on the steel bulkhead. The Shem mother ship, if that's what the vessel could properly be called, was shaped like a Flava fruit, except that it had an enormous landing bar where the pit should have been, plus thousands of compartments instead of pulp. Jyro had counted forty-three circular corridors so far, all connected by radial passageways B through X. Of course thousands of compartments remained locked, he'd been unable to establish communications with the robots, and he was no closer to getting off the ship than the day he had arrived. But God helps those who help themselves, so the effort would continue.

There was a dragon tattooed down his whole back. Looked so lifelike. I was half expecting it to start moving. My eyes trailed further down to his lower back, where the letters S.I.X were inscribed. So wait six isn't actually a number, but an acronym? He turned slightly, enough for me to get a view of his front, but not for him to see me standing there.

I knocked him on his ass by myself. At the end of our line, one ship drifts too far from the others. My instincts scream. The human at the helm is well and cleanly dressed, like I haven’t seen anyone in Tarrin other than Luna Maris and the lords. This is his ship. “I know him too well,” Xandra says. “He cannot surprise me.” And she leaps headlong into the water. I grit my teeth and follow. This time, instead of trying to drown me, the current offers me a helping hand. I barely have to paddle to the floating snare.

...Lexi POV... I continue to speed closer and closer to the shipyards. Maxing out the top speed ages ago. I weave in and out of traffic, not letting anything get in my way. From the little bit I saw on the screen earlier, it looks like Xavier is trapped in a boat somewhere, that is sinking. Which will make finding him at least slightly easier. But from the way the boat was taking on water, it appears that I don't have much time. I need to get to him.

he said simply. “We all do,” Darius added quietly. “Even if it means sharing a bed that’s way too small for five people?” “Especially then,” Kael said, nuzzling into my neck in a way that made me shiver. I looked around at all of them, these four incredible men who had somehow managed to rearrange themselves around me like I was the center of their universe, and felt my heart swell with so much love it almost hurt. “I love you guys,” I said softly. “All of you. Even when you’re being completely ridiculous.”

, I say as he enters the ship again. “You could’ve fired it immediately we started. You wanted me to see the new spell.” He sat down beside me and turned the ship back into flight mode. “ I have no idea what you’re talking about.” The ship entered the crack in the hole, entering the atmosphere. “Of course you don’t”, I say, jabbing his arm. As the ship soon stops as another ship like it appears in front of ours. “Identify yourself, or we’ll shoot you down.” On cue, other ships appear all around us with bigger cannons. X calmly walks out the ship and floats mid air. The person in the other ship is in shock as he recognises X. “You traitor! Fire on him! Now!”

Mentally rolling my eyes, I nudged Aemun back but he wouldn't budge. "They should be ready by next week. Each ship can hold 150 army men. The ships for you are almost done as well." His voice made me freeze. I looked just in time to see Adrian walking in with Micah. I quickly averted my gaze and focused on the builder in front of me. With a kind smile, I waited for his bowing to stop and for him to lead us away from here. Luzo stood next to me and obscured my view of the two kings. But my nerves kicked in by 100.

After a few minutes of walking the catwalks, his destination came into view. Attached to Docking Bay Alpha-Centauri-12 was a most peculiar ship. The three kilometer long vessel did not wield an armored prow, barely any superstructure to mention. If anything the bow looked more like an Alligator head. The main hull was relatively slender, blending with the larger bow head in the front, and the large engine bay in the back. The hull was flanked by two large flight-pods At the stern there were eight huge engines mounted around the main hull. Each engine had about a quarter of the total length of the ship. Overall the ship looked well armored. He tried, but Goradin could not find many lights ind

And then, on the horizon, a speck appeared, growing larger with each passing moment. As we watched, a magnificent shuttlecraft descended from the sky, its massive form casting a long shadow on the ground. The sleek vessel, designed to seat six with an expansive cargo hold, hovered effortlessly just a foot over the ground. David's eyes sparkled with pride as he declared, "This is Atlantis's own Star fleet, she is one of four, top of the line, and all yours! – my gift to you."

Christine then wrote to the elves to buy a three-masted warship. It didn't take long for the elves to reply that the warship was for sale, but the price would have to be raised by 30%. Christian immediately agreed. Warships in the mainland navy are divided by tonnage into single-masted destroyers, which can carry up to 50 people for coastal defense and smuggling inspections. Double-masted light cruisers, which can carry 100 people, are the main warships of various countries' navies. Triple-masted heavy cruisers, which can carry 150 people, are generally the flagships of small nations' navies. A four-masted battlecruiser can carry 300 people and is equipped with ten large bed guns for long-ra
