Back in the Hanger again

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 3:47 pm

Roland, this time WITHOUT suitcase, looked over some of the planes in the X-Corp hanger.

"You think they could make a manual or something..."

Behind him, someone cleared her throat.

"Yes, yes, you're very mysterious and sneaky. What can I do for you?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:41 pm

"Are we having this talk again?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:28 pm

"No, Professor, I'm not fleeing the country. Yet."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:30 pm

"How encouraging."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:35 pm

"I'm glad to be of service.

Can you fly these things?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:36 pm

"I can more than fly these things. I can make them do things that would make Chuck Yeager blush."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:37 pm

"Who?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:38 pm

"The first man to travel faster than the speed of sound."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:21 pm

Roland regarded Dee blankly.

"If you say so."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:38 pm

"These can travel faster than sound, mind you."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:46 pm

Roland blinked again. "That's...that's bloody fast."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:05 pm

"It's the whole reason thunder exists. It's a sonic boom from breaking the barrier."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:07 pm

"That makes sense. I vaguely remember something about that, but I honestly never paid much attention to it. Didn't seem particularly relevant, you know?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:10 pm

"That would be why these are particularly fiddly. They can do a bloody lot more than old planes."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Sep 12, 2013 12:34 am

"You'd be surprised what some of those...'old' planes could do."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Sep 12, 2013 12:46 am

"They weren't capable of vertical takeoff, supersonic flight, radar baffling, and active visual camouflage."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:23 am

"Why on earth would you want to take-off vertically? Ain't nothing straight up."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:32 am

"I mean it doesn't require a runway."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Sep 12, 2013 1:51 am

"Why would you use a plane if you don't have a runway?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:44 pm

"I could illustrate rather directly."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:51 pm

"I think that might be interesting."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:59 pm

"So why are you in here after all, Sackville?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 10:00 pm

"Honestly, just to sate my curiosity re: planes. Or whatever it is you call these things now. It's been a while."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 2:57 pm

"No harm in still calling it a plane. As I said, I could certainly take you up in one."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:02 pm

"I imagine these can do a bit more than one of those 747s or whatever you call them. I think I'd like to see that."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:08 pm

"Give me a moment to file a flight plan, and we can go for a spin."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:21 pm

"Why would you need to file a flight plan? Just a quick up-and-about's all you need."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:53 pm

"With a vehicle of this caliber, they do generally like to be informed when we're taking one for a spin."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:11 pm

"I thought you had all kinds of, I don't know, crazy stealth planes."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:17 pm

"Yes, and one of the conditions of Her Majesty being so understanding of us operating a borderline paramilitary facility is a little courtesy," she smirked.

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:31 pm

"Just tell her you have a Knight of the Round Table alongside. I wonder if that would actually still work."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:39 pm

"It won't take long. If you like, I'll blare Wagner in the cabin to set the mood."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:46 pm

Roland made a face. "Opera."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:48 pm

"Not a fan?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 11:39 pm

"Eh. It seems so...pointless."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:26 pm

"I have it on good authority that sound and fury about valkyries is de rigeur for aerial excursions."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:30 pm

"Well, if it's required," he said, confused.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:32 pm

"That and I thought something more modern wouldn't be to your liking," she said as she went to file the flight plan.
