Well Gamona's two girlfriends Amonda and Manoda wanted to go to a Hu Man slave
auction the next day
but this being a 1933 AD world they weren't going to be getting
there in
Amonda's beat up
Model A Ford.That faster automobile and better
road was probably still
decades away.
They knew however that their mutual
friend Damona held
her Pilots Licence
for single engine aeroplanes
and being the daughter
of Wilbur Drake
knew Damona would have no problem scrounging up a
aeroplane from
Drake Airways if she said
it was on "Company business"
So Amonda and Manoda checked on their available cash and
figured they could afford to buy
two Hu Man slaves unless the Hu Man rebel criminals had blown up the rail lines again.
Wilbur Drake,not wanting a spoiled useless daughter
was pretty tight on giving his 15 year old daughter
money
but had no problems letting her borrow the various aeroplanes,tools
and stuff that
would one day make Damona better suited to running
one of the many Drake businesses that were
out there.
So the two girls picked up Damona in that backfiring wheezing Model A
and headed to the nearst Drake Airways facility
where Damona showed her ID to the attendant on duty
and asked for a single aeroplane to use
for
"Company Business"
By now the attendant had wised up to the fact
that "Company Business" used to mean
transporting illegal booze
for Snoutface Capone.
However after carefully making sure that was not the three
girls intentions
the attendant asked further and learned
that Company business meant purchasing two Hu Man slaves
for Amonda and Manoda.
Well it just so happened that the two Hu Man male slaves Drake Airways used to load
paggage aboard its Panama Clippers had
run away to join the
criminal Hu Man rebels.
So the arrival of the three dragonesses was
excellent timing
and the attendant gave Damona a letter authorizing her to
purchase two male Hu Man slaves on the Company Account for
$200 apiece
Then he led then to a hangar where a single engine ten seater 1932 Drake Aeronaughtika
aeroplane sat in the building.
He gave Damona the keys to the doors and the plane,then went
back to the airport terminal.
Damona unlocked the huge sliding front doors
and there
sat the big black and yellow
Aernaughtika Martin,its motor silent but its
tanks fuelled.
With the help of her two girlfriends Damona rolled the plane
out of the hangar,picked up the
Aviation Charts she'd need
got in her flight suit and did the pre-flight check of the aerilons,rudder
wheels etc.
Then she locked the hangar doors again and she
and the other two dragoness'es climbed aboard the roomy Aeronaughtika '
Damona was about to tell her girlfriends about her weird dream of once
being a Hu Man male
then snapped her snout shut.
She was after all about to fly a aeroplane crosscountry and it might
not be seen to be a
crazy pilot.
The other two girls lifes depended on
Damona's being of sound mind after
all
for flying this
machine.
