Launch of The Enterprise

[ Another video by Emet-Selch, but this one is purposeful. The video shows a brand new ship in the dock of the Adamantine Forge. Unlike the first, this one has been built to accommodate its magitech engine from the very beginning. While it mostly resembles a sailing ship, it has elements of more advanced ship design to it: more metal joints and fixtures than usual towards the base where the engine sits, and a sail with the ability to drawn in latent aether and keep the ship powered.

On its side is its name painted boldly: THE ENTERPRISE.

There's a large turn-out for this launch. More than the test-run of its prototype. All the people who worked to build this thing in such a short time, the investor who funded the project, and whoever else decided to sticky-beak when they saw the commotion - it would be difficult for the shellphone to capture if it wasn't somehow floating above the crowd.

And it IS certainly floating on its own: because Emet-Selch is at the rear of the ship to officially send it off into the open sea. For once, the elder mage actually looks every inch a dignitary as he speaks into a hovering, magical orb which magnifies the volume of his voice to those listening. ]


Thank you all for coming together to celebrate the launch of The Enterprise. 'Twas truly a magnificent effort from all of our artisans and engineers over the past few moons. Today marks what I hope will be a significant leap forward in the field of magitech development and research. I won't bore you with some grandiose speech about dreams or aspirations - I shall simply say that anything is possible when like-minded individuals work together. I hope those of you who choose to remain affiliated with the Forge - and even those of you who do not - keep that ethos in your hearts.

[ With that, he waves the orb away. Because this ship can sail under its own power, what better way to demonstrate its prowess than to eschew the traditional bottle shattering and let it start on its own? Emet-Selch raises a finger and shoots magical sparks into the air, which is the signal for the captain and his crew to set sail.

There are cheers as the magitech engine quietly roars into life. The ship slowly eases out of the dock into the open ocean, crew members waving to those left on dry land. For those physically present, The Enterprise will sail around Eltrut before making its way to Atnam, where its new home will be with RAY, the free traders.

The video, however, ends once the ship is out of sight. ]
