Day One



Dev.

Name- Capt. Develin Hanson- Captains Journal Entry # 1

We set flight today. The engineers thought (considering the time that they didn't get to put into it), that it would not be capable of even getting off of the docks. But it proved them wrong. We proved them wrong.
Although I cannot express my gratitude towards Celestia enough, I am compelled to understand why she would personally promote me to captain, when I've only done a few, less publicized flights. After all, this baby's got the newest, most recently discovered fuel source (from the Outlands), and the highest in rocket propulsion technology. Just mentioning the name of it, The Celeste, can make any science-pony get chills down their back.
Yet still, that though tears at the corners of my mind. Why?

Anyway, today I met the guests lucky enough to get tickets for the ride. Some seemed genuinely interested in the plane and where we were going (The little filly Liberty comes to mind), while others were too busy indulging in themselves or their other engagements... Who can blame them, though? It's not like this is as exciting to some other less scientifically-inclined ponies. And while groundbreaking, the general media wasn't snagged by the ploy.
If I can recall correctly, there are 5 other passengers upon the ship. I didn't get the names of them (save Liberty), though I suppose I can just search it up in the flight log later. But for now, I guess I'll just recall from memory.
Let's see... There was a newlywed couple heading for their honeymoon. Their cabin is next to mine, so I need to make sure that I have my earplugs with me. And that the interior decorators went with the padded headboards.
Then there's that white collar colt, too concerned with his business to relax or even return my well-wishings. My guess is that we won't be seeing much of him, as he seems very content with his BigMacbook Pro and Blueblood headset. Such a shame that some ponies can't be bothered to look up and enjoy Celestia's gift.
The last one I remember seeing was an elderly pegasus, who had a tendency to avoid the other passengers with disgust. Judging by his age, I speculate that he was probably a member of PAEM*. To be honest, I'm glad that he is straying away from the other ponies. I don't want him to scare the other passengers.

Okay, I should end this log for now. The radar is sensing some sort of landmass.... I never know how to end these things. I don't just want to end abruptly, or else you wonder if something was omitted. But then again, you don't want them to be too lengthy... Until next time. No no no. That won't do.
