Lundyn surfaced as the RIB started to gain full speed. He had only been seconds falling from the ladder, the impact of the bullets on his body armour causing him to loose his grip. He though he had managed to get off a couple of rounds as he was falling but doubted if he had done any damage. A small pink stream ran from a slight wound in his shoulder and apart from feeling like someone had taken to his upper body with a baseball bat, he felt ok. He looked up to Mother Belle and saw that Ann was swinging the ladder his way. He grabbed for it and let himself be wound up. His energy levels were down! His adrenalin was however pumping. As he pulled himself aboard, Ann was swinging herself out on another ladder. “We took a couple of hits from his machine gun. I have deployed a net around the envelope and I can climb over to where the holes are and tape them over. We are not loosing much gas but it is an opportunity to do the repair now.” Lundyn nodded and as he ducked his head into the ship she called out. “Get to the controls and follow that bastard. Now I want to catch him for what he has done to my ship!”
Lundyn grinned to himself despite his pain. A woman on a revenge high he thought.
They caught up with Ramid within half an hour. He was not aware of their approach as they were again in battery mode and now flying directly into the sun.
“How are we going to stop him, we can’t risk being fired on.”
“Just watch this”
Ann worked the ship directly over the RIB. At that moment Ramid saw the dirigible and was reaching for his re loaded weapon. He didn’t see the ballast envelope, burst open and drop thirty ton of salt water onto the RIB. Ramid was knocked flat with the weight of the water and the RIB was instantly filled with water. It was designed to be fully buoyant with a full load of water, even with one of its inflatable pods bursts. No such damage had yet been done. Ramid however was unconscious. As he had been knocked down he lost control of the wheel. The Rib pounded on its way.
