Scientists excitedly move about the control room, taking their seats at various consoles. To one wall sits a giant window, which takes up most of the wall and overlooks an enormous testing chamber. At the center of this chamber sits what looks to be a jet engine -- except theres no spot for an air intake. Above the window is a large monitor with a diagram of the engine, and various sensor readouts alongside it. At a glance it seems to be a series of magnetic coils, each set on actuators. various coolant and energy delivery systems weave through the device. to one end is a large torroidal metal mechanism, with a dozen or so nozzels attached to the end that points through the device.
"Start go, no go procedure." The lead scientist says, and immediately calls ring out across the room. Coolant, magnetic confinement, power, and on. before long all systems are cleared as go. "Begin test". Silence blankets the room, and the test chamber beyond. It started with a slight whine, which built in pitch and intensity over the course of mere fractions of a second. In the next instant the open end of the device erupts in a brilliant stream of energy, spewing out thrust rivalled only by rocket engines. What seemed like an eternity passed before the new engine was cut off. Anacodia would have its new engine, and with it great things would be done.
Project Tarathiel is a major success.
