A crescent shape arose as the scorching rays of the sun started to roam the dunes. They painted everything with a yellow hue, and quickly told all nocturnal life to seek shelter. The dock workers and the sale extractors have been working for nearly an hour now. Cranes moved relentlessly, lifting up salt and occasioanl scrap from the dark depths of the canyon. The dock workers were busy as always, most launches and arrivals were scheduled for the morning hours. They refueled ships, lifted crates and supplies into cargo holds, and did maintenace where needed. 
Levi woke up about an hour earlier, and now he bent on the railing of the catwalk and drank his tea whilst watching the buzzing docks. People went by, some got into a friendly chat about what happened last night, and others seemed to be in a rush to get onto an airship. The whole place looked like a buzzing ant castle, everyone doing their job mindlessly, not even questioning why. He took a long sip from his tea and went back into the cabin to put down the empty mug. He watered his plants and checked a few gauges. After he finished with business insie the ship and waited for the others to arrive. He checked his watch. They had about 15 minutes to get here. He sighed and continued to look at the lively morning of the dockworks.
