A group of people, scattered across London, go about their daily lives, unknowing that soon they would all be embarking on an adventure together.

"Whatever. Help me take stock." I lead him into the hold, lighting two oil lamps and giving him one. "Four-hundred kilos of tea, six-hundred of perfume, two-hundred of lightbulbs, two-hundred of wool." I say, handing him a clipboard detailing these items. Turning and proceeding to the rear section of the hold, I leave him there to work.

Erik nods. "Vell, it's qvite nice to know you at last, Gryff. Tvust me, I have plenty of things to do before zey get heer."

Switching on the light, Erik quickly begins to take inventory of the ship's controls and electrical equipment, nodding as he goes.
"Old Bvitish airship. Not very Electric, like Germany, I see. Primarily mechanical... Hm... Zat should be interesting.."

"Vell, i'll see vat I can remember from ze German Naval Academy while you get things set up. I'll find myself a room."
Erik nods, taking several detailed maps of Denmark and North Germany (All roughly 2 meters square each) as well as some other navigational supplies and leaving it on the table in the middle of the room. As Gryff walks off to deal with the other crewmember, Erik goes belowdecks and finds himself a small bunkroom. 1 bed, a table, and a chest. Not much, but enough for him.
He quickly sets up his things, leaving the final desk for a little-known side project of his: A german Cypher Machine.
He's been trying to rebuild it since the day he got it, but so far it's been too damaged to attempt to operate. He doubts there'd be much in the way of Electricity aboard a British airship, anyways. Luckily, the Rotors still seem intact. 33-26-19. Just like the day he got discharged.
He sighs, pausing for a moment and laying out the rest of his tools and scrap wiring equipment on the table, keeping it orderly in his small metal cases until he works with it later. Finally, he takes out his glasses. Small spectacles, one with a filter and the other with zoom lenses. He'd always preferred it manual, anyhow.
Putting back his Glasses, he ajusts his Officer's cap and heads back to the bridge, pouring over the Controls and their operation with the Ship's manual. After all, if he's going to be the Helmsman, Navigator, and Radio Operator, he'd have to learn how to pilot first.

I finish up with my stock-taking, and return to the bridge. I lay out some maps of the Eastern USA and the Middle East, then notice Erik studying the bridge instruments. "Don' worry, I'll be handlin' th' helm."
