It was a quiet walk through the woods after Varren had introduced himself, but Isaac could tell that his companions were having a hard time keeping themselves together; even Varren seemed to be bothered by something as he lead them to the ship. It was a bit comforting to have one of the Rift Hunters join up with them, but he was still a young one and Isaac was sure how much experience he had in situations like these... not that the mechanic had any such experience himself. Still, as the oldest member of the group, Isaac couldn't help but feel somewhat responsible for keeping the others calm, especially Emery who now seemed terrified of Varren as well as the Crucible soldiers. 

Finally they arrived at the airship, the Free Wind. Despite his nerves, Isaac couldn't help but take a moment to admire the vessel. How much power could it put out? How were the consoles wired to the propulsion systems? The ship did seem a bit on the old say, but that was OK; the older stuff was built to last anyway, providing you took care of it. He was pulled out of his reverie, though, by the voice of a surly woman, presumably the captain of the ship. He understood that the presence of the Crucible didn't exactly bring out the best of people and if she was willing to let them escape on her ship she couldn't be all bad, but he still doubted that this was going to be a pleasant ride. However, the biggest shock came when Varren asked the guards to show him the engines...

"Wait, the engines? As in to [i]fix[/i] the engines?" Isaac replied in disbelief. "You mean you guys have been flying around without a mechanic on board, or at least anybody who knows basic repairs? A ship this size needs at least two mechanics on board at all times to keep her in good shape. And... crap! I [i]really[/i] hope you guys have some basic tools on board..." He shook his head. "Anyway, I'll have to work with what we've got." Before he proceeded to the ship, though, he looked back at his fellow villagers. "You guys hang in there, alright? And no matter what happens, let's stick together. Once I get this ship off the ground, we can figure out what to do from there." Then he proceeded to walk aboard the Free Wind and waited for the guards to escort him.
