63.62, -19.613333: Do you know if the technology is still there and just unable to be powered or was it completely stripped?
63.62, -19.613333: By "mag-lev based", do you mean that it was entirely powered by magnetic levitation, or that it revolved around magnetic levitation? The difference being that it would have assisting technology to keep flight stable
63.62, -19.613333: Electromagnetic fields can cause illness to the human body, especially if it's a superconducted magnetic field
63.62, -19.613333: That should be okay though, it looks big enough

hurricane: o sweet
hurricane: i like super extra dont want her getting sick or nothing
hurricane: p sure it was 100% mag-lev tho
hurricane: lemme see if stuff got stripped out, hold on a sec

[That's the last message that comes through for narly thirty minutes. Then:]

hurricane: near as i can tell, they only stripped the weapons

63.62, -19.613333: Is it in Heart Soldier Senshi?
63.62, -19.613333: Can we see it??

hurricane: its in the garage rn
hurricane: i can show u guys if u want?

63.62, -19.613333: I'll be on my way up in just a minute!!

hurricane: ok!!
hurricane: c u soon!!!

[ in just a few minutes a sheep is knocking on the door, accompanied by one(1) robosheep and one(1) part-robohorse ]

[Opening the door]

Oh - hey, dude. That was quick.

Well, yeah! There's no way I'd pass up the chance to work on something like this!

When I showed her the picture she wanted to come up right away, ehehe . . .

Well, thanks for coming. I really appreciate you guys taking a look.

C'mon, I got it in the garage.

[Stepping out to join them in the hall and gesture them toward the elevator]

You're welcome!

[ and off she goes, ]

[ sheep is following behind ]

[TO THE GARAGE]

[Where there is a very suspiciously shaped tarp in the far corner]

Okay, check this out. Are you ready for this?

[And he tugs off the tarp like he's in a magician's show, to reveal the suit on the left]

...Wow! It's like Victorian steam armour, but new!

[ she immediately just like runs up to start examining it ]

[ she's also approaching it from the side . . . ]

Where did you get it, anyway?

I got these tokens I could trade in for something from home, so I swapped em out for Nem's suit.

Edited 2021-12-13 01:46 (UTC)

[ horse is way too busy fawning over machinery to listen to anything anyone is saying, ]

Oh, the tokens!

[ looking it over. . . ]

Do you have one, too?

Back home, yeah. I ain't bought it back yet, though.

So, uh. What do you guys think? You think you can get 'er airborne?

Definitely! Probably through a method different than what you're familiar with, but this'll be a lot easier to get into the air than Mr. W was!

[ nodding to hurricane, and then going to valumi: ]

What do you think about portable magnetized launching rails?

Whoa, like for planes? You think that'd work?

A catapult? It'd work for the launch, sure...even if it's portable though, a system like that would still be really cumbersome. Maybe we could build it into the suit itself?

Not like planes, exactly, uhm. . . Maybe it'd work better if the feet were able to spring—oh!

[ to hurricane: ]

How do you open this? Can we see the insides?

Oh - yeah, sure.

[Opening it up for them]

[ LOOKING INSIDE ]

Wow...what was your idea, Felicity?

I was just wondering if there was a way to incorporate magnetic levitation. . .

—oh! Since Hurricane's planet is capable of having its gravity be stabilized against, it might be a property of "Earth". It'd definitely be impossible on Terra, since the Catastrophes disrupt the magnetic fields too frequently for that to be a reliable method of flying, but maybe it's different here.

[Fiddling with some latches to pop some plating on the armor, letting them get a look at the inner workings along with the control area]

These dudes are the mag-lev bits, if that helps any. Here and here.

[Indicating them in the arms and legs and chest]
