01. AIRSHIPS!! [Text]

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

Whoa!

Yes, it's here. I brought it to the housing area so it wasn't stuck in the Center.

You

need a hand getting that thing fixed?

Thanks for the offer, but no.

It just needs to recharge. ...have you noticed anything odd about Dahak since you got it back? To be specific, things not working as they should.

Dang. I wouldn't have minded a look under the hatch of that thing.

Yeah-- its structure and hydraulics are all weak now. Not sure what happened but the fight's been taken right out of it. It runs, but I can't take it up against a monster like this!!

Guess I have to wait for that Magitek armor after all..

The jetpack, communications, and particle shield parts of my armor are all unavailable. My prosthetic arm used to have a lot more strength and could activate as a weapon.

Now it's only as strong as my other arm and the weaponizing doesn't work.

Wait, that arm's fake? And it has WEAPONS??

[I mean, Red can't exactly say 'lucky' to that, but... that IS pretty cool.]

I thought it was just some weird armor piece!

Why would I wear armor on only one arm? And it didn't have weapons, it had a weapon mode.

[Does EVERYONE from this space-exploring lion-piloting world just get all the cool toys and tools to play with?!]

What kind of weapon? Lasers? Missiles? You gotta show me when you get that thing working again!

It charges with energy and I can cut things with my hand. I'm not sure if it can get working again. Magic foreign to this plane seems to just stop.

We'll see.

If you don't mind answering, what are airships like in your home universe?

Augh, fine... at least you've still got it working as a boring old NORMAL hand, though.

Oh, you should see them!! I lived on a small one, but some really powerful guilds have got airships practically as big as a castle or city on their own. (Those ones were pretty rare, though.)

They're all a bit more advanced than the ones you see here, though. Better engines, usually big wings too.

It's not normal. It's slightly colder than the other one. [His joke is awful but let that one go.]

So, it might be possible with enough study for you to improve an airship from here?

I thought about it! They've got an awfully big price tag, though, and I don't know if I could even GET the parts I'd need around here.

Besides, I can do some mechanical work but that'd be pretty hardcore stuff. I'm good, but I don't know if I'm retrofit-an-entire-airship good.
