[On the screen is an impish-looking woman with ash blonde hair and blue eyes, and though she is smiling the expression looks just a little strained at the corners.]

Hello, everyone! I'm Guizhong, and I have a... question. Possibly a slightly upsetting one but one I feel compelled to ask due to my own circumstances...

[Pause. Deep breath.]

Did anyone else... die? Before they came here?

[Guizhong blurts out a short laugh.]

Because, ahm... I did? And I thought I was handling that quite well, but it turns out that I may... not be, after all.

Woah! That at least means you're fearless and a good leader though, which is a pretty impressive set of skills, if you ask me.

[ but oh boy, now you're really speaking his language, guizhong!! ryouma lights up at the mention of airships. is he closer? he's getting closer, like a dog that doesn't understand camera phones. ]

Me too! I could watch them all day! I wanna know how they work! Don't you wanna try flying one yourself?!

[godofdust]

Oh, absolutely! [She brightens up in turn, also scooting herself forwards a little bit.]

I managed to take a good peek into one of their engine rooms, before someone spotted me.

[At which point she had made a quick exit, because she's not interested in stirring up too much trouble while she's here.]

Do you think that they have places where they take the ones that have been decomissioned?

[kaientai]

There must be! It probably takes months to build or scrap them, so they've gotta be doing it somewhere that wouldn't disrupt everything else...

[ he considers this. ]

I bet we could find it if we tried.

[ what could go wrong? ]

[godofdust]

I can't imagine such a place would be secret.

[Guarded, perhaps... Prohibited entry... perhaps. But with a determined mind many things can be possible! And Guizhong really wants to find out how those things get off the ground.]

I'm sure we can find where it is if we just ask around!
