"Don't worry, even without wings we can all fly."
"If I have wings, why am I always walking?"
—Dreadlord, Warcraft III
A gravity-vacuum tube shot them across to the mainland, where the robot at the parking stack selected a sleek turbine-powered speedster with automatic gear-shifting device, internal climate control and car radiophone. For some reason it also had airscoops, gullwing doors and numerous tailfins — perhaps for emergency flight in case they fell off a skybridge.
History tells of insects soaring the sky, covering great distances. Nowadays, only the bees, wasps and a few lesser species seem to retain that privilege. Even so, most bugs continue to possess wings. Day to day life doesn't quite need flight, so perhaps we as a collective have evolved past it. Could it be, that one day bees will not flap their wings any longer?
