Sid coiled his weapon with a chuckle as his new ally came up and complimented him. [color=999999]“Thanks. You're not so bad yourself, private.”[/color] He replied with a thumbs up. [color=999999]“Glad to see you're not one of those knights afraid to get their armor scratched.”[/color] Though he jested with the soldier’s rank, he genuinely applauded Cayde for willingly putting himself in harm's way. It was a rare trait to see in people now a days.

With no other enemies coming for them, Sid too noticed the plumes of smoke slowly filling the room. He had assumed his fiery friend’s magic had been the source, but with none of those flames lingering and the dark clouds building it was all too obvious what was going on. Cayde was the first to assess the situation and inquired if Sid would be able to repair the unstable engine or see if someone above deck could. The soldier probably didn’t think their chances of evacuation looked good and the pirate had to agree.

[color=999999]“Sorry, mate.”[/color] Sid shook his head. [color=999999]“A leaking pipe or a broken belt I can do, but this? We need someone more experienced and fast.”[/color] As he heard his own words out loud, an idea popped in his head. [color=999999]“Actually, I think I can buy us some time.”[/color] Unfurling his kusarigama once more, Sid stepped in front of the smoking machine while twirling his chain to build up speed. Once it was going fast enough, he turned the swirling weapon towards the engine and unleashed a stream of wind onto the engine. With any luck his makeshift fan would be enough to snuff out the flames and regulate the temperature without cooling it too drastically. If not it would at least keep the heat from rising faster than it had been. 

[color=999999]“I think I’ve got this.”[/color] He called to the soldier. [color=999999]“Now get up there and see who you can find!”[/color]
