This was a time when Boom was glad he usually worked without a shirt on, the fire was hot even when across the room and left him sweating. The burly viking found just manual labor to be relaxing despite the temperature of the furnace room. The Dreamgear had powered on wood for a short time, before Boom had joined the crew - but once the captain had gathered her fortune again she'd seen to buying good coal that allowed them to travel farther and faster on a single load then wood had.

The coal was kept in careful storage nearby, a latch undone and door opened so Boom could thrust a shovel into the container and draw forth a pile. It was a short distance from the container to the open furnace and all Boom had to do was toss the pile into the fire. He hadn't heard the door open behind him and was unaware as Brash lingered in the door frame watching him work.

Even Brash had to admit to herself she wasn't ashamed to admire the viking, he was pretty good looking. She had a mighty good view of that rippling back as he tossed coal on the fire and then closed up the furnace and container of coal, hanging the shovel back onto the hook on the wall. "Get cleaned up and head to the galley, Corset should be nearly done with breakfast." She spoke up and Boom looked a bit startled as he turned to face her. He gave the captain his usual crooked grin and reached up to run his hand through his shaggy red hair. "A-aye, aye C-c-captain!" Brash nodded her head and continued on her rounds to collect the crew.

Background

Bruno Nort was part of an old-fashion crew of vikings who had taken the change from sea to air travel easily and were still running cargo ships. He is the only member of the crew of the Dreamgear who has spent his entire life aboard a ship. Bruno came from a line of vikings, each of his fore fathers had been a captain and it seemed that Bruno was well on his way to having his own ship as well.

Bruno started at the bottom on his father's boat, a cabin boy, scrubbing floors and tying ropes and learning what he could about the ship. He was a scrawny kid but all that work on the ships really beefed him up, though being a viking it sort of ran in his blood lines that he'd turn out big and muscled as an adult. From cleaning and tying ropes to hauling gear and working the cannons he found his knack for ammunition. With father's earnings to support it he experimented and developed various new gun powders and explosives.

When he turned twenty he left his father's ship and set out to experience new crews and captains all while earning money off selling his various formulas for powders and explosives. Some years later while at a bar he was approached, a brawl broke out as a man claimed Bruno had sold him bad powder. The owner tossed them out and the man made a demand... a duel. That evening the two faced off with a small crowd of eager onlookers. His opponent counted down as Bruno's finger hovered over the trigger of his pistol. When "three" came, two shots were heard one a split second before the other. Bruno's opponent stood wide eyed before collapsing... Bruno felt nothing and glanced down at his chest - nothing, had the other missed? He was certain his was the second shot... glancing around him spied another soul with a pistol drawn, a dark haired woman.

He was confused and the crowd began to uproar as the woman walked past the fallen loser and pulled back a curtain on an empty building to expose another body. "You had one more in your duel I'm afraid..." She had saved his life, while he easily out shot the other man, the hidden shooter could have easily shot him down. Satisfied, the crowd departed and Brash and Bruno shared a drink where Bruno told her about his past and passion. When he learned the woman had her own ship he offered his services in return for her deed and joined as the fifth member of the Dreamgear and was nick named Boom.
