I've heard that there might be a few pilots here besides myself and Biggs.

What did you fly?  Do any of you know what this is?  [And he very slowly, very carefully draws a schematic-ish side view of an Incom T-65 X-Wing.  He's practiced a lot on note paper, working off what he saw in the dream and what at some deep level he knows is part of the

That looks very nice, indeed!

[desig_survivor]

There are about ten test runs on scrap paper that I ended up showing to Biggs, letting him tell me what he thought I'd gotten wrong. Neither of us are 100% certain about how accurate this is, but it does look better now than it did before.

So thanks.

[truefishsamurai]

As for the flying animals, I've been trying to steer clear of any wildlife; I'm still not sure I'm able to handle myself in that situation.

[desig_survivor]

That's probably sensible. But the stables have tamed animals, which are a bit more predictable. And not so large.

Oh look, the perfect use for Bridge's new "Oooh, shiny" icon

[handy_psychic]

THAT. IS. SO. AWESOME.

Straaaaaawberry...

[desig_survivor]

Hah. Glad you approve, sir.

I'd do better with better tools. Maybe I'll find them on the job.

[handy_psychic]

Just Bridge is fine. ^^ I don't insist on titles~

Yeah, there's no telling what you'll find down there. I believe Maintenance also has tools available to borrow.

It appears to be a one-man craft of some sort; however, I have no clue what those pole-like things could be for.

I have been meaning to at least go and look at the flying animals housed near the racetrack; if I end up riding one of those, I will be sure to tell you what the experience was like.

[desig_survivor]

They're laser cannons, mounted on... foils. Something-foils. The word came and went while I was writing.

Do you remember ever flying in a starfighter? Or any other single-person spacecraft?

...I'm not yet at the point in training where I'm comfortable taking Windmere - that's the griffin they're training me on - up in the air. Then again, she's so laid back I think I'll have trouble getting her off the ground.

[burntorangesky]

No, I have regained no memory that had myself piloting anything like that. The drawing simply looked familiar, as though I had seen something like it before.

Ah, so it is spelled 'griffin'. [Pen taps] Strange the things we remember, or halfway remember, here.

[desig_survivor]

Unfortunate. Thanks anyway, Fred.

The sign at the stables also has "gryphon", "gryffin", "griffon", and "gryphen" written on it. I don't think there's a correct spelling.

[ice_echani]

It appears to be a starfighter of some sort, but the specific make does not seem familiar.

[desig_survivor]

It's definitely a starfighter. All I did in my dream was fly one, or possibly several. Four lasers, some torpedoes, shields, and I'm positive she handled well.

I just don't know what she is. Maybe they were custom fighters and only the other people in the squadron and I ever had them.

Man, this is what I get for slacking on writing his memory.

[live_ringer]

I've had glimpses of someone piloting during a dream--not my own, granted. It was the result of an odd happening going around the Sphere. It felt familiar, but I couldn't really say if that was the result of just being exposed to the dream.

Whatever the case, that particular make doesn't look familiar. The term 'shuttle' comes to mind when I look at it, but I don't know if a transport vehicle would have weaponry like that mounted on it.

Sorry to not be more help.

Re: Man, this is what I get for slacking on writing his memory.

[desig_survivor]

People had each others' dreams?

It's faster than a shuttle, and only one person can fit into it. Maybe two, though I don't think Mynock was humanoid.

Not a problem.

[live_ringer]

Yeah. It was... interesting.

...Mynock? Don't think I'm familiar with that term.

[desig_survivor]

I'll bet.

They're power-sucking winged vermin. For some reason I called whatever was sitting behind me and screaming Mynock before I. [Strikes are scribbled out just after he finishes the I.]
