"Hmm, well with some improvements we could allow at least three beasts in each balloon. Flame throwers would be an awesome plan!" Cressida said, fire was one of the best weapons to use in a battle.

"...Fire throwers. I don't get why beasts can't get that. It's a fire thrower. It throws a shell of fire. The shell bursts on impact. It does some fun damage, but it'd probably be limited to one per balloon, since those things are so heavy. And not much ammunition, unfortunately. Really, the only 'improvement' apparent right now is a larger balloon, and then you have more fuel consumption and more fuel stored as a result and it's just... I haven't even built one large enough to hold a beast in it yet," Linx reminded her. "You're making a lot of assumptions here."

"Yeah I guess I am getting a little carried away..." Cressida said blushing a little since she just embarrassed herself.

"Look, everyone who isn't an inventor does. It's so fun to speculate... What isn't so fun for most is sitting down and doing the actual innovation part," Linx remarked. He'd noticed that a lot about people. Except for Archon, who was a bit of an inventor himself, and a few others, beasts tended to get carried away with ideas the mouse had woven together. "So I'll be putting some of my budget towards putting together a balloon. I should probably come up with a better name than that, first..."

*Dantin had been walking along the streets, not doing much when he saw a floating oval shaped thing rise up into the air. He didn't know what in the world it was but he had an idea that, somehow, Linx might be involved, either him or Archon. He walked out the gates in the direction he had seen the red thing descend and was soon rewarded by the sight of Linx standing with a squirrel he had never met before.* "So, whats with the floating oval of death, Linx?"

Said floating oval was no longer floating, and it was actually more of a dome, but Linx was open to talk about it anyway. "Hey, Dantin... Uh... It's not gonna be of death until I make one large enough for a beast to stand in a giant basket under the lamp. Until then, it's just a flying balloon... Floating... Whatever. I found out a while ago that heating air makes it expand, so I figured that made it lighter than cooler air... And now I have this balloon."

Cressida turned around hearing another creature approaching, probably here to see the balloon, just like she was. As she turned she saw a mouse, one that she hadn't seen before. "Hello there, who might I have the pleasure of greeting today, sir?" Cressida said while holding out a paw to the mouse.

*Dantin smiled and shook the squirrel's paw.* "Oh, sorry. My name's Dantin." *He hadn't even realised that he had almost totally ignored her... bad on his part.* "And what might your name be?"

Cressida returned his smile "I am Cressida, a warrior here at Otter's Fort, it's my great pleasure to be meeting a captain of the fort." Cressida said with great admiration for the mouse.

"Hey... You met one already, didn't you?" Linx picked up his invention now that the metal frame had cooled enough to comfortably hold in his bare paws. "You act like you've never even seen Archon."

*Dantin raised an eyebrow.* "You know Archon? He's a pretty cool guy..." *At the moment, he was wondering how she knew he was a captian but he was more interested in how she knew Archon.*

"Yeah I've met Archon before, he's a pretty nice guy." Cressida said blushing a little, extremely unusual for the mousemaid, then cursed to herself for letting her personal side show.

*Dantin raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, instead, he changed the subject.* "So... Linx, your planning on making this small floating oval of death into a really big floating oval of death so we could drop stuff onto the enemies?"

"Yes. Instead of an oversized oil tank, I think it'd be a good idea to try having a self-crewed balloon with a gondola right underneath the lamp, so you can control it from there and possibly fire down on the enemy. The weight of your armament would be severely limited, but I think I have a few ways around that." An entire fire thrower with ammunition included wouldn't be a good idea, but they could possibly carry a few glass bottles on with them. Just throw them!

*Dantin nodded.* "Well, it would probably be better to use something that covers a larger area 'cos It would probably be hard to hit anything from high up with the wind and all that's up there." *Dantin had some experience with hights, mountains probably counted as hights and there was plenty of wind on mountains; he knew this from experience.*
