Securing a Deal

April 26th, 893.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon and there was a huge crowd forming along the barricades.

The congregation drew more passersby, among them were two brothers who were in their twenties. 

"Why are people here?" One of the brothers asked.

"A company named Axelsen and Nielsen Corporation have something to demonstrate for us," said one of the crowd before squeezing through the crowds, making his way to the front.

The person who asked tilted his head to the side and wondered what demonstration was going to be performed. Curious, he tiptoed and from over yonder, he saw a paved land that goes for about five hundred or seven hundred meters.

"Orville—look!" said the other brother who shook his shoulder as he pointed his other hand at the end of the paved road. There they saw an odd-looking contraption, made out of metal with propellers in front and a fixed wing on either side.
