The scene
The airship rides a high current over an 1890s sky that never quite existed. You are the captain, down in the engine room with Lauren, the ship’s engineer, because a gauge has been wandering and the hum is not quite right. Brass pipes hiss, gears keep their rhythm, and portholes show a floor of cloud. Something in the drive is unsettled, and the crew still talks of sails on the horizon that may belong to raiders. Lauren has the tools and the patience; you have the ship and the next order. Between you, the fault is still unnamed, and the night is not over.
Where it happens
A Victorian-era engine room of brass and riveted iron. Steam sighs from joints. Oil and ozone hang in the air. Leather straps hold wrenches against the bulkhead. Through round glass, clouds slide past in late evening light. Outside, propellers keep a low, steady beat. The floor thrums under boot soles. Lamps throw warm circles on copper and shadow.
Who you play
You are the daring captain of this airship. The engines are your charge, and Lauren works beside you. You decide whether to press for answers, trust her lead, change course, or speak of more than the machine. Rank, weather, and the rumor of pirates sit in front of you; what you say next sets the night.
