We've got a ship.
It'll be passing by below us soon; seems it just departed from the city recently, and fortunately for us, it seems we have gone unnoticed for now.
We're still a bit too close to the city to do anything, so for now we'll keep a good distance from it--we'll remain above to improve our likelihood of being unnoticed. I want one boatswain--or anyone who has a good knowledge of airships to go up to the crows nest with a telescope and see what more they can tell us of the particular airship our target has. Any information you can give us would be good--and take a stopwatch with you too, to see how long it takes it to get from where it is now, to below us, so we can get a fair estimation of its speed.
Alfred, Hiyori, Pip and Kambei--stand by your guns, but no shooting until you get orders from me, Hiruma, or Hijikata, or the Captain. I'm sure you know, but just in case we just want to bring it down with as little damage as possible--the more damage, the bigger the likelihood of goods being destroyed which would be a waste of our efforts.
Reno, Noriaki, and Jotaro, Kensei--like the gunners, get your planes ready, but don't take off until you get orders. I would suggest, if you have space, taking one other person with you to handle some weaponry. When you do take off, remember to stay above the battlefield; we don't want you caught in the fray of cannons.
We have one passenger one board, sorry that I do not know your name, but you ought to stay below deck. If someone could volunteer to keep her safe, I'd appreciate it. Everyone should have a job--whether it is the one you signed up for--or simply helping someone else to do their's.
Now let's do what we do best.

((ooc: OKAY GUYS. I managed to nab Ann, and so the way this is going down is more or less the same way it went during the first raid. For those of you who were here the first time you'll know what I mean, and so if you can help the newer folk I'd really appreciate it.
For those of you who weren't around before, the actual tracking and airfight shall happen over journals. Sounds a little weird, but it worked well before. I tried to assign as many jobs as possible, but as Winry said, everyone is free--and encouraged to help in any way they can. Post about your discoveries, post about your actions, and most of all talk to one another. Since this is a team effort, that's what is most important :>
The ship will most likely go down somewhere late Sunday/Monday and there will be a log for the actual boarding and pillaging. If you are still confused, just wait a bit to see examples, or IM me at RingCampana. I'll also be in the chat. Or you can just drop me an ooc note here, too xD ))
