"Sir, if you find it, well, it's over 5000 years old!"

"I know, but measures were taken to secure the molecular structure long ago."

"What kind of measures can prevent such a thing from rusting into nothingness?"

"Magic, of course. Very scientific magic."

T'was a massive cave, as it had to be. He'd used the last of his power of Envisionment to disguise the outside, and to leave a feeling of
nausea for any foolish enough to venture in.

Thus the pile of fossilized vomit at the entrance.

The science team could learn a lot from that, but first things first. He drew his sword, and moving thus and thrusting so, an entrance became visible.

"Lights! bring up the lights!"

After adding to the deposit, the young militia men made their way down the now slippery slope.

Sighing, he powered up one light just inside the now visible entrance, grabbed the other two, and went forward into the gloam.

A flash of white appeared from what he had assumed to be the water. A familiar, yet alien presence. seemed to fog his brain. Then fear broke into surprise and joy.

"Melisande?"

"YES!"

"No need to shout! Praise Loki, you are alive!"

"Praise yourself?"

"No, the other guy", he said, looking up. "Do You have it?"

"Yes, we do. We knew you'd want it."

"You knew I'd be back?"

"You're always back."

He felt a shout in symbols he couldn't quite follow, and lights came up in the cavern.

There at anchor floated the Kaiser Mors V. Crewed by dragons. Of course!

He felt giddy, and fell to his knees. And then his face.

He awoke to sunlight with a fresh sea breeze. Melisande was in the captains chair. Metaphorically. It's hard for a
3.25 meter dragon to sit in anything meant for humans, but she was curled around it, and obviously in command.

Dragons were running hither and tither in an organized chaos.

His human aides sat against a bulkhead, nervously glancing from one to the other.

You'd think they'd never seen a battleship crewed by dragons before.

One of his human aides finally got enough composure to speak,
"Milord, if this is the very same Kaiser Mors V spoken of by our grandsires of old, how comes it to be
in the world today? Why isn't it a puddle of rust on the bottom of the sea?"

"Good Gwaine, you know little of the science of the ancients. This ship was totally rebuilt ages ago by the sages of DSSI!"

Gwaine nodded, blankly.

"And, you have heard the stories of dragons and their so-called love of treasure?"

Again the nod.

"They guard that which they love. There is some secret they posses for the preservation of metals."

Melisande gave him a quick glance. In his head he heard, "That's enough. he won't understand more, and we have the rights to our secrets."

He thought back, "Of course."

"So, Gwaine, rouse your self and your fellows, and stow our gear where Lu-Shiua," he said, gesturing to a ruby red dragon standing behind" will show you."

Na, at least 2,500 years old as this post dates back from 3410 ASC.
