Interlude: Flight Suit

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I was back at the space center after a bit of flying. Now I just had to get to my junkyard to retrieve my suit after testing. When I got there and got my suit back, I put it on immediately, just to stop the hassle of carrying it to the space center with my hooves, which aren't very easy to carry things with. Sometimes, I just wish I was a unicorn.

The flight suit now felt just as comfortable as the last one, maybe more comfortable because of the wing compartments letting me move my wings. I then started to fly, and it actually worked. Now I could fly with the suit on, and not be earthbound like the earth ponies would. It took a bit of time to get used to flying, but once I got used to it, I was just as good with flying when I didn't have it on.

I then tested the suit, turning on the illuminators, which were basically torches. They worked very well, creating a strong beam of light. The gizmo also worked well, and the test chamber said that the flight suit would protect me from the same level of pressure, at 200 pascals.

I liked the modified suit, gearing it up a little bit with flat graphene batteries that I found in the junkyard. They fit perfectly on my hind legs and they were flexible, meaning that they could bend. They also proved to be pretty durable, with an estimated 12 hours on battery with the flashlight on and the gizmo running. The batteries also charged extremely fast.

I then flew from my junkyard to the space center, going in the astronaut complex. Starry Night greeted me and asked about my newly modified suit, 'Is that a flashlight and a screen on your flight suit?'

'Yep, that's a built-in flashlight and that's a gizmo, at least that's its name for now.'
