All systems nominal

Post by Jacobus Loki »

"Pressurization in the 98% percentile."

"All power to onboard systems."

"Communications go."

"Ignition in 5......4........3........2.........1..."

"We have ignition."

"We have liftoff."

The hills south of Novi Nigrad echoed to the vibration of a tongue of orange fire tipped by a slender piece of metal. Once an ICBM,
it had been converted to a peaceful use, a science not fully realized since the dawn of the sector. The flame continued to soar, now mounted on a pillar of cloud.

"We interrupt this episode of "Where are Your Pants?" for a live bulletin. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Ducal-Baron of Yardistan:"

"Good evening to my fellow Yardistanis and Shirithians everywhere. Tonight we have taken a step long awaited.

"Thousands of years ago, there was a conflict on an island nation. The freedom loving people controlled the southern portion
of the island, while ruthless oppressors controlled the rest. Most of the energy-generating infrastructure lay under the domination of the
oppressors.

"A brilliant scientist in the south realized that oppression gave off a frequency effect that had been know as 'bad vibes'. Far from being only a psychological effect, he found a way to measure it. A colleague converted this into simple electricity.

"They mounted collectors on the tops of the mountains overlooking the enslaved regions, and were able to power there industries
by the emotional effluvium of their rivals.

"For eons this was thought to be only a legend, but Dr. Fridish Lochami and his research team confirmed its reality.

"Tonight we have launched NETTstar 1, an orbital satellite based on that ancient technology. Power will be transmitted as wide focus beam of microwaves to a receiving station west of here.

"When completed by the launch of more NETTstars, we may very well usher in the era of virtually free power.

"All hail the Kaiser and the Grand Duke! May the gods smile on Shireroth!"

We now return you to your regular program.
