1. One way trip on an Airship
| A bird is flying in the sky. Thru the clouds it can be seen changing colors, at times black, at times gray, or white then suddenly at high altitude, the bird lights on a wire. |

| This wire is part of the numerous cables forming the structure of an airship. An aircraft sturdily built, composed of several huge black watermelon shaped gas balloons, and with the nacelle resembling a steamship more than anything else, because it is armor-plated and leaves a grayish smoke trail as it passes by. On
the side of the massive craft, can be read : At the back, can be seen, floating in the wind, a black standard having a 10 branched silver star in its center, shining as a sun being born in the night. If as this bird we could look closer, we would see thru the portholes a world of its own. First the machinists employed by the Production Ministry (named here Earth) to do the maintenance and be sure that the craft is functioning correctly. In the control room, we would see officers part of the Security Ministry (Fire) assuring that the trip is going on as planned . We could also discover surprisingly odd rooms as the show-bar registered at the Entertainment Ministry (Water). Or simply the library held by a member of the Education Ministry (Air). |
