Sixty-Ninth Theory [Voice]
[Yesterday the village grew quiet, as many villagers were called on a draft, and many others began the anxious wait to see if their friends and loved ones would return to the village safely.]
[Also yesterday, a breath of warm weather arrived in Luceti. Don has been out enjoying it, trying not to dwell on those who are fighting on a flying island right now. He has enough other things on his mind, and around midday he does something about one of them.]
Filtered to Beast || Unhackable
Beast... I haven't thanked you properly for what you did for Robert and me. For everything you've done for us.
End Filter
[Later, he leaves a brief, unfiltered message:]
Would anyone be interested in learning how to program computers and fix cars?

Where do you want to go, Captain?
[Action]
[With that, Pascal nudges at the controls and moves the helicopter off the roof and into the sky.]
Are there any cool things to see in wherever-we-are? Ooh, or didja maybe katappatap in a helithingy assault course?
[Action]
It's Manhattan. You can't miss the cool things.
[For example, the giant buildings lit up against the night sky, their spires poking into the clouds.]
[Action]
[The helicopter banks to one side as Pascal weaves her way around a building in front of them. This is fun!]
Anyway, I don't know a thing about this Manhattan place. There might be all sorts of cool things hiding around these pointy buildings, waiting to be uncovered!
[Action]
One thing you should know about "this Manhattan place" is that aircraft crashing into buildings is not considered to be very funny.
[Action]
[Unless there's a world out there where people do laugh at that sort of thing! Who knows.]
I'm not going to crash it anyway, have a little faith in me and stuff!
[Action]
[He points towards a graceful bridge.]
[Action]
[Off to the bridge they go! No banking all over the place this time though, Pascal makes sure to take things gentler than before.]
[Action]
I liked to climb this bridge, back in the real Manhattan.
[Action]
[Wait, was Don saying something? Uh.]
Huh, wassat? Climbing stuff?
[Action]
Yes, I climbed... a lot of stuff.
[Action]
[Okay, back to staring at the cars. Wanting to take a closer look, Pascal maneuvers around so the helicopter is facing the bridge. Aw yeah, look at all those car thingies whizzing by.]
[Action]
We could go. Out in the real Luceti, I mean.
[... Oh crud, maybe he should not have distracted her from the task of flying a helicopter.]
[Action]
[She said she wasn't going to crash it and she means it, really! Her attention might be divide between mountains and piloting a helicopter but she's keeping things steady right now...
That is, until she decides to take the helicopter up and over the bridge's supports so it's more hovering over the bridge rather than next to it. Hopefully none of the drivers are programmed to flip out too badly at the sight of a helicopter flying just above them.]
[Action]
I love going up there. I could show you some of my favorite spots.
[Action]
[Now what favourite things should she go with? Inventions? Nah. Banana flavoured foods? Ooh, that could be a winner.]
[Action]
I'd like that.
[Action]
[That would make it twice the favourite! Favouritest? ... It would be even more special, somehow.]
