Posted, left the ending open ended so that the "captain" may respond how he likes to Krauss.

Beyond the Storms

In the early hours of the morning, the sun had finally began to show itself over the cloudy horizon. As the sun peaked through the gray clouds the light revealed a strange aircraft sitting on the tarmac, ground crew buzzing around it with crates and supplies. At first glance, it just seemed to be an irregular, twin engine aircraft, however, today something seemed wrong about this plane... very very wrong. The engines and its wings were tilted upwards, as if someone had put them on the wrong way!

Since its arrival two weeks before at the airport, the aircraft had been shrouded in mystery. Nobody except a select few were even allowed into the hangar it was kept in, much less to even see it. However, today was the day it was to be officially revealed. This aircraft was dubbed the AV-44 "Endurance", a landmark and pinnacle of aviation technology of the day.

It is a tilt rotor design aircraft, a hybrid of both helicopter and plane. According the officially released statement, it was a wondrous craft that offered the range and speed of an airplane, but the versatility and maneuverability of a helicopter. However, the official release did omit a few... say, important details that its pilot had come to learn. First and foremost, while it could hover much like a helicopter, it was nowhere as nimble and swift as a helicopter when the propellers where tilted up. In this "VTOL" mode, it was sluggish on the controls, lacking any sort of fine touch. The Endurance had also killed plenty of test pilots in this mode too, and only just recently had they solved the final crippling design flaw.

For most pilots, this would be some serious red flags, leading to many not even taking the job. But not for one pilot, who had always longed for a challenge. He walked along his new aircraft, running his hand across its fuselage. His face was covered in small scars, his hair oddly grey for a man of younger age. The ground crew chief jogged up to him, holding a clipboard.

"She's ready to go, Mr. Helfer. The Garrloch is waiting for you in the harbor just as scheduled. Best not to keep that captain waiting." Krauss Helfer, a well known pilot, formerly of the Avalian Airborne Navy had been selected to fly this machine. He was utterly fearless in facing the prospect of flying such a new, virgin craft that was the Endurance. Smiling, he took the pre-flight clipboard from the crew chief and nodded.

"Thanks, I guess I'll be on my way. Wish me luck!" Krauss said, climbing into the cockpit. "Engine one, start..... Engine two, start..." The rotors began to turn, the blades slowly but surely began to pick up speed. A small crowd of onlookers and airport personnel had gathered to watch. "...Aaaaand, lift off!" The AV-44 began to slowly rise off the ground, landing gear retracting. As is rose into the air gradually, the small crowd gave a cheer. Krauss dipped the craft forward and carefully began to gain momentum before rotating the propellers forward and flying off towards the bay.

By the time the Endurance had entered the airspace of the DOC, the morning sun was now shining fully in the sky. Krauss circled the UIS Garrloch, admiring the ship from above. Upon seeing people on both the dock and the ship's deck, an idea popped into his head.

"This is AV44 to the Garrloch. Will be making a landing pass, then requesting to set down on the helipad, over."

"This is Garrloch traffic control, you said 'Landing Pass'? Please confirm, over."

"Indeed I did Garrloch, over."

"Uhm... Request granted. You are clear to land on the Garrloch landing pad, over...."

With that, Krauss put the airplane into a hard right bank. While it was fairly sluggish in VTOL mode, this aircraft was surprisingly very nimble in flight mode. Turning sharply, the Endurance suddenly got very low to the water, flying only 30 so feet above sea level, straight towards the ship and dock. The aircraft's engines roared as Kruass zoomed right over the heads of those on the ship and the dock, tipping his wings in salute as he passed.

Finally, he turned the aircraft around again, killing much of his speed and rotated the his engines to VTOL mode. Gracefully, the Endurance touched down on the landing pad of the ship, propeller blades gradually slowing to a halt. Krauss hopped out of his airplane, giving a nod to the ship personnel who began to move the aircraft inside the hangar, before making his way through the ship to find the captain to report in.

Sorry for the short posts! I was really tired after working in 35 degrees and ended up drinking alcohol after work on the beach with friends so I am kind of tired. MY FAULT!

