[this would be a certain grumpy old pilot standing in front of several things. one, his lovely giant airship, The Dreamcatcher. this was standing outside of its equally giant hangar, but she's not alone. oh no. Cid wasn't just sitting up there doing now. some may recognize the Skyrunners (hover motorcycles basically), only they're more pimped out and look a lot sturdier and sleeker than their prototypes. they're also hovering off the ground, ready to roll. the hangar itself has also developed so that it looks more like an airstrip, complete with a runway. one can only guess that he was working on building smaller planes back inside there.]
All right, listen up. I got aircraft all ready and tested to go. [jerks his thumb to said machines.] Problem is, I don't got any pilots or riders to help crew this damn fleet. Last time I let one of those locals on it, they almost went flyin' off the goddamn mountain so *&^% if I trust 'em on a real trip.
I don't know about you people, but I'm ready to head off this stupid bubble. Still don't know what the hell's out there, but I ain't gonna sit around another year waitin' for somethin' ta just fall on our laps. If that's what you want, fine. Don't need you.
If you think you can handle one of these babies or help work the bridge on The Dreamcatcher, prove it. I'd prefer people who have experience, but I got slim pickin's here. So if you're a fast learner, better prove it or yer off.
Gonna say this once: I don't want any whinin' crybabies. If you can't handle the heat, tough *&^#. I ain't gonna be like your mama and hold yer hand. And this ain't no joyride or cruise ship, either, so don't even ask.
[sec, gotta take a smoke.]
There ain't no set departure date, but the sooner I get folks on this, the sooner we can see what the @*&^ is out there. Probably'll be a week round trip if she holds up.
[and another, as if to give him a moment to make sure he's said everything. which he pretty much has so-]
Got it? Good.
[and disconnect.]
