30th Browning 42AC
The framework of the spacedock Eyria was loaded onto a Anchor 12S-C; great lumbering rods of steel and duralumin twisted and formed into the curves and intricate shapes that upheld the Acrobian architectural movement that had flourished so quickly in Random Kingdom. Gone were the tall spires and glassy penthouses of the Vertian design, and so was the cost for such designs. The plane took to the skies with its familiar sonicboom and headed for the launching field. Below, the first spacefarer was waiting on the CTOL runway, and the airplane made a sharp bank for the supply strip. It landed with a bump and a loud whine, and the supply crane quickly attached itself to the exposed back of the plane, extracting the large package inside. This package was unwrapped by the robot, which contained four separate crates, two of which were stored in a nearby hangar. The other two were dropped onto separate conveyors, one carrying one crate high into the top cargo deck, another dumping the other onto the bottom deck. The system moved backwards and the doors of the cargo hold sealed. The crew inside strapped themselves into their gyroscopic seats and prepared for liftoff.
