Kit stormed into Jay's flat, his parents were still at work, where she would've been if she hadn't received a very disturbing email. "Jay!" She called out desperately, "Jay please tell me it's not true, what did you even do?" She sat on the couch
There was a gravity on Jay’s youthful face that wasn’t familiar, but he seemed eerily calm as he walked down the stairs to see Kit.He didn’t speak until he was standing across from her."I can’t tell you yet Kit, not until you answer me one thing. Will you stay by my side? No matter what? "

Kit nodded understandably and closed her eyes leaning against his chest for a moment before she pulled back, her eyes dark with concentration. “Pack one bag of clothes, pack your important blueprints, burn the rest. Get rid of that stick.” She nodded to the usb drive. “Any documents- passport, birth certificate, school records, shove them in an envelope and put it under the fridge, they’ll assume we’ve taken them with us and that were using them to get out of the country.” She glanced over at the mirror and frowned a bit regretfully, “Gonna have to cut my hair and dye it. You’re lucky I was prepared.” She stood on her toes and kissed his nose. “Quickly, we don’t have much time.”
Jay cracked a window and started to light a mini fire inside a metal rubbish bin. "You're certainly prepared." He mused as he dropped the memory stick into a twisted pile of burning phonebook. "Dee and Dad are going back to jail you know. You won't be able to talk to your Dad again if you come with me."

She looked up at him, her gaze steady as she took in his expression. She stood and walked over to him, leaning up on her toes and kissing him gently. “Of course I am, that’s not even a question.” She said calmly, her hand catching his
"I released it. I released everything." He revealed a usb stick in his hand. "Decima gave me her key code in case anything should ever happen to her...so I used it." He frowned. "I'm sick of secrets and lies. Everything is out there now, on governments, on us, on Decima and Dad. It's all free. No more secrets. They'll be after me next, your dear Uncle Mycroft and his lackies, but this is better than how it was. Watching them sell themselves to the system they used to fight so hard against"
I want you to know that in this world, there is a kind of beauty that comes from nowhere. it does not hold any meaning by itself, but it bears the human in you.

Festo - SmartBird
so schön kann forschung sein! der firma festo ist es gelungen, den vogelflug naturgetreu nachzubilden. sieht verblüffend realistisch aus und es gibt sicher viele anwendungsmöglichkeiten für so eine technische errungenschaft. das video läuft übrigens in echtzeit - ist also nicht in zeitlupe (irgendwie dachte ich das während des guckens)
aus der videobeschreibung:
SmartBird ist ein ultraleichtes, aber leistungsstarkes Flugmodell mit einer hervorragenden Aerodynamik und maximaler Agilität. Mit SmartBird ist es Festo gelungen, einen der ältesten Menschheitsträume zu entschlüsseln: den Vogelflug. Der von der Silbermöwe inspirierte, bionische Technologieträger kann von selbst starten, fliegen und landen - ohne zusätzlichen Antrieb. Seine Flügel schlagen dabei nicht nur auf und ab, sondern verdrehen sich gezielt. Dies geschieht durch einen aktiven Gelenktorsionsantrieb, der in Verbindung mit einer komplexen Regelung bisher unerreichte Wirkungsgrade im Flugbetrieb realisiert. Damit gelingt Festo erstmals eine energieeffiziente, technische Adaption des natürlichen Vorbilds.
für interessierte gibts hier noch ein video von der mechanik im inneren des “vogels”
