25th moon [written/action]

[Written


The message appears at midday, short and sweet.]

Would anyone like to ride an airship today?


[Action


Cecil cannot offer a real airship ride, of course. The Malnosso are not nearly that generous. But he's learned quite a few tricks with the Batlle Dome over the last two years, and he's now adding the last details to what he believes will be an adequate simulation. He has enough faith in it to share it with others at least, but the program still needs some final polishing.

Not that he minds. Better to work on that than to remind himself that he might be forty now.]

That's exactly what it means. I'm hoping I'll be able to recreate it too, once this simulation is completely free of problems.

Whoa - really? [ That is TOO cool. ] Man, I'd love to see that one, too.

Someday, perhaps. I've no idea where it could go other than the moons, but it'd still be interesting to pilot again. The controls are completely different.

I'd imagine. I mean - do you need a lot of magic to power it, too?

[paladinlost]

In a way. It's powered by powerful crystals, and while it must undoubtedly take a lot of magical energy we've never had to change them. For all we now they replenish themselves over time.

Is that what's powering this thing, too?

[He shakes his head, though only slightly. He has to keep his eyes on their path, after all.]

The Enterprise has five engines, along with whatever power it can get from the wind. We've not yet learned how to use crystals in machinery.
