Infiltrating The Airship

Last you remember, you were being kidnapped or something? Taken away from your home, by what seemed to be a military force. You were unable to do anything to escape.

You awaken, still a bit groggy. You’re awake, but your eyes still shut. That is, until you’re suddenly thrusted to the side. Your eyes burst open as you suddenly sit up a little tighter and realize your situation. You become aware of the noises around you. The whirring of helicopter blades, and the whooshing sky passing around you. The floor beneath your feet feels hard and cold, the place you sit is a hard metal as well, combined with the tall, clean wooden crate just next to you.

Just as you were about to question where you are, you notice an old man standing in front of you. He’s wearing some form of military captain’s cap with a “G” on the front engraved on a gold metal. He also wears dark green shoes, and a high ranking military-style uniform. His facial hair consists of a grey long mustache, with a spiky grey beard. For a military captain, he looks pretty relaxed, with his arms folded in front of him. His voice sounds deep, and strong.

Captain Galeforce: Well well... Look who finally decided to wake up. You've been quite elusive, but your skills make you worth the catch. You'll be perfect for the job."

The Captain pulls down a projector and projects a picture onto the opposite wall from you. It displays a group of guys all wearing top hats of all sorts of shapes and colors. despite their hats looking silly, and not looking very imposing, the deadly weaponry they hold in their hands suggests that they’re no laughing matter underneath it all.

Captain Galeforce: “We’ve had some issues with a group of thieves known as the Toppat Clan. International crime syndicate with members across the globe. We know they’re guilty, just can’t pin them to any crimes. You’ll be going into their Airship to bring ‘em down.”

The Captain then turns off his projector, and brings out a notebook. He flips to an early page and shows you the contents while flipping through a few more pages. All of it is incriminating evidence gathered in this one notebook, some stuff is written down, some stuff is physically taped inside.

Captain Galeforce: “I don’t need to remind you that we’ve got you on several charges. Attempted robbery of a bank… breakin’ yourself out of prison… heh, and even stealing the Tunisian Diamond. We’ve got quite a lot of counts on ya. Do this job right, and we’ll drop all charges against you.”

The Captain puts away the notebook of criminal evidence before continuing his speech. Scratching his beard a bit before going back to having his arms folded.

Captain Galeforce: “Charlie here will be bringing you close to the airship…”

The Captain politely points towards the cockpit when mentioning the name. Where you can see a young man piloting the helicopter where you currently reside. The young pilot wears a big red headset, red shoes, and a brown bomber jacket, which has the nametag “Charles” on it. As Charles is flying, he seems quite focused, collected, and serious at first. Until he suddenly looks back at you, shoots you a cool expression, and a casual thumbs up, before going back to focusing on piloting the flight.

Captain Galeforce: “… Charlie, can assist, if you want his help, that is. He can see everything going on inside the airship. But besides him, the rest is up to you alone.”

With that, The Captain reaches for a handle on the wall, and pulls it with one hand. Opening the door to the helicopter. As you look out, you see that you’re a hundred miles up in the air. But also, theres a big, red metal airship. The airship is a colossal, bright red airplane-like vehicle with four propellers, and a vertical propeller at the tail-fin Of The Airship, likely used for yaw. The ship has a lot of windows, vents, doors, and rooms, and a giant cockpit window at the front. In the middle-area of its fuselage, there is some kind of symbol or insignia of the Toppat Clan painted on. the symbol is a black top hat with “Toppat” written over it in fancy red lettering.

Captain Galeforce: “Find a way to bring ‘em down, and you’ll be a free man.”

The captain steps back, allowing you to take all the action. The wind starts to blow in your face a bit as you look out towards your new target. Before you can do anything, though, Charles speaks up from the cockpit. His voice is quite a casual and friendly tone, not one you’d expect from a military pilot.

Charles: “I gave you an earpiece, that lets us communicate while you’re on the ship! Cool huh? Anyways, So, uhhh… how do you want me to bring you in?”
