As discussed, we're working from Simon Fletcher's InkTober prompts, specifically the first four of the Steampunk list - The Wicked Cyborg, The Airship Captain, The King of England, and The Explorer Girl.

1 - Still in the storage facility. The porthole door from the facility to the outside air is open and Rose and Cornelius are climbing the ladder runs on the outside of the ship (Rose is leading the way, with Cornelius maybe standing in the doorway, the duffel bag of supplies draped over his shoulder).
ROSE: We went over this.
2 - On the airship's bridge. The airship captain is the type of man who would generally be described as "jovial", wearing a stereotypical and unnecessarily fancy captain's uniform (the hat is particularly important), along with a big nose and mustache and matching big belly. However, his joviality is absent for the moment as he grimaces in pain and holds his stomach. His number two looks on in concern, but the captain ambles away towards the bridge's door.
CAPTION (ROSE): Someone on this ship is not who they seem.
NUMBER 2: Are you alright, sir?
CAPTAIN: Stomach's not feeling great.
3 - Rose and Cornelius continue their climb along the airship, having progressed far along the side and up towards the top. They have taken out some rope from the duffle bag and are tying it to the ladder rungs.
CAPTION (ROSE): And there's no way to thoroughly search a vessel of this size.
CORNELIUS: Careful, it's a long way down.
4 - The captain walks with purpose down a hallway inside the airship. He peels off his large nose and mustache disguise with one hand to reveal a regular nose but larger mustache beneath. With his other hand, he reaches into what is revealed to be his fake belly to pull out a gun. He wears a menacing grin.
CAPTION (ROSE): Thankfully, it's not where they are that matters.
CAPTAIN: ...must have been something I ate.
5 - Inside a sumptuously adorned airship compartment. King George V sits on a fancy chair, startled by Rose and Cornelius who are hanging outside his window. Cornelius taps on the window to get George's attention.
CAPTION (ROSE): So much as where they're going to be.
KING GEORGE: !
SFX: taptaptap
ROSE: Permission to come aboard, your majesty?
