Hamerlin watched and braced as the airship jumped, it's balance, weight and much diffrent to the first flight and the engines kicked in. It lurched, slower, heavier and felt more.... well it was loaded down with more gold than a man could spend in a single life in sanity. 

"Brace" He said to himself as Gravity and life began to change over as they rose, the experimce was jarring for a man who liked heavy steel and waves over this. 

Their was a whole event going on outside on railings but he had no time to worry about that right now as he looked onwards at the changing and moving view, the airship was certainly alot more agile than ots huge size let on. 

"Ready turn to 220 on mark, keep us unpredictable. Don,t give em a free shot at side soon as we safely away." He said in a tone of forced calm as his hand shook on the Navigators station. The entire airship shuddered or he thought it did but probbly was his own mind playing tricks back to that dark day. 

"Anyone else feel like a pirate?" He joked to hide his own weakness behind bravado, an Officer had to mantain their calm and control even when they did not feel so.
