Background

In a desert civilization not far from an oasis lived Graham, a young boy who was taught the ways of the cruel dunes. He never got along with much of anybody, a dangerous lifestyle choice but one he chose to make. When he was just barely an adult he left his comfortable life in the oasis to survive in the scorching desert not far from there. He made his living scavenging off the land and putting his brain to work to make utilities from the artifacts and scrap he found in ruins and other such places.

So begins...

Airships were tricky things. Boilers needed constant maintenance to run, controls needed oiling, balloons constantly had to be patched and filled. Even if the ship held up, weather could drive it into the ground or force it to drift off-course. Animals could be a pain, especially if they got stuck in the stacks or roosted in something important. Those floating vessels were finicky, dangerous, and slow. Why anyone used them, nobody could say.

The tiny kobold working on her engine could tell you why. She probably wouldn't be able to stop. They were amazing contraptions, glorious behemoths of brass and wood sailing through the sky like dragons. Their breath was fire hotter than any drake, steam and smoke spewing from engraved piping in majestic plumes. They were the future, and soon everyone would be born aloft by their own amazing flying machines.

That was the dream, anyway. The reality was a little different. Smuxo was tiny and a kobold. Quality materials, workmanship, and general safety were not something that was readily available to her. That was why she was hanging off of the side of her beached airship, hammer in hand. Something had blown on the left side of the airship (She didn't know what port and starboard were) and grounded her vessel. Said vessel was little more than a wooden dinghy with a boiler made from stolen copper cookware and a balloon stitched together from cloth scraps and the odd pair of pants. It would have been hard work, even for a human, and the little kobold had to hang by her toes to get where she need to be. She was too short to reach it from the ground, you see.

Not far from the grounded airship was a man dressed in mostly cloth to help insulate the heat of the desert. Adorned on his head was a face obscuring mask with goggles to help protect him from the stinging wind. His name was Graham David and he was here to scavenge whatever precious materials the ruins and the dunes had to offer. While walking among the sandy hills with his shock rifle resting on the back of his neck he saw what looked like an abandoned airship, unknown to him that a kobold would be right where he wanted to be.

There was a bang, a fizzing sound, and a squawk. Something small and sooty flapped madly from the ship and into the sky, leaving the kobold swaying by her tail as she hung from a bit of railing. Birds. She hated birds. Sure, they were pretty to look at and they tasted alright if you slapped them against the boiler for a few hours, but damn if they didn't get into everything. This one had messed all over one of the emergency release valves and nearly blown her to hell and back. It wouldn't be an easy fix, but nothing ever was for Smuxo. Scraping bird droppings and tacking copper together was just part and parcel for an airship pilot. She would earn her goggles, real ones with brass and leather. Hers were made from a pair of bottle bottoms and a discarded belt. They fit and kept most of the smoke out, even if they did smell like old sugar and had a little crack or two here and there. Still! This was nothing to a pilot! Nothing!


It wasn't nothing. Whatever that bird had been eating has slagged half of the piping and smelled heinous. Smuxo had literally lived in a cave with twenty-four siblings and she had never, ever smelled anything quite like what she was currently scraping off of a sight-glass aperture. She was now hot, smelly, sooty, and against all biological probability, sweaty. She had been hanging by her tail for so long it was probably numb by n- Oh. There it went.

Pumph. A pair of white, scaly legs poked out of the sand where the kobold had fallen. There was some flailing, some kicking, and a hefty dose of waggling. Pulling herself out of the sand, she looked around at her tools, now scattered by the sand. Ah, well. Wasn't so bad. At least it wasn't r-.

Pssssssh. Dirty water slopped onto the kobold from an above pipe. Such was the pilots life.

The blistering heat came down on the sandy dunes. There was an oasis nearby, its cool water would be very tempting in this heat and the shade of a tall palm offered relief. Some very small horses, up to your shin in height came by to drink and to eat some of the berries growing on the nearby bushes.

A vehicle, looking like an older standard automobile, appears out of a warp.

A man steps out, shielding his eyes against the sun, pulls out a briefcase and a Vacuum, then closes the door to his car. He locks the door with a key, then pockets it. The man seems rather out of place as he looks around, noticing Graham. He waves frantically, dropping his briefcase, then picks it up quickly. He jogs over to him, still holding the Vacuum, slowing down to a walk as he gets within about five yards of the desert-dweller. "Howdy! Do you mind telling me where I've ended up?" He looks slightly confused as he says this, peering around, his hand still shielding his eyes from the sun, but quickly focuses and looks directly at Graham. "I have a once-in-a-lifetime offer for you, and I know you'll be interested!"
