Good chapter little surprised with orders the military had along with the agent they didn't try to seize all the ponies or impound the airship.
Not to detract from your story but this crossing into the US was way too easy.. Stellar and the other accepted as people just like that. How about passports or other papers, Daring and the others in the hands or military would easily bypass that not so much for civilians especially those claiming to be refugees. Where is your pilot are they licensed to fly in the US aircraft operating in the US requires a licensed pilot. Now we have the airship itself its not certified by the FAA to operate in the US regardless of what the transponder is saying and all the officials that came aboard would know this. Probably easiest way to handle that is have the airship listed as experimental
Well, for a start, the aircrew weren't exactly in any position to 'sieze' the airship, and had no orders to do so anyway. Their orders were to transport a small number of ponies to the US. Once their aircraft got shot down, that placed them at Stellar's mercy, especially after she saved the lot of them.
As for Wellman, he also had fairly limited orders. Plus when Stellar revealed what she knew of the whole situation to him, he quickly realised that his entire agency was working under incorrect information. Plus the revealed threat of Discord and what Stellar told Wellman about him has told the agent that He needs to have his superiors informed and the whole situation re-evaluated. The possibility of Discord actually having infiltrated their intelligence structure and manipulating things would be a nightmare scenario for any such organisation, I imagine, especially if his goals are as Stellar has stated to Wellman. He's seen how powerful Stellar is. Can you imagine Wellman contemplating what some being of near-infinite power could wreak on Earth as we know it?
Hmmm... all very good points, I must admit. I could easily say that Stellar and Lt Hod went over these while the Stellar Wind was being inspected, but I have a feeling you'd consider that too easy an option. As it is, Stellar has already said she feels the F.A.A. might be very confused with the construction of the Stellar Wind. Passports and things are going to be dealt with in another chapter. Eventually, Stellar's hoping to get the Stellar Wind denoted as a kind-of 'travelling embassy', using her rank and position as Princess of Equestria. It will mean dealing with the U.N., but it does mean that they will be able to issue their own passports and papers... eventually.
Salient Weather has nearly fifty years experience in both flying and commanding balloons and airships, and he has experienced crew there from the Airship Service. They are scattered a little thinly through the other crew, but they are there to watch, teach and monitor the newer crew as they come up to speed. Evening Mist and his sister Morning Mist both have over twenty years of experience, and you will always find one of them on the bridge when Captain Weather isn't there. Any questioning of them by any competent person would be able to rate them as experienced.
The transponder merely says the airship is registered, and as every air vehicle is required to be registered and carry a transponder, she is up-to-code in that regard. And you're right in saying they'd probably list her down as Experimental, since the spell-tech used to make her goes against a lot of what humans consider 'Normality', anyway. One of the few things that any inspection could not disagree with the Stellar Wind is that she is non-polluting. Her presence hardly touches on anywhere she goes; she leaves no trails of smoke or such, and her engines are as clean as any you could hope to see. And as Stellar said to Hod: 'She'll stay together as long as we occupy her'.
All in all nicely done can't speak to other readers but you are keeping me engaged and thinking about the story
a vary impressive chapter i love it.
crossing in to US airspace was smother than i thought it was going to be.
i can see Redhart being over whelmed with wounded or even a miner cold out brake.
over all a super good chapter.
