Sorry, guvnors'.  I seemed to have left out 10.5 and 10.6 in the Crusaders Tale. I am posting it here to make up for the continuing sequence.

I am now penning at 32,000 words on Devil's Own; Steam punk Adventure with a dabble of Mystic to it. Its not that easy as its first time doing Steam Punk, and the description to matched the genre could really taxed you to the limit. Some examples are given below:

“Wind up, you imbecile.” Lord Tannen cursed at the coal fed contraption, with its mechanical gears. The contraption commonly known to many as a tin man, but in this chamber, he may have a name like a real butler. The tin man had no emotions recorded into its organization box inside its head. It was powered with the coal pieces which were fed through its left shoulder vent. The stove inside it would generate the heat to move the gears and joints of its limbs. As for its thinking process, it was the work of a set of mini gears and intricate pre-set commands inside its organization box which are activated by the pneumatic pressures on the different plates for it to function. One of the commands in this advanced model was the basic instruction to keep it own self working. The tin man could be self sufficient with its own assessment of the required heating element and held the command to stay immobile for certain periods of time.

The bike sped off the perch where it was resting while its wings activated by the lever opened up for the glide motion. The wings slide back in a drawback motion to build up the speed. The spot which the bike took off was the alley behind the shop. He gunned the bike speed and then moved the wings forward to spread open. The bike wings leveled the contraption up as it sailed on the high winds with the rider adjusting its ascent. The bike sailed past the building roofs and then pushed by the rider, it would soar into the skies before it choose a more lateral descent route.

When the bike reached a certain height, the pull of gravity pulled at it. The rider will then release a lever on the rear of the bike to push out the balloons. A set of balloons filled up from the helium canister will leveled the bike’s descent before it stabilized at that height to remain on a horizontal flight path.

The distance between the front and the rear balloons was fifty feet apart, but only the front ones had a crow nest on each. The balloons are controlled by maneuvering valves located in the hull, which were operated from the main gas pipes in the helm. The gas are measured their contents and managed to compensate for ship performance.

The ship was built with triangular duralumin girders forming a series of main rings, connecting by a series of longitudinal girders, with a square keel at the bottom of the hull, an axial corridor through the center of the ship, and a cruciform tail for strength and resilience. The material of the balloon skin was made from combined layers of glue onto two sheets of cotton to create the combined fabric. The engines are sixteen cylinder engines with an output of two thousand RPM each. The engines used compressed air to start, stopped, and reversed in flight. The engine drove the three bladed, twenty feet diameter metal propeller.  The engines were angle slightly away from the hull so that their propeller wash would not hit the hull.

There was an observation deck on the external side of the balloons. Each of the observation deck had a mounted machine gun on it. The four balloons pulled up the galleon shaped wooden hull with its triple level, and its sixteen twelve pounder cannons. On the upper deck was six mounted twin machine guns placed strategically. It held a crew of over hundred sailors.
