Archimedes Uncommon

Even though the sky and birds have for a long time only existed in the pictures of the old battered encyclopedias of Riotspolis University, that hasn't stopped young Archimedes wanting to fly. But a simple hot air balloon was a long way from satisfying his desires in terms of maneuverability. Fortunately, at that time, Doctor Copernica Senior had theorized about a new type of fuel and Archimedes helped him create the first propulsion system that didn’t explode on ignition. Time has since gone by and now that the sky is within reach of the engineer, he has gone beyond all bounds of common sense with his latest creation: the “Hypermedes” Zeppelin powered by liquid thermonium, that is unauthorized by the Alma Mater!
