Component name: Void Warp Dino-Drive

So I was out doing the SkyPirate thing when I noticed the Void Ark flying around. I thought to myself it seems to not need balloons to be powered, it just flies. As my usual adventures go I just go in and destroy the stuff inside, when it starts going crazy with monsters. At which I notice it drops parts off as it sends stuff to other realms. I chased after the dropped components into the void

Then it sends me to a period back in time where I have to fight the early masters of our planet to fashion a power core. It needs a heart of a dinosaur to power it as it runs on the spirit energy of enormous monsters.

I then was fortune enough to find a Moogle princess to send us back through the void as they are magic beings. And there you have it, how I have the most amazing piece of speed in the sky that totally makes all the guys jealous.

It was a quiet, sunny afternoon outside the study window when the help first arrived with our most challenging commission yet: An organization known as 'Community Team' was in need of airship enhancements which would aid in the effective execution of their mission. Details beyond that were sparse; it seemed they were in need of inspiration, as much as fabrication. Just as well - any outfit could pound rivets and shape mythril. 'Community Team' had clearly come to us for our realm-renowned ability to produce novel solutions to practical problems.

After considerable research - and more than a few long nights in the Free Company think tank (literally a tank of sorts; we do our best thinking in the tub) - we concluded that effective and efficient communication is vital to 'Community Team' operations. So it was that our commission found us in Azys Lla, reverse-engineering the ancient audio-transmission technologies of the Allegan Empire, which we soon discovered played a key roll in the force-fields protecting the zone. Here, one of our research craft can be seen receiving short-wave signals from an array of the massive sonic resonators that reinforce the shield.

It is difficult to say whether gaining an understanding of the tech we were working with was the greater challenge, or if adapting it to our purpose holds that distinction. For integration aboard an airship, the equipment had to be considerably reduced in both volume and weight. Fortunately, given that the device is only intended to transmit information remotely - and not to power a barrier which surrounds a sizable airborne atoll - we were eventually able to compress it into a much more mobile form, seen here, already installed aboard a luxurious airborne yacht;
