clockwork_phoenixPreviously - Recycling is fun too!
The Crash Site, Somewhere within the borders of the Wulfenbach Empire.
To go on a tangent, Bella Fennix's Spark lies primarily in the fact that she can construct engines. The ability to construct Death Rays and other weapons came after this. This. THIS, is what she lives for. What she lives to break down and build up.
Everything has its use. With the exception of that mutilated little nut in the Sanctuary garbage, we have something that Bella has created with utter joy.
That is to say, she does have fun constructing Death Rays and weapons (as making things go boom is fun!), but.
What she vastly prefers, is making things that move, that power.
And thus.
We have her latest creation.
It's a vehicle. Made from various parts of the airship, it's what amounts to a massive sled on wheels (the landing gear from something-or-other inside, landing skis to stabilize it further on the ground). The massive, dissected and reconstructed engine on the back, with one of the smaller propellers attached to that for propulsion.
There's a reason she made the testing car. She only found one propeller of suitable size still intact.
A rudder from the airship stands on the top of the engine, the Southern Alliance symbol on both sides it painstakingly crossed through. The damn thing was painted on, and wouldn't scrape off.
The rudder controlled by a stick near the seat, the brake and throttle similarly done. Reworking the engine itself was the easy part. Getting it down, was the hard part, as it was still mostly attached to the envelope.
The fuel tank was underneath the engine. "NOW, TO SEE IF IT WORKS."
She hupped up into the seat, and strapped herself in--as she's insane, not stupid--and cranked the engine. Sputter. Vrrrrrrroooonnnn. It STARTED.
"YES!"
The hard part would come next. Attaching some way to carry things on it. But it works. It WORKS.
