Nova Roma Chapter 148 - Arrival with style to the defense line

Taneri was in her office wearing a black suit while punishing his stupid assistant with a whip after he threw on a sample of fresh rubber an apple cider vinegar and make the rubber coagulate.
"Stupid Quirino you know that this was the only sample that had fresh rubber available for today and you destroyed it"
Quirino who was with a smile on the floor enjoying the blows of Taneri "Sorry Master, punish this humble servant with all the harshness of the law."
Taneri blushed and kept hitting Quirino "Idiot don't tell me Master when we're working, wait for the house."
At that moment Quetzalcóatl and Flavio entered the office and saw the funny scene of lovers "Taneri understand that you like being sadistic and Quirino understand that you like being submissive, but we have a special situation on the border where I need you.
Of course, if you help me I will give you some tools that will help you improve your BDSM, there are two suits made with experimental latex, I keep trying to make the texture more comfortable to the touch. "
Quetzalcoatl looked at Flavio with disappointment "Let me guess it's Hellena's thing"
Flavio scratched his head and nodded, Quetzalcoatl sighed. "Flavio began to believe that you are occupying the excuse that Hellena wants, for you get your dirty perversities to your wife and your companion women.
But it is not my duty to correct you, you Greek gods have very rare tastes. "
Flavio looked at Quetzalcoatl "Don't remind me of the prickly pear cactus, or the use of xoconostle ..."
Quetzalcoatl lowered his head and also hand Flavio to stop "You don't want to talk about it with our guests in the presence of guests."
Flavio laughed "Very well, when you say Taneri we can leave, today we will travel in style to the border, a little more than a month ago I gave Admes the plans for a glider and despite being busy at the Coatzacoalcos shipyard I am informed I just finished the glider.
Who wants to fly through the sky as if it were a bird. "
None of those present had much joy to fly, not even the intrepid Taneri dared to volunteer before the negative Flavio could only lower his head "Very well a bored carriage will take you to zone B of the defense line where it is Amancio
I will see you in the place since I will arrive before you have it for sure. "
Quetzalcoatl and Taneri saw Flavio leave, Quirino was too tired to get up or pay attention to what the emperor said, while Flavio went to the makeshift airport which was just a cement board that was 1 kilometer in size.
On one side of the track, there was a tower that had a cloth cone on top to know the direction of the wind, in the middle of the track a rather rustic glider was contracted and made with fabric and wood.
In the place were 5 large birds which were nahual messengers who had harnesses tied in their stomachs, these harnesses were special since they had a cable that reached the glider, Admes was also waiting next.
When Flavio approached, Admes met and gave him a good handshake. "What a glider you made with wood and cloth."
Admes laughed. "I wish it was only wood and cloth, but it also uses aluminum for important joints, it takes more than a week with scale models to find a correct formula for falling distance.
In theory, this beauty should glide at a ratio of 1/50 for every meter that descends should travel 50 meters, for the materials can not go more than 1000 meters above for the atmospheric difference and power of the air currents.
But I am sure that you will be careful emperor, all the data you get will be of great help to be able to improve the prototype, if we can reach a better fall-by-advance ratio we will have the most advanced technology in hand to be able to deliver supplies to the distant troops that the Nahual messengers cannot carry.
To prevent the prototype from being damaged, three rubber tires were placed two on the sides and one on the tail for an unbalanced landing.
Please accompany me, Emperor, I will show you the glider controls. "
Flavio accompanied Admes, the glider and showed the archaic but functional controls "The controls work using pulleys and hemp rope, the controls you suggested with gears are very complicated to perform.
But these controls will allow you to work, the crank will act on which side you want to turn, the glider has three ailerons two on the wings and one on the tail.
You also have the braking lever which will allow you to reduce wind resistance when you are going down so your speed will be reduced, the ailerons are made of aluminum sheets since the wood did not give me confidence and the steel is very heavy.
