I've been rather busy with other things as of late, and probably will be for a little longer. I'm in the process of working on plans for a wedding coming up in August, but when I've had a few minutes to come back to the airship, I've simply been patching a few holes that needed to be fixed up. All the while, I've been watching the structure at the back of Deck 4 take shape each time that I've come to visit. Until today, I haven't been able to see what's inside the structure. It seems a passage has opened up on two sides of what appears to be a well built and well concieved council room. I took a few pictures to show you what it looks like.
Centered around a large table is an intricately made gear shaft to support the ceiling. I'm not really sure what it's used for, if for anything more than a decorative purpose, but it's impressive to look at. Above the central gear shaft support is a wonderous starscape ceiling. The table is surrounded by twenty-four identical chairs which are also attached to a gear that is set into the floor. I've tried to turn the chairs but they do not budge or turn. There is also another chair on a raised platform at the back of the room, which sits in front of what appears to be a control console, but I cannot be for certain. The monitor panel is missing the entire screen display, and there are no buttons on the console below it. As far as I can tell, this room is still not complete. It seems to me that there may be someone, or something else writing my airship age. I expect there will be other odd occurances to come.

The other thing that I'm also unsure of is, why the hell do you need a council room on an airship? In my original plans, the council room sits right where I would have put in the infirmiry. Guess I'll need to figure out another place to put the medical facilities.
Well, the next thing that I plan to start putting together is the mess hall and kitchen at the front of deck 4.
