[Closed] Little Deuce Coupe

[futureisclear]

Ildraniath didn't spend all of her time plotting. She spent quite a lot of time brooding, as well. Or simply thinking about the situation she'd been thrust into. For someone who's entire goal and purpose in life was to safely read the future and guide her people through it, stumbling blind through the void was a challenge, to say the least. And

Sleek, curved lines, elegant form, exquisite composition... now that was a (jet)bike Zouichi could appreciate. He supposed he could see now why Erhart had remarked upon the differences between Eldar craft (or even a Variable Fighter) and the large, flying battering rams the Imperium apparently made use of.

He slipped his way past several X-Wings, making his way toward where Ildraniath was standing and quietly noting the change in her usual expression. "A reminder of home?" he asked.

Ildraniath looked up, slightly startled. She hadn't imagined she'd run into Zouichi here. Or anyone, really. She composed her features and dipped her head in a small nod.

"Something to that effect. It's a jetbike. Used in wartime, mostly."

The craft does have seem to have a pair of underslung cannons.

If Zouichi noticed her surprise, he didn't remark upon it. "I suppose that would go some ways toward explaining why it's in the Hangar. Perhaps there are other surprises here, too." Certainly he'd never seen the jetbike on his previous visits here... but then, craft could be moved from other areas of the ship, and the bike was not especially bulky.

He turned back toward her. "Do you know how to pilot it?" He was trying to be polite about it, but the truth was he was rather curious about how such a craft might work. Or what its power source might be.

"This ship has no end of surprises," Ildraniath replied wryly. She was personally hoping to avoid any that might be lethal. She glanced back at the bike and then suppressed a small chuckle.

"I do know how to use it, actually. I used to be a Shining Spear, in another life."

She turned back to the bike and ran her hand over the hull again, letting her fingers linger, "From what I remember, it was rather exhilarating."
