Ankbandian's bridge.
Hyuga Sho stood on the deck, looking down at the land from the sky.
I have to say, standing atop a Flying Fortress felt pretty great.
With this fortress,
the laboratory in the Underground Base could be moved entirely onto the Flying Fortress.
But before doing that,
there were still a few problems to solve.
1. Solve the problem of making Yagura's energy controllable and recyclable.

Or rather... they needed a promise to hold on to.
After all, his subordinates had worked hard for decades.
