I'm a temporary supervisor at best, if that helps.

Manual. [ He will send a simple drawing of a bicycle for reference. ] There'll be some enchantments involved but not for hovering. Although you might speak to Viktor in the Free Cities if you have any expertise or interest, he's working on the blueprints.

[ Privately, he appreciates that Kyle is looking out for them. It speaks to his character. Or rather, what parts of it Cassian can discern.

He notes the name, still not entirely certain that his message will get to where it needs to go, but figures it's a future him problem. ]

Wheels. There's no rubber available here, so it'll be a bumpy ride without them.

[diametrically]

so they'll have wooden bouncy wheels?

[ushiri]

Wood and leather. But I think the idea is to have the enchantments smooth out the ride.

The carriages here make do somehow.

[diametrically]

the carriages have more suspension to absorb the bumps
you think wood, leather and magic is going to be enough?

[ Skeptical? Cassian Andor? No. ]

[ushiri]

Our inventor is very talented. So is the man doing the enchanting.

[ His balls are in their hands. ]

[diametrically]

[ His poor balls!!! ]

You've probably already met Istredd already.

Viktor is in the Free Cities, he's usually willing to help most of us with this sort of thing.

[ Friends with Istredd, yes. Viktor, probably. ]

[diametrically]

i met istredd at the welcome party.
he encouraged me to read more.

[ Something that he's surprisingly taken to heart because there is little else to do here. ]

i'm surprised the monarchy here is willing to let free cities technology into its boarders.

[ushiri]

That sounds about right.

I would've thought the same a year ago after the attack on Libertas.

I considered other options, but passing the prototype through Nocwich via Thorne's portal and checkpoint guards seems like a good test of what they're willing to allow.

[ If it causes any future trouble, it'll be on him. ]

[diametrically]

I just use if they refused a bicycle with wheels made of leather and wood i'd be surprised
what other means were you considering?

[ushiri]

Oh. Mostly just ways of passing it off as our own.

[diametrically]

that's surprising behaviour from the star delivery boy

[ushiri]

I'm very passionate about bicycles.

[diametrically]

would you call yourself an enthusiast?

[ushiri]

I just might.

I'll let you know how it goes.

[diametrically]

sure thing, boss
