Dude, Where's My Airship? [open]
Characters: The crew of the Convoy
Content: ...the Convoy is gone, apparently stolen by Optimus Prime himself!
Setting: Kropmork's docks
Time: Early morning, a few minutes after the smoke bombs fill the ship with noxious fumes
Warnings: What you bring with you
It was not a good evening for the Convoy crew.
They'd been woken up early in the morning and driven off their ship by bombs, left most of their possessions behind, and forced to stand awkwardly out in the October cold. Who knew when they could go back on board? For all they knew, the ship was rigged with actual explosives, instead of just smoke-bombs. Was the ship really going to have to be repaired again?
But wait! Here came the missing Captain. That was one mystery solved. He'd know what to do, wouldn't he?
....why did he have his laser rifle out?
The robot didn't speak or respond to anyone who spoke to him. He simply strode right through the crowd at the dock, pushing aside anyone in his way, and boarded the still-smoking ship. He stopped just inside and turned around to look at the dock. Smoke billowed out behind him (thicker smoke than you usually got from a fire or an explosion) as he fired several rifle blasts at the gangplank, effectively destroying it and preventing anyone on the dock from following him onto the ship.
About a minute later, the airship pulled away from the dock and rose into the cold October sunrise, leaving its crew behind without explanation.
It was out of sight in minutes.