The lever on the left will release the harness of the nahuales messengers, they will tell you when to release them making noises and moving the head from top to bottom, I hope, remember not to go higher on the flight because otherwise the glider could be disassembled and lost its aerodynamics
I know you are a God and you don't care if you fall more than a thousand meters but the glider is a very important emperor, you need me to explain something again. "
Flavio shook his head "I think I understood, but what do you recommend me to do if I find an updraft?"
Admes drew a smile on his face "Nahual messengers will accompany you on your trip so they will set the height.
The ascending currents will allow you to raise your height for this you will have to turn them in circulation and push the lever towards you so that you go up, while you do not pass the guide of the nahuales the device will be fine.
Before leaving for being a prototype I did not have time to make the cabin so you will have to wear these glasses, leather gloves and this leather cap with cotton padding so you do not lose heart, there is also a sheep wool jacket covered by tinted Mayan blue leather. "
One of the assistants arrived and gave Flavio the necessary accessories and clothing. It would be the first time he glides on a glider, something surprising considering that his death was caused by an airplane.
Flavio sighed and climbed into the archaic cabin to control the glider, thanks to the Nahuales taking care of and guiding the trip there is no danger in getting lost or ending up in an unknown area.
Although it does not matter because in the end there is nothing that with their bones and swords of divine energy can not fix, the Nahual messengers with their harnesses and their bird forms took distance to begin their coordinated flight.
Flavio felt the Nahuals pushing the glider so that they could fly correctly the Nahual messengers were in the shape of a triangle so that they could have better aerodynamics on takeoff.
Little by little the glider was gaining height, and Flavio was surprised by the views of the city of Origin Civitatem, the cold of the air that hit his face kept him awake and curious about the surroundings.

Once he reached the height the Nahuals gave him the instructions to release the harnesses, Flavio nodded and pulled the lever to release the harnesses and then took control of the glider with the lever.
Flavio followed the Nahuales as he slowly descended in height until he could feel that the glider was entering a stream of thermal air (Ascending), using his knowledge with the explanation of Admes began to circle the current to gain height.
It was quite comfortable to turn in the air to raise the height only that Flavio felt a little dizzy from the turns he took when he gained height he left the updraft and followed the Nahuales.
The trip was extremely comfortable, while on the ground where the glider passed, people wondered what it was that could be that gigantic bird that seemed to guide the Nahuales.
When Flavio finally reached zone B of the deep defensive line, he prepared to descend, he wanted to do it, but he knew that the glider's frame would be destroyed because he would not withstand the speed generated by his descent.
To descend he made circles while losing height, the Nahual messengers guided him while on land Amancio prepared an improvised grass field so that the glider could land.
When the glider was placed ready to land, Flavio pulled the lever so that the wings of the two wings function as air brakes and began to reduce the speed of the glider, little by little the glider was going down until it made contact with the grass and ground of the land.
Dirt began to fill the tire mechanism and this caused the glider to lose traction so the tires broke and the glider crawled on the ground for a few meters.
The soldiers ran to help the emperor, but Flavio got off the aircraft and took off his hat and glasses, then took off his gloves and threw them into the glider cabin. "It was a bad idea to land on the ground but in general it works very well, we will have to build some concrete tracks to avoid situations like this. "
Amancio and Hanovi were surprised by the arrival of such an apparatus, Amancio approached the emperor "His highness that is that thing where he arrived if it was not for the Nahual messengers I would think it was a large bird."
Flavio smiled and slaps the fuselage of glider "This beauty is a glider, we have to make some improvements in the design of the wing and build some concrete tracks but it will allow transport resources that cannot be delivered from the ground to the troops in danger zones.
By the way, you have permission to prepare a punitive expedition against the bandits, you also have the mission of finding any kind of nahual, its strategic value has doubled. "
Flavio turned around and saw a guy wearing an unbroken leather clothing that had a blue owl on his shoulder that was transparent. "You must be Hanovi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Emperor Flavio, but you can call me Flavio alone.
Why don't we take a seat, by the way, Amancio orders the glider to be taken back to Admes, I will give him my report later ... "
