[001 ¤ Video] Flight Hazards & Preparations

[winged_knight]

[Hello citizens and guests of Saeng Seong, one of your resident giant robots is addressing you today from the terminal on the bottom floor of Building One. He has no problem getting the terminal on even if the buttons are a little undersized for his fingers, but the feed opens to a shot of sleek gray thighs and hip skirting panels before he squats down to smile into the camera.]

Greetings, to those of you whom I haven't met, my name is Wing. I have a message--a warning really--and a question for you all.

Firstly, to those of you capable of flight, please do be careful. The power drain that effects the closed off sections of the city does not dissipate with altitude. And well, withdrawals while flying is...not pleasant nor conducive to staying airborne. [He makes a very not-so-happy face; clearly he found this out the hard way.]

[And yes that means he's been flying around the city a bit the past two weeks or so. Jets aren't exactly the quietest of vehicles, even energon efficient ones, so you may have even spotted the white and red alien jet exploring the airspace over the city at some point.]

Lastly, is there anyone here who has experience or information regarding the needs of humanoids for safe flight in a vehicle? Such as oxygen mix, tolerance for g-forces and the like? I need data for...a project I'm working on.

[America's already given him some information, but the more he has the better, given the health and wellness of any potential passengers is at risk.]

Absolutely I will! Anything to let a friend come visit me. I can teach you all the floors too eventually if you like?

[And then he get an idea...]

What do you like having for breakfast?

[Diarmuid's eyes get wide and he nods excitedly.]

Yes! I would like to learn. I don't really have to read back home, but someone told I should learn how to here.

[At Wing's question, he stops to think a moment before he answers.]

I am not picky, Lord Wing, but I do like things with honey on them best! I don't get it very often, but it is still my favorite!

[winged_knight]

I'd be happy to teach you! We can go out into the city and I can teach you to read the shop signs too.

[You're going to get an education out of this Diarmuid whether you ask for it or not!]

[Also kid priorities: sweets at the top. This does not shock him as much as it might.]

Hmmm, and they have it here, honey? [And things that go with it, he hopes. He knows nothing about human food, but there are lots of people around here to teach him.]

[smallspot]

Yay! More stuff to learn!

[Diarmuid jumps up and down, obviously excited at the idea.]

They have honey here. I haven't gotten any yet because the last time I went shopping I got more new candy. My friend really likes it and I wanted to share with him.

[winged_knight]

Learn as much as you can Diarmuid, knowledge is power and a tool more easily leveraged than any physical weapon.

I shall have to look for some then! [Yes he is planning something, oh indeed.]

[smallspot]

I will! Father and Druid Roc say it's important too.

[Diarmuid smiles widely at Wing, but then his expression grows confused.]

I thought you couldn't eat human candy? Or do you mean go look for some you can eat?
