((I think I should make the situation a little clearer, since people seem to have conflicting ideas on where they actually are in the airship. Firstly, Sorren is right in thinking that you are currently below decks, and that the stairs that were on your left as you came in lead up to the deck. To your right as you came in were the benches on which you have been sitting, each one with a table in front of it, and beyond them the back of the ship's hull. Hence Zweischneid, for instance, was mistaken when he talked of looking up to see the fring of fire around the ship. In order to see it you would have to go up to the deck as Sorren is now doing))
