From the moment Lei first laid eyes on an airship, she knew nothing else could ignite such a fierce passion within her. Inspired by her idol, Amelia Earhart, she has carved out a name for herself in aviation, amassing an impressive list of achievements. As the youngest pilot to earn a license for the colossal Attos airships, she also holds the highest score ever recorded in the engineering examination. Her skill extends beyond airships—Lei set the record for the fastest voyage in a nimble two-seater blimp.

Though proficient in piloting propeller-driven aircraft, the majesty of airships continues to captivate her. Advancements in technology have replaced the volatile hydrogen of early Zeppelins with a safer mixture, yet airships still present their challenges. Her uncle, Professor Chu, often urges her to pursue the quiet halls of academia rather than the unpredictable skies, but Lei knows her heart belongs above the clouds.

Chu gripped the seat tightly as the blimp lurched to one side. “Is that supposed to happen?” he asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice. Lei laughed. It’s just air pressure.” With a playful glint, she teased, “Ready to see what this beauty’s truly capable of?”
