Katas couldn't contain his excitement, it was the maiden voyage of his first airship! While a far cry from the space vessels he hoped to build someday it was a nice start, and there were plenty of applications for something such as this. Did other kingdoms have anything similar? He wasn't sure, but if they didn't then this would be a crowning jewel for their own and he was thrilled by that. Having explained the controls as simply as he could he urged for T'charrl to start the vehicle, eager to see how it ran. Near instantaneously the ship came to life, and with a slight shudder it began to hum dully, signaling the engines and mechanisms inside were working as they should. "Haha! Yes, yes it was! Splendid, it worked accordingly!" Katas cheered, grinning as he clasped his hands together, "Very splendid! Now easy on the throttle Prince! Just give it a little to start with, there's no reason to dive in head first. Remember, the throttle controls the wings, the levers the rudder and the pull cord releases the anchor! A very simply yet elegant design, I think you'll love flying it." He hoped so, it wouldn't exactly promote others to try piloting his crafts if the first pilot loathed the task. Worst case scenario he could always do the test flights himself he supposed, though the Queen may not be so keen on letting him fly off wherever he pleased. For a second there it was almost believable Shu was going to hold it together, right up until the airship turned on. Really it was nothing more than just turning on a car, the noise and faint rumbling being pretty similar. That didn't keep the little guy from getting spooked though, and pretty soon he was latching onto Takeshi for dear life. Looking down at his younger brother he smiled exasperated, letting out a sigh before placing an arm around him again. "It's going to be fine buddy, I keep telling you that. Once you get past the noise and a bit of shaking it's not bad, really." This was all being said of course without any idea whatsoever of how this vehicle of their was going to fly. Most everyone else was too mystified by the creation to be spooked, save for T'charrl who was a little bit uneasy just by turning it on. Maybe their friend wasn't the best choice for a pilot, though then again no one on board right now really was. This would be an awesome time to have Vegeta around, or Viral even. Glancing over at the benches Takeshi tried to get his brother over, figuring sitting down might make it not as scary for the little guy. "It'll be like being in a boat, have you ever done that? Just imagine we're in a boat in the water and not the air, maybe that'll help." Haku wasn't totally sure what to make of the airship, only that he thought this was all a bit much. There really wasn't anything stopping them from just flying off themselves, and had they done that chances were they'd nearly be there by now. Instead of taking the obvious route they were trying out a rickety prototype of an invention, made perfect sense. Bracing himself when the machine came to life he looked over at Shu, slouching slightly and looking on baffled at how meek the kid was. He was pretty much a self-proclaimed coward and yet even he wasn't freaking out over this. T'charrl wasn't having the easiest time of it either, though Haku guessed it was more having to fly the ship. He wouldn't mind giving it a go himself, even if the most he'd ever really driven before was a bicycle back on Earth. Standing at T'charrl's side he looked over the controls curiously, having heard most of what was said between him and that weird alien. "I can always do this if you don't want to..." he said, feigning little care as he idly flicked one of the displays, "I don't know what else I'll do during the trip anyways."
