Tempest smiles, shaking his head. 'Learn a thing or two'? right. It was worth a shot for all the problems he had been aving in the first place.
Tempest: "All right. I think for the most part we have things handled. I'm just waiting for word that Sylvia has found a ship that is a suitable candidate for the transformation of adding the crystals. . . . Can you make an Ionic Core from what is around here? I'm sure there might be some well suited parts in the cache that you spoke of. It would also be no porblem to fund an expedition to where ever it is."
Tempest looked the plans he had laid out over, sifting through them carefully. What he wouldn't give to finish the airship right now.

FrostXero:Hmm naw, pretty much describes you guys.Quick as lightning. I bet the airship is already half built by now.
*Frost smiles in a chuckling manner*

Sylvia: "Not really... We got here about 2 days ago, and.. well, The reason I was around the harbor was to find a ship that we could use. He is very particular to have a hip with two or three masts, and has a large carrying capacity. I think he is crazy. I talked to nearly every captain in the whole town, and none of them want to part with their ship, not even for 5 thousand gold. That.. well, that is a kings fortune in most places, and with that much money, they could buy a whole fleet of ships. But Temepst is also trying to buy the crew with it."
Sylvia shoves the door open after lifting the latch, revealing the lit inside of the Barn. Tempest was at a work table, and yet there were sounds coming from the WEAPON.
Sylvia: "Tempest, Frost is here. I met him at the docks."
Tempest looks to Frost, and waves.
Temepst: "Long time no see. What have you been up too?"

Mael pokes his head out from under the WEAPON, glances out, then returns to repairing the colossal machine.
MAEL: An Ionic Core is easy to assemble..."
Mael reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small object, that looks like it's seen better days. He breaks it open and removes a piece from it that seems to be glowing.
MAEL: "Now all we do is attach this thing to this piece here, and tah dah! An Ionic Core. Now we can install it."
He attaches the make-shift Ionic Core to the WEAPON's motherboard. Mael plays around with various other objects lying around and improvising them into the other needed parts.
Within a few minutes he is reassembling the hull of the WEAPON.
MAEL: "...Hm... almost done. All I need now... is a Blacksmith to repair the armor, a stabilizer, and an armament restricter. We don't wanna strip it's artillery completely. I mean, a WEAPON is an excellent body guard... but we don't want it shootin' everything up either... I've added a voice activated fail-safe also. When a particular command is called out, the WEAPON deactivates and places it's AI into an unprotected hibernation. Although without the restricter, the artillery is still unusable. I'm going to have that voice activated too. I mean... the program is already in, but....the restricter isn't. So if the command to attack or cease fire is given the CPU may crash because it has no file to read."
Mael activates the WEAPON and it stirs to life. The monitor once again pops up out of the head of the mammoth machine.
WEAPON: PROMPT//_____file corrupt/// INITIATING REBOOT///
The monitor goes black.
MAEL: "...uhm.....th' hell?"
Without warning, the monitor kicks back in, and the WEAPON begins to reconfigure.
WEAPON: PROMPT//___new files detected>>>> REGISTERING NEW USERS [tempeststorm.op/maelgainsborough.op]>>>>>>>>_______REGISTRATION COMPLETE/// SYSTEM FAILURES DETECTED///<stabilizers are not present/artillery is inactive>___new files detected>>>PROMPT COMMAND>> [vocalprompt.run]////VOCAL COMMANDS NECESSARY FOR ARTILLERY DISCHARGE///___new files detected>>>>>PROMPT COMMAND [hybern.exe\emergrun.exe]>>>DETECTED FILES ARE MERGED____file copied>>>>[hybern.exe]
Within moments of configuring, the WEAPON is operational. With only minor repairs needed for optimal performance, Mael decides to leave the WEAPON active.
MAEL: "Now... let's go get the parts and a blacksmith."

FrostXero:Yo Temp. It looks like we've been working on something slightly the same..
*Frost watches as the weapon rises and starts to configure it self.*
FrostXero:What? Syl. I thought you said that thing was dead!
*Frost pulls out his marasume and the light green auroa surrounds his right arm.*
FrostXero:okay ugly! Round two!

