Only partly visible in the background: A "pilot" variant of the ToyCo logo!
(There is a hard to describe design aesthetic associated with airlines that I always liked...)
I am sure everyone has seen that old cliche a dozen times in TV and movies: Some guy has a rather bad break-up with his girl, and the next scene shows him having guard duty at some fort in the middle of the desert, as member of the French Foreign Legion...
(According to Wikipedia though, Tarik is mistaken in the assumption that the Foreign Legion is indeed exclusively for non-French citizens.)
Poor Babette... because nobody wants to fly with her airship anymore, or because her ex-boyfriend took the break-up so badly that he left the country?
(And Sören is extremely lucky that strolling into an airport with a friggin' harpoon didn't result in him getting hunted down by a SWAT team or something...)
Tarik is many things, but not particularly a Don Juan... :-D
And of course I like Wildebees too. :-)
BTW, in this chapter, a tidbit about her will crop up that... I think nobody else except lirvilas knows yet. (I am not sure if I didn't blurt it out already somewhere in Childhood's End comment section.)
Private aircraft are not subject anywhere near the same security measures as commercial airlines; a harpoon would easily be brought aboard.
Points for setting up Wildebees + Soren shippin'
Still, I wonder if entering an airport with a clearly visible harpoon wouldn't at least raise some eyebrows...
Haha! Yeah, out of my already established characters, Sören seems attitude-wise to be the most "compatible" with Wildebees. :-D They will have some more scenes together in this chapter.
The team actually visited Pont-de-la-Mort in France waaaaayyyyy back in Chapter # 4!
Back then, the ominous name of this place was supposed to foreshadow this event...
The first appearance of the Tír na nÓg Whiskey, on the other hand, was not that long ago.
I found the idea of the letters following the curvature of circular label visually interesting enough to give it a reappearance here.
But yes, I have to wonder how exactly they let Sören into the airport with that harpoon. It's not exactly very... hideable?
(And Sören is extremely lucky that strolling into an airport with a friggin' harpoon didn't result in him getting hunted down by a SWAT team or something...)
(Hmmm... Sören was lucky? Or the SWAT team was lucky? XP)
Sounds like a premise for an action movie. :-D
And yes, Sören, we all like Selene. :)
And of course I like Wildebees too. :-)

Slightly less ominous now!
