[Empiricist]

"Well. That's certainly new."
Yuri quickly scribbles down more notes frantically.
"Since our innate magic isn't very strong, we use ways that make it more powerful, but less controllable... since you probably have a lot more magic than most things, I'm really not sure what would happen if you try those kinds of spells."

[Vgray]

"Hm. Here is a taste of Gnomish and Dwarvish technology."

Tasrak shows her designs for spidertanks, Dwarven steam powered siege engines and gryocopters. Along with mechanostrider designs.

[Empiricist]

"That looks a bit like a VTOL... do you have anything like an interceptor?"

[Vgray]

"Describe it to me."

[Empiricist]

"It's a kind of military plane, it uses magically-contained nuclear explosions to propel itself at high speeds."

[Vgray]

"Not really no."

[Empiricist]

"Oh, what about regular planes?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

The figure takes down notes.

[Vgray]

"We have those. The goblins have these flying death traps."

Tasrak shows her a zeppelin design.

[Empiricist]

Yuri suddenly shifts without seemingly moving. "This is theurgy, one of the four ways we achieve that by."
"Looks like a blimp. Don't those two fill completely different roles?"

[Vgray]

"I mention it because early gyrocopter designs were used for scouting, while the first zeppelins filled the same role. Now the Goblins use them mostly for passenger and cargo transport."

[Empiricist]

"Yeah, large balloons are probably better for that than scouting."

[Vgray]

"The first designs were smaller. Floating two man baskets basically."

[Empiricist]

"So a hot-air balloon then?"
"Do you have a name, товарищ-さん?"

[Vgray]

"Yes."

Tasrak examines his sword.
