Chapter 1873 All Eyes On Baymard
Whoosh! The plane soon stabilized in the air, with many now seeing they were flying above the clouds in an open but beautiful space. "Mommy, is this what the Heavens look like?" A little girl commented, feeling it was all too beautiful. The clouds below them looked so fluffy, she wondered if they could be eaten. The girl's mother slowly took out a blanket from the plastic see-through wrap and covered the little girl with it. "Now, now, cover yourself up. It's a little chilly here." "Yes, mom." The little girl then snuggled up on her seat while stretching her head out like a giraffe. Many people also discovered that they could adjust the light above their seats, and some were more fascinated by the many booklets in the pouch space underneath the foldable table. And as the flight progressed, people grew calmer, as they were now finding themselves immersed in the new Blockbuster Movie called Ghostbusters that was playing on the screens. In Economy and Premium Economy where everyone used shared screens, you could find people watching Ghostbusters, Die Hard 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and so on. Many were shocked when they served snacks.
"Hello there, what would you like to have?" Ahh! The air hostesses moved with trolleys, giving out snacks and drinks of their choices. Time flew by swiftly once more, and then came mealtime. Wooow! Many were now versed with using the collapsible trays attached to the seats before them. They set everything up and ate with smiles. There were 4 main dishes they could choose from. All meals consisted of a well grounded balanced diet meal. There were fruits, eggs, bread, you name it. This flight was headed for Arcadina. So many also noticed that the meal was a Combo of Baymard and Arcadinian staple dishes. Unlike the cardboard taste of plane food one gets back on Earth due to the plane's pressurized atmosphere's effects on the taste buds, these ones were equally tasty. It seems Landon had worked hard to perfect the taste and deal with human reactions at high altitudes as much as he could. Of course, they could still get a tangy taste in their mouths, but it was way better compared to Earth's standards. .
Munch, munch, munch~
People chewed and drank beverages, enjoying themselves as best as they could. Parents could also purchase what they called a Kid pack, which was a collection of fund games and coloring books children could use while in the air. Those children in First Class and Business Class were the lens who enjoyed this feature the most. For them, the pack came free, and they also had more exclusive game choices and book choices too. Remember that unlike Economy and Premium economy who shared screens, they all had individual ones just for them. So yes! They could play games on the screens and not just with game boys/girls before them.
"Hahahahahahaha… Captain Jack Sparrow is at it again. I know he is supposed to be the bad guy here since he is a Pirate, but why am I rooting for him?" "(Giggle, giggle~)... Cinderella 3 is funny. I don't blame the King for thinking his son is deranged. Who would believe their son if he said his informants were talking mice? So the talking mice told you to leave the palace and rescue her and you believe it?" "Oops! This is too funny. The King said he forbids the Prince to take one step out the Palace stairs and the Prince jumps out the window instead? Well, technically, the prince hasn't disobeyed the King right?"
One by one, several people, especially those in First Class Cabins, got a real taste of Flying. The first Class Lounge, coupled with the shower and bathroom amenities jump made the whole thing too worthwhile. But what's this? On the Screens for First Class and Business Class, there was a simulated image showing the distance and how far they were? Wow! Many looked at the screen, estimating that showed that the Time in Baymard's Capital was 5 PM but the time on Arcadina's Capital was instead 2 PM. What? So… so Baymard's Capital was 3 hours behind Arcadina's Capital city? (0∆0)
Blink. Blink~
Many rubbed their eyes in disbelief. You have to know that although for them, knowing the time difference was not so important, since they felt it impossible to even make any time travel under a day.
.
It was important to note that they still used horses, wagons and carriages, traveling for months on land to get from point A to B. So although the time difference was important, what was its real importance if you only got to your destination months later? Sure, it was important, but after several months of day and night while traveling, who really cares? Baymard to Arcadina was 6 hours, 32 minutes. Remember that in the peak of Summer, it was estimated to be 6 hrs, 24 minutes.
Anyway, the flight is less than a day, so seeing the time difference this way for the first time was truly mind boggling. In Economy and Premium Economy, after every movie, the Flight Time, Estimated arrival time and so on would also show, also leaving several people gasping. Amazing! Amazing! Even the spies were truly blown away by all they saw. Several people frowned, feeling more and more that this sort of high speed technology should belong to their organizations rather than Baymard. Imagine how much faster transporting an army would be if they had such godly flying birds available to them? No! No! All this must belong to them! Several spies had cold faces while diligently inspecting and taking everything they saw all in.
They wanted to know what everything does and how these planes operated too.
Clenching their fists, they secretly swore to infiltrate the Lower Region and steal the manufacturing plans for these aircrafts.
In just one day, all guilds and organizations made this matter a top priority, offering boundless rewards for those who succeed in the end.
But with how difficult infiltrating Baymard has proven over the years, all they could say, was that: May the odds forever be in your favor!
