Thanks from the Air

I, Anthony Alexios Basrid along with my copilot Valeria vas Ruthern would like to report a successful first aeronautic flight above providence at a height of three hundred meters on the 6th of Sigismund’s End, 1803.

 

 

The balloon was launched in optimal conditions, with little wind and no clouds, and remained in the air for about half a day before successfully landing on its launching platform (albeit a bit off-center). While in the air, we have managed to gather a few measurements such as wind direction and temperature, among others. 

 

 

Special thanks are due to the individuals listed below for their continued support of our project:

The Emperor (@Hunwald): For five hundred cubic meters of silk, and three hundred feet of rope.
The Arch Chancellor (@Nectorist): For his letter showcasing his faith in our abilities as well as granting us access to build on palace grounds.
The Secretary of the Treasury (@EmbryoGod): For delivering the silks and ropes in a timely fashion
Rosetta d’Amato (@Itz_Cookie): For weaving the basket on which we stood.
Vespira d’Arkent (@PrincessSnowie): For double-checking the servant’s sewing on the envelope. 

Charles d'Arkent & Anna Pruvia-Provins (@Sporan& @libertyybelle) : For allowing us to use the palace grounds.
The Basrid Family (@Ivorey@KBR@Dyl@Axelu): For continued support of our drive towards the sciences.
And Many Others!

 

We hope to soon partake on a flight to Haelun'or but until then,

Onwards and Upwards, 

Anthony Alexios Basrid & Valeria vas Ruthern.

"They're trying to reach GOD?!" the High Pontiff would sound outraged "They have no business going up there to visit him! Humans belong on the ground. Bah! Heresy!"

“Hm, maybe they are some Valah who are intelligent and ambitious, sometime I need to have a small chat with this interesting gentleman. I do really need to change this ‘rude’ mindset huh.” Alyssa Seregon said in the NGS museum’s mini-bar while drinking her morning tea, seemingly very entertained by the event which had occurred. The mali’aheral reading all which was on the paper, all them juicy details.

"By GOD, he's done it." Charles Augustus would remark as he watched the contraption take flight high above Augustine. "The boy's done it!"

"How utterly incredible!" Victoria Anne d'Arkent remarked as she heard of the news that had been rapidly spreading around the capital city of Providence. "And two children?" She recalled her plethora of science experiments of her youth, before shaking her head in astonishment. "And to think...I never imagined flight could be possible."

"Impressive, but they should focus on more earthly matters rather than trying to reach the heavens above" Francisco would remark after hearing of the news of this accomplishment.

"Amazing, never thought we'd come this far but due to people like them, I guess we have." Carlos remarks after hearing of the flight
