The Best for the Best

A gruesome and moderately unsettling smile was across the Doctor's face, disappearing for a moment as he sipped his tea. "We didn't stop working until we were done with our goals. Here, take a look for yourself." Using a small emitter, a clear image of the vessel in its current state was revealed. The emitter panned various schematic views with small numbers and statistics also available. "This is what I believe is the culmination of our abilities. When focused on research, it doesn't take long to deliver, however, a project of this nature, that required so many disciplines is entirely monstrous for a group such as ours." Revealing a display of engine testing, a beautiful cone of pure power forced the vessel to shake tremendously in its test cradle. As the vessel clearly attempted maximum capabilities, the engines roared, the air crackling under the tremendous force; the numbers finally being revealed. "Weighing approximately seventeen thousand kilograms, and all engines collectively producing seventy-four thousand kilograms of thrust, it is possible to achieve a cruise speed of four hundred twenty-five meters per second in low pressure conditions... Though your atmospheric safe speed would be around three hundred meters per second, so don't go too crazy." Turning off the diagnostic footage, James turned toward the window, looking out at the commotion in the city. "I'm sure you're eager to see it closer, so why don't we take a walk?" Walking toward the door, the Doctor opened it, welcoming his guest to join him at the hangar where the prototype rested.
