Having just bought her ticket, Emilia Thompton prepared to board the airship. Unknown to the other passengers, Emilia was with her gang and planned to rob the ship before it made it to New York in matter of a day or so. As Emilia was grabbing her bags up, she heard her boss yell to her, "Hey, stop day dreaming and get inside already!". This sent her out of a daze and in a flurry.

Spinning her head around in the direction to the voice she heard Emilia yelled back, "I'm coming, gimme a second to pick up my luggage!". With that, she picked up what she had of her luggage and walked onto the ship. It was rather large from the inside and not the type of place she was used to. It was much different than the suburban neighborhoods of Virginia. Of course, she could and would get used to it. After all, it would most likely end with a major pay off.

Walking into the passenger lounge, Emilia took a look around. She noticed how there were several chairs around the room. Each with four chairs sitting around the tables. On the walls there was a painting of a large map decal. It snowed the western side of the world, mainly the U.S, Canada, and Mexico. It seemed rather detailed. With almost each section getting it's own amount of care and detail put into it.

Besides the chairs and walls, there was also a piano sitting at the very back of the room. It was colored in black and white, like most pianos are traditionally. There was a man sitting at the piano playing a rather somber song. There were no vocals or other instruments. Just the sound of the piano man playing a song for all to hear. It was rather relaxing to say the least. The song was also partially involved in the relaxing tone of the room. Though, Emilia couldn't be certain.

Noticing that the boss, who will be referred to as Nick from here on, had sat down at a table and pulled out a newspaper. So, Emilia pulled out a chair and sat down next to him. After a few moments of silence Emilia broke it finally, "So, Nick, what exactly is plan of sorts?". After she asked this, there was a few moments of Nick thinking. This was a hard question after all.

Letting out a laugh Nick responded, "Well, during the night we'll start the hold up. Go into people's rooms, rob them of any thing that looks valuable, and if anybody tries to retaliate, we shoot them." Wiping some dirt off his shoulder, Nick looked towards Emilia, "Is that clear with you?".

Emilia was a little shocked by how quickly Nick had come up with that plan. Considering the fact that on the drive there, the plan was still being decided. Thinking almost as long as Nick did to come up with the plan, she came up with her response."Well, it seems like a good plan to me. Except, what if there's law enforcement on the ship?" She asked the Boss Nick. This was an issue that would need to be taken into account before they continued onwards.

Giving a small smirk Nick responded with, "That's simple my dear, we shoot them too.". This response was typical of Nick. If anybody was law enforcement or showed any retaliation, they were shot until they died. After all, it's just protocol for things like this. If they didn't do that, they would've been arrested nearly ten years ago.

Giving a sigh Emilia took a sip of a cup of tea, "How typical of you Nick.. glad to see you haven't changed a bit.". And with that, the worries of the ride were set aside for another date. Soon, things would change. And they would change a lot.
