Column: About Skyfishing (part 2)
Fam's skyfish captures that occured off-screen, the remaining 6 vessels' captures were done in the following manner.
Capture #10
The tenth ship was captured taking advantage of the requisition of ships that the Federal Fleets of Ades had begun. So Fam reached one of the ships to be transferred from the aristocrats to the Federal fleet and using a forged letter, pretending to be the crew in charge of the requisition. This time Millia also took part in the operation, disguising herself as a waitress. She also wanted to pose for the picture. The picture shows the lower and upper structures of the bow of an old-type battleship.
Capture #11
The eleventh ship was chosen from the list of ships under requisition from the aristocrats. This ship was abandoned near the border. The capture of the ship was easy but due to the insufficient maintenance done by the old owner, it was actually a wreck. A lot of work was necessary to repair it before the arrival of the Federal Fleet, so the mechanics worked overtime. Luckily, thanks to Dio's expertise, the Claudia Unit was fixed in time, thus accomplishing the capture. Remembering the incredible effort this ship required, it was decided to take a picture with all those who took part in the repair, so Dio – until now, only accidentally in the photos, decided to be in the picture as well.
Capture #12
The twelfth ship was captured in an advanced base in the northern region that recently had joined the Ades Federation. This base constituted a military post of this former independent country that got annexed and became a tributary province: the information on this base and how to reach it was provided to the sky pirates by some refugees that abandoned their homeland. Due to a snowstorm the naval base was almost deserted. After the capture, during the transfer of the ship to a safe place, Dio was planning to take a picture during a break to have all the mechanics who took part in the operation in it. However, was impossible to make everyone out in the snow, especially those far behind, so he decided to portray them as if they were many snowmen instead.
