I have an airship. I was going to launch it today, but then it snowed. .... improbable inclement weather, interfering with my plans

Is that airship actually usable?

[galacticboss]

Yes, it will fly.

...

The roof in the way is a minor drawback.

[citrinitas_668]

If you can transport it to the upper level, you can probably test it there.

[galacticboss]

It will fly to the upper level, Mars.

....

How wide is the stairway?

[citrinitas_668]

I doubt it is robust enough to get through the plate, unless you included a drill.

And the stairs are not wide enough for an airship, I suppose.

[galacticboss]

No, I doubt that a drill would pierce the upper plate.

....bothersome.

[citrinitas_668]

If the drill is big and strong enough, it could work. They can be surprisingly powerful when spinning at a high enough speed.

[galacticboss]

I suppose it's worth a try. We'll mount it on the ship.

[citrinitas_668]

We have one?

[galacticboss]

A drill? Easy enough to fashion. No complicated parts. There is quite a lot of scrap steel which can be melted down.

[citrinitas_668]

Hm. As always, we have to make everything from scratch...

[galacticboss]

As opposed to?

Would you trust something obtained by other means here? Even the bomb was flawed, and the ground seems to have spat it up. No, things that I don't oversee can't be trusted. They will be flipped or flawed or broken. Do not trust what you see here. Especially here. All things are lies, and this place is ... less than that. Just a shadow on the wall.

[citrinitas_668]

I suppose you're right about that. Nothing should be trusted in this place. Most things come back to haunt you should you accept them as an act of kindness by the gods.

[galacticboss]

They're too petty to act out of something as selfless as kindness, in any case. Had they any greater interests, they would cease this entire farce immediately.

....

Ending the world is, of course, preferable; but those means seem unreachable with the current deities. The deities I am familiar with are not present here and seem to have had no hand in this plane's creation. There is the abyss, something lurking beneath the ground, as well, which has potential.

[citrinitas_668]

So for now, there is no way to end the world as you wish to do it. What's the airship for, then?

[galacticboss]

..... I don't recall. I started building it in an altered state, influenced by some action or another of the gods, and saw no reason to cease building it. For now, consider it fast transportation and a way to move around large quantities of materials.
