[video feed opens to a sandy beach, waves splashing in the back and one (1) Jim Hawkins with a metal contraption looking a bit uneasy at the camera.]

Hey, do you really hafta record this?

Do you want to check the flight patterns or not? I'm not making a network post. Start it already.

Fine, fine. Just-- Stay out of the way.

Tch! Tell it to your grandmother."

[camera starts awkwardly panning out as Gokudera steps back. Jim grabs the surfer's guard-rail and runs along the waterline with it and-- up it goes! Slowly climbing and Jim looks fairly proud of himself jumping onto it. For a few minutes everything was flying and nothing hurt and once it's ten feet in the air ... it starts losing altitude oh no. The flyer starts trailing smoke and careens to the water]

Shit--fucking idiot, what scraps did you--"

[the camera jostles a bit before the feed cuts out. RUN, GOKUDERA, RUN]

And you were losing power even before it started overheating. Checking the engine wouldn't have helped. There's gotta be something in the design.

I wouldn't have said it if you didn't.

So like I said, I'll figure it out when we get it back in the city.

Look, the point is? It flew, even if it went wrong in the end.

It flew. For one minutes and forty-three seconds.



Unless you want to count the crashing.

No thanks.

...It still flew.

That's not flying. That's finding new ways to hit the ground.

No, the crashing was that.

The getting off the ground for the minute and forty-three seconds was flying. You just said it yourself.

Nothing, nothing! "Five minutes", what?

Get it to stay up for more than five minutes next time. Then it'll be worth counting.

Like you made it happen this time?



I want a look at those plans.

Hey, I said it'd fly and it flew. Getting it up for five minutes? Sure.

...Yeah, I guess.

I like to think of it as setting easy goals.

You don't. It's practically rigged to catch this shit.
