She fidgets at Vali's attention, but helps out however possible.

"Vali has command if I cannot," she tells it as well, then gives Gerd an eyebrow: Satisfied?

Dagmar helps, taking a line as directed.

"Thanks. " Gerd says "It's just you were fading in ,fading ouit, even now there's room for doubt. And now the ships under the way ,so I hope you'll see... why I think it's time for loving Mutiny"

And Brekke realies too late she's vanishing!

And gone

"Ge--?"

Gerd crosses her arms "I put her in front of the balefire. "

Vali looks at her mouth open.. as the Kestrrel flies swiftly on

Grumble. "And how much glamour do YOU have left?"

Symon snorts, but doesn't have much to say.

Piper idles near the edge of the ship. Not sure what's keeping it afloat - and ready to chuck the iron relics off if they seem to be interfering with staying aloft.

Gerd blushes "I'm .. low on dross"

Sylvi goes to Piper. "You okay? Did the Mata Hari thing work?"

She swallows, and still looks a little dazed. "It worked too well. I kinda feel... like I need a shower. Or maybe that's just from this stuff. It had the chief's blood on it, I didn't think we should leave it there..." Piper is shirtless but has on a bra (a rather cute one), and her disguise shirt is wrapped around a bundle that has a few reddish stains showing. The vague unease of iron may drift from the bundle she gingerly holds.

It does seem to slow the ship down, but the kestrel keeps trucking

"You set em up good" Dirk says jaw set and he nods

"I know why they have a shotgun guard now." She murmurs.

"I know the place to take the iron."

"Chief showed me, before. I can take it there..."

"Not alone" Vali says "I'll drive you, back each other up. I think I'm better off than most when it comes to glamour right now"

Sylvi gives the iron bundle a squeamish look. "Maybe when we get back we should put it somewhere away from the Lodge until we can get it handled?"

"I'll stick it in my freezer, if nothing else. Not like I have any food in there."

The ship struggles but seems drawn to serve

"So - we can burn the bloody clothes after the weapons are dropped off."

"But we should do it soon, I think. They give me the creeps."

Vali nods "Yep. I'm siding with Dame Dagmar on this one. Two knights pulling rank. Those things go SOON"

"Oh yeah? WHat if I pull PEACEKEEEPER rank?" Dirk asks

"Then I'm very impressed " Vali says "And still go with Dagmar on this"

"You think I'll argue with you? I don't WANT them!"

"Dirk, you okay? Symon? Eden? Dagmar?" Sylvi's checking with everybody.

Dirk nods "Yep. I'm good. Glad i came" True

Well he's got some wounds

but he IS glad he came

"Yeah. Some bruises, nothing that won't heal up on its own. Thank Heimdall for the invention of plate."

Symon is watching the scenery go by from a safe spot in the middle of the boat. "Did we leave any guards alive?" And he is counting up his notes. "Gotta make sure they don't slip out or through the system. "

"Most were alive, I think. Shackled to the machines."

Eden stares at the ssky "They're alive..." her own glamour lwoer than it should be

Zane headwhips "Eden? What did you do?"

Sylvi stares. "Eden?"

"An Aiiiieee for an Aiiiiee... a Truth for a truth." Eden shrugs

ANd there is Rivervale below at last

"Eden...is your animal form...venomous?" Sylvi asks hesitantly.

Symon gives her a long look, and then a nod. "Good enough by me."

"Only in a kipling kind of way" Eden says

"We all fought and did what was needed. And nothing is on anyone's head that isn't on all of ours." He whispers. "At least, as far as I'm concerned. And that might not go too far, but..." He shrugs.

"Yeah, ain't nobody gonna mourn them."

"That stupid bitch" Dirk mutters

yet.. it is not scorn in his voice

"The Balor?" Sylvi asks Dirk.

"No, the Chief.. .she almost did something she'd never forgive herself for..." He snaps a bit "She would have been right to do it, but she'd whip herself and shit she... "A pause "She's too good to be a monster. She has to be better, and she knows that. So... I did it for her before she could ask... THe Chief is good. Now she stays good. AND the real monster is dead. That's what i am. Dirk Lee. I'm the monster that other monsters fear. SHe's the chief... she's the one that keeps me from hurting the innocents and gives me a chance to.. well.. do right. SO...." Dirk says "Yeah.. if anyone sees the Chief start to sulk about me... stop her from being stupid, you hear?"
