Ted had now made his way to the makeshift camp and was sitting next to the scientist, watching the airship getting closer and closer. Endlessly fascinated, he watched what were definitely people falling from the airship. He counted a dozen, he counted two dozen and then he lost count.
"What on earth are they doing?" he asked Mad, fully aware that the scientist did not know more than he did.
"Hopefully, there were some loud loyalists aboard and they have now taken over," Madorn said. "We will see when they get here."
The concern Ted had about the Air Snake was still a valid one. He knew that it could still attack the airship, perhaps to have something fun to play with.
