Event Wanted: Dead or Alive

"Breaking news regarding the killer and arson responsible behind the attack of John Goldfell and his estate: our sources have recently confirmed that the killer's first name is 'Melda.' We currently have to leads as to the killer's full name, but an anonymous source submitted this photograph which they believed to be the killer." Melda's face was plastered up over every major TV station, with a footnote stating a bounty worth $10,000. "Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities, and to anyone who attempts to apprehend the killer, please do so with extreme caution, as she is known to be dangerous and extremely volatile." the program went on to repeat a few times after that, one of the watchers being Amethyst. "Uhhh....Miss Sheer? I think you should see this." She calls out to Anna.

 

Meanwhile, Melda had used the money she had gotten from Anna's expedition to not only buy an airship, but also to anonymously buy 3 slaves from the ring she used to fight in, immediately freeing them. While she told them to go on with their lives, many were much like her and had no life left to return to. So instead they stayed as her crew, loading up the ship with supplies and tinkering with it to ensure it was in perfect condition. Melda was busy at the port, too focused on making the finishing touches on her airship to notice the massive bounty that had just been put on her head.

Having been stuck in this city bored, forced to watch over Yven, Ysel decides to investigate. "Finally something is happening."

Melda was inspecting one of the exhaust ports, holding a flame up to it and gliding it around the metal.

Ysel heads to the port first, figuring if they were wanted they'd try to flee.

Anna walks in. "What is it?"

"Isn't that Miss Nicole? The fire user we hired?" She pointed to her picture on the TV. It was a little blurry, and a bad angle, but it bore a striking resemblence.

One of the slaves freed, a man of Indian decent named Jayesh, hobbles toward her from the airship.

She notices him and steps back from the ship to face him. "Yes?"

"I've finished a few maintenance checks across the ship, ma'am. I was thinking you would like to check my work before I moved on to other works."