Sylvia watches the WEAPON get up, and then she faints.
Tempest Watches the WEAPON also, but instead goes between it and Frost.
Tempest: "Frost, put that away. The thing is now harmless. Mael here fixed it. Besides, how do you expect to fight something that wont fight back and is wearing no armor?"
Sylvia gets up a moment later, throws her arms in the air and walks out, shouting something in her native language that no one could possibly understand.

FrostXero: Because now i know how do destroy it.
*As frost puts his weapon back in the seeth and the arura dies down he watches Sylvia walk out.*
FrostXero: Hmm i guess she doesnt have any fond memories of it.

Mael looks over to Frost like he was some sort of half-wit.
MAEL: ".....leave it alone. It ain't doin' anything to do."

FrostXero:Hmm did you re-build this?
*Frost walks around the weapon and sees the patch work Mael has done.*
FrostXero:Hmm i thought tempest and me was the only ones to do something like this.You must tell me how you did this...
*Frost looks to Mael*
FrostXero: Hello I am FrostXero, and you are?

Mael scoffs at Xero.
MAEL: "Like I'd tell you anything. Besides... you should already know how I did it. If you're so smart, why didn't you think of it first?"
Mael's reply is obviously beyond sarcastic.
MAEL: "Anyway, my name is Mael Gainsborough.......what th' hell is that sword?"
Mael points to Xero's ridiculous looking weapon.

Tempest just listened, loading the wagon with the plates that needed to be repaired. He acctually knew of a Smith that would be more than helpful for him. But Mael's attitude towards Frost wasn't what he would guess. In all honesty, he, the technological dragon-kid, had thought of fixing the WEAPON, but didn't want to mess it up more than he had. He had deemed it scrap for the past few months. Now...
Tempest walked over to the Weapon, looking it carefully in the repaired lense.
Tempest: System acknowledge.
W-unit: Voice system acknowledges Templeton Storm.
Tempest smiled, taking a moment to take in that he acctually had control of an Artificialy Intelligent system. He had been programing one efore he left, but here was one, complete, and totaly under control. The greatest fear was that it would turn on them, but he had an idea for keeping it under control.
Tempest turned to face the two technicaly normal people. He folded his wings back and over his shoulders.
Tempest: "Frost, the thing is harmless. And Sylvia is just anoyed that it is up and working. She got a letter a few weeks ago, saying that a Weapon attacked her tribe. She would like to see it still a pile of scrap, but I'm sure once the ship is up and running, she will forget it was ever here."

FrostXero:Because Tempest took the heap after mash punched a hole thew it.
*Frost puts the marasume back in its sheeth.*
FrostXero: This is my weapon the marasumesoul. You can say its form another world.
*Frost watches the machine gets up*
FrostXero: Hmm well well the think jumps at commands now?

Sylvia walked the warft again, her cloak pulled tight and her staff clentched in her hands with a white-knuckle grip. Now that he had that stupid WEAPON up and working, did he ever need her around anymore? Did she even need to be part of his projects? He had his stupid machines and technology, he didn't need her around anymore. She was just a simple girl who lived in this era, and was years behind him. She knew nothing about technology, and he never asked her for help, and if he did, it was for something stupid like translating.
Fire flared around her, causing people to ump away from her. Closing her eyes tighter, the fire started growing, spinning faster around her.
Sylvia: "I wont be used.... He can die."
She kept walking, the fire guiding her. people moved out of her way as she walked towards the gates of the Harbor. She was going home, to her parents in Maltus. But before she got far from the warft, she spun around, the fire gathering over her head, creating clouds of smoke and starting its own storm. With a magickal gift fueled by emotions and voice, the storm started growing stronger the longer she was angry, and once her voice vocalized her anger, the storm started it's own attack on Arrisin Harbor.
((OOC: "Avril - Forgotten" is what is going on in my head when I wrote this. If you can, listen to it.))

Mael hears the commotion coming from outside the barn.
MAEL: "Hm? What th' hell is that?"
He quickly produces his beam saber, but has not yet ignited it. He peers out of the barn doors.
MAEL: "...hey... you uh.... might wanna check this out, Temp.... your buddy's gone AWOL."

FrostXero:What in the neatherrealm?
*Frost goes out side to see the storm made by sylvia's rage.*
FrostXero: Damn we gotta save the people. The water will wipe them away if we dont do something. Come on Mael I think tempest would be the best one to handle her at this point......
