Skybound

Skybound- Above the clouds

In the airship, they were still trying to get it back to work.

Hungary: "Try again!"

Teodora: "Still nothing."

Austria-Hungary: "Maybe the line is blocked."

Hungary: "It's not the line. We just replaced the line."

Austria-Hungary: "What about that clinky-thumpy thing over there?"

Hungary: "You mean the piston?"

Austria-Hungary: "Ah! Is that what it's called?"

Hungary: "It's not the piston, father. It's the battery, okay? It's dead. Look, isn't there anything else you could be doing?"

Austria-Hungary sat down next do his daughter, feeling quite hurt by her words.

Austria-Hungary: "I'm here to help you dear"

Hungary: "I don't need help! I've been doing just fine for a long time! The whole time you were gone, and Austria and i were on our own, raising ourselves? Remember that time?"

Austria-Hungary: "You know that German Empire and I didn't have any choice about that. We had few power left to raise you and..."

Hungary: "Oh! I know father, I know! I'm not saying it's your fault, I'm just saying...it's a bit late to help now. I'm not a little girl anymore. Okay?"

She left the room, leaving Austria-Hungary questioning what he did wrong to let Hungary act like this. In the meantime Poland and Serbia were listening to the whole thing, when they heard Hungary was leaving the room, they immediately ran away from the door, but not fast enough to not be seen.

Hungary: "Great. You guys heard all that."

Poland: "Hear what?"

Serbia: "Yeah, what-"
He opened the tap and it started spraying at him. He immediately closed it.

Bulgaria: "Yes. We did."

Poland: "Bulgaria, I think we need to adjust your honesty circuits."
And with that he threw a plunger on his face.

Hungary walked to the cockpit, angry.

When she got there, Teodora was trying to get the airship back in motion aswell. Hungary sat down on one of the seats.

Hungary: "Well, bad news. I can't fix it, the battery is shot."

Teodora: "We must find a way to recharge it."

Poland: "Um, what about me? Why don't I just give it the ole' zap-zap?"

Teodora: "The airship is powered by a high capacity carbon-ion battery. Linking you with it would be very dangerous."

Bulgaria: "Teodora is right, I was briefly attached to a similar contraption and it nearly proved fatal."

Poland: "Good reason. Moving on. Is there any other way to charge it?"

Teodora: "We need a large supply of energy."

Austria-Hungary: "What about the power source we've been tracking? How far away is that?"

Teodora: "Approximately 300 metres southeast of our position."

Poland: "That's pretty close!"

Bulgaria: "And Austria-Hungary is correct in theory. If we can locate the energy source, we should be able to tap into it with a portable battery, bring the unit back and recharge the airship."
