[It’s a shaky feed and emitting a heavy panting from the man who’s holding said phone. There’s no shot of him however, but a dirty brown boot and green paratrooper pants. The video is then directed at the busy-looking little town of Lindblum. And he’s obviously far away for where he should be.]

That’s…. Lindblum, ain’t it? [Heavier breathing, as if talking that little bit wore him out. Then a coughing wheeze came over he and the speakers, the view swinging down to the ground to view shoes and a toppled over shadow.

A moment later, he’s back up, clearing his throat and throwing around profanities.
] Goddamn… P-O-S body... outta gil… no smokes… bullshit. All’a it. [He grumbles some more before turning around and looking around him; forest.]

Well. Hot damn. That looks like a nice a’nough tree … See ya guys in the mornin’!

[The feed cuts off there, shut off in his pocket.]

Yes. I am.

I'll state now that I am nothing like him outside of appearance. In fact, I'm the polar opposite.

His passion was science, mine is airships and piracy.

[He laughs lightly.]

Indeed. My own is likely the fastest on my world, and the finest at that.

She is not as advanced as those from certain worlds, but she's mine.

[Balthier pans the camera.]

I'm inside her. This is just the common room, of sorts. The engine room is the second best place aboard her.

Thank you. Her name is the Strahl.

[He makes his way through to the engine room and pulls open the cover to reveal the inner workings. Very clean and a shining gem in the middle. That's a sky stone!]

The heart is always the most beautiful part.

Indeed it is. That is a sky stone. They're only present on my world, and this one is modified to allow passage over airspace that was once Jagd... ah, that is impossible to fly through.

[He can't help smirking. This has actually cheered him up since his dad was mauled by a certain "demon". Balthier heads off to the cockpit to show off the controls.]

And this is the control panel. Complicated but easy enough once you learn to listen to what she needs.

Mostly, yes. [He chuckles lightly.]

It is my partner who uses that half.

[He pans to show Fran's side of things, which consist of dials and gagues for monitoring the ship. He then returns the camera to show the steering device. Not so much a wheel but more like bike handles that are vertical. Like a fighter plane.]

It's rather an odd design, but I knew the original designer and he was an equally odd fellow. It's a damn good job I liberated her those eight years ago.

Indeed. She was a prototype war ship, but was due for scrapping for being too expensive to mass produce.

One of a kind, and improved by yours truly.

It's particularly nice to know no one else has the same airship. [So. Many. Bonding. Moments.]
