"If anyone needs me and it isn't too complicated, I'm here!" Zoe announced from the corner, "Otherwise I'll try to keep out of the way."

"Good," Arkadios nodded, moving to stand where he could watch the ridge where the horses had been, "Try to make it fast. We may not have overly long to get this ship into the sky... but we will be fine so long as nobody dawdles."
