Bedrooms Ooh, look at that.... it's some sort of amusing dinosaur poster.
Hey! Hey!! What are you doing in here? This is Fresia's room... she'd destroy us both if she found out we were in here! There is something pretty cool in here, though.... hmm. I guess I could show you, but we'll have to be quick about it before she comes upstairs. Turn around and check out the other wall. Hurry!
Here, see, we're not even all the way in the room, and this is as far in as we'll go. Although Fresia had very little to do with the actual design on the ship, she was present during each one of our design team meetings due to the fact that she would be living on the vessel. For a few weeks, the design team had an issue deciding where to put two of our most potent and important chemical solutions; a strong acid and a strong base. I didn't want them in the lab or cargo bay due to the fact that heavy construction work generally takes place in both of those areas, and I didn't want to risk the possibility of their containers being subjected to accidental injury. I also didn't want them stored anywhere near the ship's water supply, and I additionally wanted them somewhere they could be easily visually monitored. While me and my fellow scientists argued about where to put the chemicals for a while at one of our meetings, Fresia suddenly stood up and slammed her fist on the table. She told us we could put the chemicals in her bedroom, provided the containers were turned into some sort of mood decoration. And so, those two columns there are the strong acid and strong base, artificially lit and encased in 2 inches of laboratory-grade glass. I still think Fresia is absolutely crazy for wanting those there, but she likes to live dangerously.
Well, now that you've seen Fresia's room, I guess there's no harm in seeing my room, too. It's doesn't have any acid or alkali in it though, so I can't say that it's going to be very exciting.
See? Not a whole lot going on in here. That giant mural on the left wall is an artist's depiction of Snowton, which is the town where I grew up. Of course I have the periodic table of elements memorized, but I find it soothing to have it nearby.
That's my computer. I keep telling it to just call me "Ted," but it won't listen. These computers feed off of Arcadia's wireless network, so practically any room in the airship has access to the internet. Don't tell Fresia about that poster, by the way... It was part of some promotion she did for the Empire and I managed to get ahold of one before they sold out. It's a collector's item! What? Of course that's the only reason I have it in my room... I want to protect its value, why else would it be here?
Okay, now let's get back to the official tour. Don't sneak off again, or I'll be forced to terminate the tour early. We're headed downstairs again and we're going to check out the cargo bay. |
