You stand in the middle of a large hangar in the bowels of a massive vessel. Through several windows you can see clouds drifting by, and a beautiful sunset beyond.
Before you sits a beautiful flying machine: part racer, part star fighter. Twin engines are mounted on either side of a glass canopy cockpit and a massive rocket in the rear. It looks powerful, and expensive.
There's a stairway that leads to the upper decks, but nearby signage makes it clear no one down here is welcome to venture up there.
The hangar is like a large hall, filled with many strange people going about their business. There are six closest to you:
[[Thom]] A large boulder of a man, who's entire right arm appears to be made of iron. He's bent over a great furnace, stoking the embers within.
[[Achah]] A little girl wearing a vibrant, multi-colored dress, who's head seems lost in the clouds as she looks around the hangar.
[[Kalise]] A young woman clad in a sleek suit of black armor, holding a menacing-looking helmet. She looks and you piercingly.
[[Ronnie]] A stout, square-shaped cleaner bot with a small, boxy head, and two stubby arms. It feverishly cleans the floor as people walk past.
[[Verudius]] A short, small man, hunched over a large pile of scrolls and parchments. One scroll in particular rests unrolled before him on a table. He stares down at it wearing a large binocular contraption over his eyes, and uses a nautical compass to make precise measurements.
[[Commanding Officer]] A stern, tall man dressed in black, frowning as he taps on a touch-screen tablet in his hands. He takes no notice of you.

"It's a beautiful Sunbeam"
She smiles.
[["Have you ever been in one?"|Cutscene3]]Cyndi laughs.
"What? No, of course I’ve never been in one. They don’t exactly let someone like me race around the skies. What is it like?"
[[Next|Cutscene4]]The camera strafes along the edge of the hangar, revealing you and Cyndi mid-conversation. Cyndi nods excitedly.
"Oh my, that sounds amazing!
And you have a copilot with you?"
At that, Jasper WHIRS to life, floating down from the top of the racer, circles around Cyndi a few times, then bows to her.
[[Next|Cutscene5]]"PRINCESS, IT IS AN HONOR TO RECIEVE YOU. I AM JASPER"
Cyndi giggles.
"Nice to meet you Jasper!"
"AHEM!" You and Cyndi turn to look at the stairway. A royal-looking figure glares down at her.
[[Next|Cutscene6]]Cyndi turns back to you.
"I have to leave, though I wish to stay a while longer.
Farewell, (Player's name). Perhaps you could tell me all about your next adventure?"
[[Yes|CyndiY]]
[[No|CyndiN]]She smiles.
"I’ll hold you to it then!"
Cyndi turns, walks up the staircase. You watch as she dissapears into the daylight above."Hmm. Well, I might just ask anyway"
She smiles as she turns, walks up the staircase. You watch as she dissapears into the daylight above.You found a Blue Dragonbug!
