Workshop Chronicle week 15: The Flying Thing
Several weeks before the start of the boating season.
| A partially assembled drone appears on the workbench. | Silence. | Everyone stares. |
| Lil Red:”What is that?” | Mr. Green:”Week three.” | Proto White:”Of what?” |
| Mr. Green:”The drone project.” | Miss Violet:“Week four, actually.” | Lil Red:”It’s still here?” |
| Big Blue:“It’s growing.” | Proto White:”Can projects do that?” | The Frame:“They can in this workshop.” |
| Another box of drone parts appears the following weekend. | Lil Red:”Oh come on.” | Mr. Green:”Week five.” |
| Yellow Jacket:”Has anyone seen the boats lately?” | Miss Violet:“We are the boats.” | Yellow Jacket:”You know what I mean.” |
| The drone gains motors. | Proto White:”That seems excessive.” | Big Blue:“It has four.” |
| Lil Red:”I still don’t have one.” | Mr. Green:”Correct.” | Lil Red:”Just checking.” |
| Another weekend passes. | The drone gains electronics. | Another box arrives. |
| Yellow Jacket:”Boating season starts soon.” | Big Blue:“He knows.” | Yellow Jacket:”Does he?” |
| Mr. Green:”Evidence is inconclusive.” | Miss Violet:“The lake has not seen us in months.” | Proto White:”Maybe we’re a drone club now.” |
| Long silence. | Lil Red:”Don’t say that.” | Big Blue:“Don’t even joke about that.” |
| The Boss finally places a finished FPV drone on the bench. | Everyone stares. | More silence. |
| Proto White:”So it flies?” | Mr. Green:”That appears to be the objective.” | Lil Red:”And now?” |
| Big Blue:“Now we wait.” | Yellow Jacket:”For what?” | Big Blue:“The first crash.” |
