3. Skyway Robbery - Genesis 18:32

[Interovegas]

Every soul takes to their stations. Finch at the helm, Orkan and Andrea assisting in the ascent and Judy stoking a great flame in her smokematter crucible. Aredfln gives out wind readings for the others to manage their rigging and course. Edmond's shouts his commands at a steadily increasing pace. Quickly his instructions become chants and frenzied intonations. Under the cover of Edmond's black speech and the reinforced barriers of Judy's smokematter enchantments the Espiegel leaps skyward.

When the Espiegel reaches level with the combat ahead Edmond pauses for dramatic effect, poses in a wide stance with his fists at his sides.

Edmond-[Imperial]: "Fuir Guul'ore'eed uned Guul'O'uuld!"

The crew yells back emphatically:

Crew-[Imperial]: "Fuir Guul'ore'eed uned Guul'O'uuld!"

Forwards into battle they sail. The three Confederate sky galleons organize themselves in a wide line east of the Espiegel. One of the scouting vessels takes the far left and the remaining two ascend to the high rear position. From what Finch can tell the Imperial reinforcements have tethered themselves to one war galleon. The Imperial command ship and two accompanying vessels are trying to get a steady rotation on the boarding combat. Thunderous cracks of cannonfire and their accompanying flashes shows the Confederate forces their approach is not unnoticed.

Aredfln queries Finch as the Espiegel is just about to cross cannon range.

Aredfln-[Imperial]: "Direct us according to thy stratagems captain!"
