*Luana picks up the pillow and chucks it at Luke, obviously trying not to laugh.*
Care to try that again?

*Luke laughs and ducks the pillow.* *puts up his hands* Whoa, no need to get violent. I mean, you can work it off if you really want.

*A drink hadn't been what Luke was referring to. But it's really all for the best. Luana's like 16, and K's all over it, so.... Luke with a laughing sigh, shakes his head, looks up and says.* You can get me some Gatorade.
*comments* Without a flying object, please.

*Luana grabs a Gatorade, not really paying attention to what color it is, and carries it over to Luke. She holds it out for him to take.* Eight, now.

You're welcome. *Luana picks her pillow up off the floor and retrieves her juice from the bar. As she walks she thinks, Flying object...* Oh, wow! I just remembered what I was doing when I faded in.

*leans against the table* You were bringing a brilliant college student some Gatorade?

*She takes a drink of her juice.* No. I was working on Daedalus 2's rockets with a friend of mine. *She takes a seat across from Luke.* Have I told you about Daedalus?

*...Rockets?*
*Luke stops drinking his Gatorade.* Not at all. What is it?

*Luana smiles. She loves telling people about her projects, and Daedalus is her best.* Daedalus 1 was our fist successful flyer. No engines on it or anything. Just wheels for when it's on the ground. We launched it off this ramp that took forever for us to agree on, let alone build. It can glide on for a long time, and we don't need a running start or any mountains!
*She is obviously proud of her accomplishment. It can be heard in her voice. The pride fades a little when she goes on.*
We realized we had a problem though when Andy had to bring it back to the launch site. The flyer might be protable, but the ramp sure isn't.
*She realizes that she's talking a lot, and pauses to take a drink.*

*Luke listens. She lights up like the 4th of July when she talks about it.*
*squints, making sure he's hearing what he thinks he's hearing* Let me get this straight....You build rockets?

Well, Andy and Sam do most- okay, all- of the actually building, I just design the stuff, but, um, yeah. *She grins* We're going to put vertical launch rockets on Daedalus 2.
*She takes another drink.*

*nods* Yeah. I get together with the gang on weekends and we argue about how to improve our flyers. In this case, we added rockets.
