The issue is that the key seems to be on the Airship...CharlesX probably needs to try to steer it so it doesn't crash unless it is going into the castle :-/ I need to get my new followers to safety!

Nothing good can come from this communist revolution...

Well, *I* wasn't going to say anything.

Should we run for the hills? Is that a safe distance away?

You might be able to make it...then again, it's a BIIIIG airship.

If you had a bolthole to cower in, I'd say do that.

It's locked and TBB has the key for it...

YO, TBB throw us down the key so we can go hide in the pipe!

The modern bourgeois Mushroom society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal Koopa society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new Koopa classes, new Koopa conditions of oppression, new forms of Koopa struggle in place of the old ones.

Our epoch, the epoch of the Koopa bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified Koopa class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile Koopa camps, into two great Koopa classes directly facing each other — Bourgeoisie Bowser and Proletariat Troopa.

Remind me to tell you about a play I've been meaning to write at some point...

So here's the plan, TBB throws down the key to JKLantern, JKLantern opens up the pipe, me and the Kommie Koopas and the Goombas go into the pipe and hide from the atomic bomb...

Wait, I get on the airship just as it starts plummeting to the ground?

Dangit!

Is there anything I can interact with up here Jack?

Everything's kinda plummeting at the moment.

Well, not the cloud car.

But the ship's on a one way ticket to hell.

If this is like Exiles, as soon as we fix whatever is broken then we disappear to the next dimension...meaning no longer our problem

I somehow doubt what's "broken" is in the immediate area, and I doubt we're gonna fix it before the airship crashes.

Someone toss me the key so I can open the pipe!

Jack, could I possibly swoop unto the airship with the cloud, run to the bridge, and regain control of the airship? Is there enough time or would I ba taking on a suicide mission? Thanks!

There aren't any obvious control areas on board. The MagiKoopa was either keeping it in the air via his miiiiiind or using some arcane mushroom kingdom magic that you probably don't have time to learn.
