Stealth Phrygian<\/em> slowly weaved its way down the canopy.\u00a0 In an effort to keep the city hidden, the inhabitants of Sanity kept the larger trees alive.\u00a0 They built the city around and through the trees to ensure the jungle canopy above the city would be no different than any other patch of trees.\u00a0 As a result they had to create their own light sources.\u00a0 At least they would not be found by a wandering pilot.<\/p>\n

The large arrowhead of a ship had to dip, twist, and spin to traverse the thick branches safely.\u00a0 From time to time, the pilots spotted a defensive turret in the trees.\u00a0 The team was expected so they had nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

Only the pilots fully experienced the decent through the maze of branches and vines.\u00a0 Strapped to their chairs for protection, April and Jai felt the full force of natural gravity and used the ship\u2019s mechanical limbs to push the smaller limbs apart.\u00a0 They had to be careful not to damage the canopy too much as they descended.<\/p>\n

Passengers didn\u2019t feel any of the complicated maneuvering thanks to the regional artificial gravity throughout the ship.\u00a0 They walked, ate, and carried on unhindered as the ship tipped and maneuvered.\u00a0 Things were no different for them even when the ship was flipped upside-down.<\/p>\n

The gravity technology was based on Mech Fortress research.\u00a0 Keyanna was proud to tell AD7 about the huge leaps in technology that came after researching the Mech Fortress devices.\u00a0 Several of the gadgets were unheard of in AD7\u2019s time.\u00a0 Naturally, AD7 wanted to know more and asked questions repeatedly.<\/p>\n

AD7 and Keyanna traversed the ship along with Tirzah towards the exit ramp.\u00a0 Seeing that they were getting along, Tirzah had orders that she knew Keyanna would like, \u201cKeyanna, AD7 is new to this time and place.\u00a0 Show her the sights will you.\u00a0 Get her geared up and ready to fight with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keyanna was ecstatic at the thought, \u201cReally!\u00a0 Yes ma\u2019am.\u201d\u00a0 She saluted and looked over at AD7 who didn\u2019t have any complaints about joining her for a trip around the city.<\/p>\n

They kept a good pace through the ship.\u00a0 Everything was fine until they passed a window.\u00a0 AD7 rushed to it hoping to see if the gravity technology was real.\u00a0 She had only dreamed of such a thing.\u00a0 Her feet were planted firmly on the floor yet the view out of the side window showed the city below them and spinning branches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, this is so coo\u2026,\u201d AD7 was amazed for the brief moment she could stand.\u00a0 The visualized but unfelt motion overloaded her balance.\u00a0 It took only a short while before she fell to the floor completely dizzy.<\/p>\n

Keyanna thought to warn her, but it happened so quickly.\u00a0 Seeing that she was otherwise unharmed, Keyanna walked over to help her up.\u00a0 \u201cSorry,\u201d Keyanna giggled, \u201cI forgot to tell say \u2018It makes you dizzy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Tirzah witnessed the events well away from the window.\u00a0 \u201cNo worries,\u201d she commented, \u201cI fell a few times too.\u00a0 Just stay away from the windows and you won\u2019t get airsick.\u201d<\/p>\n

She and Keyanna helped AD7 up. \u00a0The two had to help AD7 to walk the rest of the way while AD7 regained her balance.\u00a0 The three ladies made their way to the exit ramp where they met the rest of the passengers.<\/p>\n

Before long, the pilots made the announcement.\u00a0 Stealth Phrygian<\/em> had made the final flip through the canopy and was free to land in the hanger.<\/p>\n

Soon after, the doors opened.\u00a0 While most of GarDNAnge1 left, AD7 and Cyd lingered behind looking at the wondrous city.<\/p>\n
