Thread for happenings aboard Xiphon III's Airship. His personal description(sales pitch) of it: The Sky Ship Aura is a unique bit of construction, courtesy of yours truly, able to keep afloat on two of her engines at the least, although she loses most of her maneuverability that the six rotor design gives her. She has a carrying capacity of up to twelve Flight-ready Ornithopters in her hold, with a hatch to allow mid flight launch and retrieval through a hook-crane. She can hold plenty more if you don't mind stacking them up a bit. She's a full hundred and twelve meters of length, with a forty meter width at midships, with the appearance of a classic sailing ship. Coming to a forward point, she has a wider bow to facilitate a forward motion focused flight pattern. Not necessarily built for combat, she does have some capabilities. A small, four gun battery on each side of the ship in the upper decks, as well as a carry-hook on each ornithopter that could be used for bombings or the like, in a pinch. But the pride and joy of the ship is the full lounge in the bow, allowing for the comfort of guests, especially the pretty ones.

((Idunno, should we? I guess I wouldn't mind.)) Xiphon III: *smiles and flies up* "You'll see, miss Din! ((Yes. It's out of the main square and not open to everyone. You may want to have it for later use as well, in case others take a tour of the air ship or events happen there.)) Din: Okay! *follows* *Lands softly n the main deck* Xiphon III: Welcome aboard, to the proud Sky Ship AuraDin: *lands and gets off of the wind board, which vanishes* Ooh! It's so pretty! And Aura is a wonderful name.

*Takes a small bow* Xiphon III: Much obliged, I'm proud of her. But this is just the beginning. There is so much more to her than just the admittedly impressive deck. Tell me, would you rather see the meat and bones first, or the more luxurious stuff?

((Gah, sorry. I passed out and forgot about it))
*Smiling, eager to show off his hard work* Xiphon III: Well then, how about we head to the belly of the beast. You a fan of engineering and navigation? *Opens the door to the ship's bridge, motioning for her to go first*

Lot's of levers and such, they all do things. Too many to explain right now. Wonderful view though! Whattaya think?

Could you tell we what a few of the levers do, or are you anxious to continue the rest of the tour? We can always come back here, right?

*Xiphon nods and points to a few* Xiphon III: We can indeed. But for now...that there bank of levers controls the forward/back axis of the rotors, allowing me to maneuver somewhat.

Xiphon III: Understandable then. No worries, you're always welcome aboard. My ship is free range for friends. We are friends, yes?

*looks away sheepishly* Xiphon III: I don't know...I suppose? Unless you don't want to be friends.
