"Any idea what caused the engines to fail like that?" Nathan asked Danny out of the blue

"I'm an alchemist Nathan, not an engineer" He reminded his companion

"You still most likely know more about that stuff then I do"

"Eh, there is a little bit of overlap. Although without seeing the damage for myself, my best guess would have to be sabotage."

"You think someone broke the engines intentionally?"

"No, that's just my best guess. I can't think of anything else that could have caused them to fail that someone wouldn't have caught. Now granted, I'm sure there is an explanation that makes sense that isn't 'someone did it on purpose' but I don't know what it is."

"Really? I thought you said that engineering and alchemy had a little overlap?"

"That's mostly around fuel. Turns out that alchemy is good at making the stuff that powers ships like that."

"I see."

With their conversation at an end, the two fell back into silence.
