It's not like I built the whole thing myself. The fuel process was me, but...it was a lot of effort spanning back all the way up the roots of my family tree. My parents were working on it before me, and their parents before them...all to finish the thing.

There hasn't been any need for one since, but there's plenty of airships to maintain in the meantime, so at least I'm not totally useless.
