Ok just to yet you all know that this is a crimson skies based steamtech rp about an elite battle unit, namely the Blimp Busters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Midnight woke.

His head pounded and he felt like he was totally shattered. He looked around the room which turned out to be a damp cell complete with rats, there was also a man sat looking at him.

"You're awake at last then?"

"Huh?"

"Lemme guess, you've got a hangover and can't remember anything at all about last night's bar brawl?"

Hazey pictures formed in Midnight's head of being totally drunk in the middle of a fight whacking some luckless sod with a rifle butt. The man carried on none the less, "Yes that was a great idea wasn't it? A bar brawl in a garrison town in a bar right next door to the damn barracks! And so we've been 'enlisted' into some elite battle unit."

"Ah..........I see, which one?"

"Blimp Busters I think."

Meanwhile two officers were entering the cell block to inspect the latest 'recuits'.

"Yes Vimes, we've had a number of recuits from last night's bar brawl over at Joe's traven, a few of them have basic training."

"Major, you know as well as I know that training will do them nothing against the Death Korps of Ruskkia."

"Captain, there is a war on after all and who cares?"

"Major Fairlane sir, you know why the Ruskkie Death Korps are so-called."

"I see your point but orders are orders."

"Yeah but I ain't happy about sending a whole unit of men to their deaths."

"They are convicts after all and you have your orders Captain."
