Quincy's Airship Emporium

Located at Survey the Rooftops of Downtown.

"Hoo-doggies, it's windy up here!" says a bountifully mustachioed man as you approach. He has to repeatedly grab hold of his oversized Texas-style hat, which the stiff breeze keeps trying to blow off his head. "My name's Quincy P. M. Scoresby, and this here is my airship brigade. I'd be mighty pleased to rent y'all one of my airships for the day, as long as y'all have a pilot's certification."

Without Passable Pilot:

Another gust of wind nearly knocks his hat off yet again as he holds out his hand for your pilot's license. "You got no training? Aww, shucks. I'd love to rent ya one of these here vehicles, but my insurance won't cover untrained pilots. I hear there's a virtual trainin' school downtown where you can pick up some lessons easy if you need to."

With Passable Pilot:

Another gust of wind nearly knocks his hat off yet again as he holds out his hand for your pilot's license. "All right! That certification looks gen-yoo-wine to me! Which one of these puppies would you like to rent?"

With a Quincy's rental coupon in inventory:

You also mention that you picked up a coupon for Quincy's services. He inspects the coupon and says, "I see you got one of my coupons! We'll take you up in my personal plane and let you jump out! I'll even throw in a free parachute! Yee-haw!"

Redeem the Coupon

Redeeming the coupon gives the result:

Against your better judgment, you hand over the coupon and accept Quincy's offer. It's not the stupidest thing you've ever done, but it probably ranks right up there.

Soon, you're flying over the middle of the desert, the wind whipping at your face as you look out the open door of the airplane. You try to tell Quincy that you've changed your mind, but he just laughs and claps you on the back. Firmly. So firmly that you're pushed out of the plane.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

After screaming your head off, you remember that you're going to be the world's flattest hero if you don't use the parachute. After a few tense moments trying to find the ripcord, you give it a firm tug. Luckily, a shower of silverware doesn't fly out.

Soon you notice that you're actually right over the Military Base of the Unborn. What a lucky bit of serendipity! A few minor adjustments to your course, and end up landing on the roof of the base. Good thing, too. It looks like there's a live-fire exercise going on out there.

Using your heroic ingenuity, you turn your parachute into a makeshift rope and climb down from the roof, landing in front of what looks like a loading dock. Well, that's pretty handy. You could just walk right in to the base if you wanted!