Addison watched as this strange, adorable cat girl picked at her uniform. She knew that this level of ignorance must be more unique to this girl, as opposed to the other locals. Once again restraining herself, Addison simply chuckled and said, "You can stop now, that's not dirt. My clothes are designed this way so that I can blend into the countryside better. You know, sneak around if I need to." However, the girl was relentless and continued her investigation. This cat girl leaned in to get a closer look, but then suddenly recoiled.

"So you DID fell, here I can help you miss."

"Oh that's not necessary, its just some minor damage, I can han-" Addison suddenly stopped and stared in awe as this silly little cat girl preformed an act that, only moments ago, Addison would have never thought possible. She placed two hands over a particularly nasty cut on Addison's hand. Suddenly, blue glow surrounded her hands, magic sparking off of it as the wound suddenly healed. Addison felt no pain and in fact, felt slightly better than before. When the cat girl had finished, Addison simply stared at her hand, rotating it around, testing it. It felt better than ever to her... Addison was silent for a moment as the cat girl lectured her. Her mind drifting away, thinking of all the people she could of saved with this kind of power...

"You shouldn't walk about with injuries like this. You'll get your hand chopped off like this one day! Any more pains? You're not going away until all your pains are healed nya!"

Addison quickly snapped back into focus with a slight shake and smiled again. "Well you didn't have to do that, little missy! Thank you, I do feel a lot better now. Sorry if I seemed shocked for a second there, it's just that, were I'm from, nobody really uses...." Addison took a shot in the dark. "...magic. Yeah... But you seemed quite skillful with that little ability of yours. I wish I could repay you, but uhh..." Addison suddenly came to the full realization she had absolutely no money, neither dollars (like they would take them), or whatever the locals used. In fact, Addison wondered if they might not even have currency and worked on a purely bartering type system. Pushing those thoughts aside, she finished her sentence. "... I don't have any money..."

Addison peaked out of the alleyway once more, this time determined to figure out what the hell had happened to her. Taking one strong step forward, she entered the grand market, surrounded by so many foreign creatures and sights. Despite the subtle dire tone of the situation, Addison could not help but be in slight awe at the sight before her. "It's almost just like those crappy online RPGs I used to play back in the day..." she quietly muttered herself as she shuffled through the crowd. For the most part, she ignored the very obvious stares she was getting. "I get, I get it. Camouflage such as this isn't exactly a thing for you guys!" she thought, slightly frustrated.

Addison was so wrapped up in the sights and her thoughts that she nearly ran over a poor small local.

"Hello miss. You have quite some different clothes on. I never seen them before in my life. Are they for work or did you come from a different country perhaps nya."

Addison looked down at the girl in front of her. Addison's right eye twitched a bit, but other than that, she seemed to return the friendly smile with one of her own. That little twitch was the result of years upon years of training, self control, and discipline. For Addison had suddenly been possessed with the urge to simply pick up this cat girl before her and cuddle her to death. The most adorable thing Addison could have ever dreamed of was standing in front her, now seemingly embarrassed by her meow, and it took all of Addison's will power to restrain herself.

Calming herself, Addison now began to take the situation a little bit more seriously. "How does one go about explaining this? Should I just role with it, pretend I'm from some faraway land....? Yeah... probably should." She thought before answering. Shrugging with a huff, she smiled at the girl.

"How could you guess? It's every day that someone like me strolls into... umm.. town." Addison awkwardly finished. She had just realized she had no idea where she was exactly. "I've traveled from a very far away place. So far, in fact, that I'm utterly exhausted from the journey. I can't even remember where this exactly is. Heh he.... say, you seem to be from around here, what's the name of this beautiful city?"

WE'RE OFF CHUMMERS

Couple things: I figure depending on your leisure, your character can either alreadybe on the Garrloch, or be running as badly late as my dude Samick.

Second thing: I have our first "encounter" of sorts already planned out, but let's get things rollin' a bit before we make that happen

I'm pumped for this guys

@Mercenary Lord

Gonna post soon!
