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

I return and take four mugs from a cupboard. I pour the hot water into each mug, steam flowing up and dispersing throughout the air. In each mug I place a single tea packet, which hangs from the side of the mug by a string. The water slowly soaks into each dried shard of tea leaf within the packet, gradually darkening said water and filling it with its flavour. I set down an aromatic cup of tea in front of each crew member and then have a seat. I blow on my tea, my breath making ripples on its surface and upsetting steam.

christian grabs a metallic spoon, that reflects the light from a bulb over head, he dips it into the now darkening liquid of the scrumptious tea, and makes stiring motions, causing the tea to dilute even more with each passing spin by the spoon, steam rises from the ceramic mug, and the tea laps at the sides of the mug "thanks for the tea.."

"Ah, just in time for tea". Gunveer exclaimed entering the modest mess. He pulls himself a chair up to the table and asks: "May I have some tea sir?"

I nod, picking up one of the remaining mugs on the counter and setting it down before him, its contents steaming as the hot water becomes darkened and flavoured by the tea leaves.

"Thank you, Captain". Gunveer said as he grabbed the simple white mug with its insides stained from extensive use. The tea leaves had found their way out of the bag and had started twirling around each other in a floating dance. His cold hands are being warmed by the heat of the mug. Gunveer takes a sip of the tea, the floral notes countering the bold bitter taste of caffeine. The now smiling man says; "Very good tea, Sir."

"It's the kind we're carrying," I explain, moving to the window again. "I bought a few extra boxes fo- All hands t' stations! Gunveer, drop the pressure on th' port prop, and put more on th' starboard. Stand by to drop 600kg ballast. There's a storm moving in ahead of us, we don't have enough fuel for any delays." I give Erik his tea and rush out with Gunveer, leaving the cabin boy and the technician in the mess hall.

"Aye"! Gunveer yelled in response, dropping his tea on the table, the tea flying up into the air then onto the table. He rushes to the engine room quickly. The man changes the pressure on the props as directed and readies the ballast for drop.

The airship begins to turn, banking around to face the North Sea. I breathe a sigh of relief as we turn without hindrance. "Belay ballast drop, we're clear." I say into the engine room intercom, then switch to the shipwide PA. "Heading back to London, landing in twenty minutes." I turn and look over a map that sits on the navigation table.

"Yes, sir." Gunveer relaxes his muscles and calms down. He figures that he better chech out his accomodations.

The airship appears to have two different rooms for quarters. A captain's quarter, small and cramped, and a general quarter, which is slightly larger but dominated by six hammocks stung across the middle of the room to make two 'aisles' of walking space.
