I am just here for a quick stop before continuing my journey to Stormcharm Keep. Thank for the offer. I may offer though a place in this airship to come to the wonders of the floating citidal of Stormcharm Keep.
I’m a lumberjack and I’m ok. I sleep all night and work all day.

All right then! Step this way, and I'll fire her up.

Nice doors.

How... uhh... how fast can it go? 200 km/h?
Detective Extroadinaire
Yes, well, earlier I had said Mach 5, but I think I had misquoted that amount. To get down to Earth in a reasonable amount of time we would have to go at...Mach 175.
That seems a little excessive, but I have constructed it with artificial gravity wells so that passengers are not crushed to death by sheer G-force.
Still with me?

59 km/s?!

How far down is Earth?!
Detective Extroadinaire
...A hundred thousand feet?
Yes, I did the math on this one. If Earth was 100,000 feet down then to get there in less than an hour we'd have to go at Mach 175, getting there in about 45 minutes

30.48 km?!
Wow.
That's instantanous!

You know, we can always test that. All i need is a camera. My plan is to first weigh the camera to find out its weight, then drop it from the edge. Then, calculating how long it takes for the camera to hit the ground, including factors like air resistance, gravity and such, we can calculate exactly how far away the ground is ^_^.

Well, considering the average camera masses about 100 grammes, and the Earth is 30.48 km below us, I have no clue what that helps.
Detective Extroadinaire
Indeed. And to think, some called me mad for wanting to put rockets on an elevator. Well I call them Doubting Thomases!
Now let's go! We're burning plutonium fuel here! That's stuff's not cheap you know.

It's still fun though. Well, except for the guy standing on the spot where the camera hits the ground, that is >_>. - throws a camera off the edge just for kicks-

Okay.
Can we stop by a grocery store on the way?

I still think this is a bad idea... -steps into the elevator of certain doom.-

All right then. Everybody strapped in? Good!
Now, you'll feel a biiiiit of a tug upwards when I release the locks. Nothing to worry about, the gravity wells are automatic but not instantaneous.

If you look through the downward window, you'll see Earth hurtling towards us at over a hundred thousand Miles per Hour.

-some time later- Uhm... What is that tiny reddish circle right below us that keeps getting bigger? -points at said circle, which seems to be surrounded by a mountain of sorts-

It's not a grocery store.
Yo, I wanna!
