"Maybe not." Anne grinned, "I'm sure we can find a way up there."

Guest

He smiled. "I"m listening."

"Well, air pressure decreases the higher we go, not to mention temperature and oxygen, so it's just a matter of keeping everything stable." Anne shrugged.

Guest

He nodded. "But what about after we get up their? We'll have limited suplies."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:50 pm

"Like going to ports: we'll come back for supplies." Anne shrugged.

Guest

He nodded. "And go further out each time."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:54 pm

Anne nodded, "Exactly."

Guest

He smirked. "I'll see what I can do." He mused, walking down to his workshop.

Anne grinned, then took back the helm. Once Jericho had an idea, it only took him so long to get a prototype going.

Guest

A few hours later, Jericho returned top-side with a complete set of blueprints.

Anne smiled, "Now, let's see what we've got here..."

Guest

The ship somewhat resembled the Nautilus from Jewels Verne's book, though with a large airbag above it and a jet-like back.

Anne nodded, "Now, explain this to me, since I'm a technology retard."

Guest

"Not much to explain really... the air sack gets us as high as hot air will take us, then the get shoots us up further."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:21 pm

Anne nodded, "And this will work?"

Guest

He shrugged. "We'll know when we test it."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:07 pm

"Manned or un?" she asked.

Guest

"Manned, if you want it to go."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:14 pm

Anne nodded, "I think it's worth a shot. Not sure how many of the crew would be willing to stay on, though."

Guest

He shrugged. "We'll kick them off, then."

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:47 pm

"While in mid-air? Won't that be fun." She smiled.

Guest

"Fun to watch." He mused.

Subject: Re: The King of Clouds Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:57 pm

Anne jumped a bit, then reached her hand in her hair, pulling out the dragonfly, "How did that get in there?"

Guest

He shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine."

She tossed it up in the air and watched it fly around with an amused expression on her face, "How does it work?"
