Snippet #2355818

Suddenly, a transmission appeared on the radio that was built into Gabe and Bella's airbike. "Greetings Air Transport. You are entering Freedom Inc. Airspace. Below you is the land of Ubarra, a historically important land saturated in mana. We hope that you enjoy your time in Ubarra, and you might consider buying our wares. Here is a short video of our founder, Professor Kelovius Mozaralt Freedom. He will tell you about the services we have to offer." And with that a Tv screen flipped up, and a picture of a smartly dressed man with darting reptilian eyes and a handsome face and charming smile appeared. "Hello there, airspace users, we thank you for choosing to use Ubarran airspace to reach your destination. We do not get customers as often as we used to. My name is Kelovius, though people across the world know me as Professor Freedom. Some of you may have seen me in your dreams, for that is one of the many ways i use my mental influence to advertise our produce. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the wonders of Morbidium. It is a new element that I have discovered, through mixtures of magical and scientific techniques. It briefly occurs when a creature dies, before evaporating into the atmosphere. It is a gas based element, and is the closest thing that science can muster to a soul. It cannot be seen by those without extensive mental training, but luckily, I and the rest of my staff are fully trained in such matters. Once collected, it is quickly converted into mana before it evaporates, and is sold off to customers. Do you see now? We at Freedom inc. have discovered an energy source! You may wonder how we collect Morbidium, and rest assured that we don't murder scores of people! No, instead we run a farm, and it operates like any other farm. When it comes time for an animal to be slaughtered, it is done so in the most humane way possible, its meat being sent off to food suppliers and the Morbidium converted into mana. Our energy stockpile itself is run off Morbidium, and is the second largest energy stockpile in all of daughtris, the first being the one in Pruwas. We at freedom incorporated believe that morbidium is one of the stepping stones towards a brighter cleaner world, as it does not harm the environment. Our vision is a world that is stress free. A world of bliss......and freedom. Thank you for listening." then the screen flipped back down, and the AI piped up again. "If you are interested in purchasing Morbidium - grown mana, or have further questions, you must contact our airspace supervisor.
