Jake looked around the high tech interior of the helicopter. The plane’s sleek black design and advanced equipments made everything seems so fresh. When he first came onto the helicopter, he was compelled to touch every 50 buttons in the front seat because he was so excited but restrained himself.

Daedalus has yet to take Icarus out for a flying simulation before rewarding him the wings to fly on his own. A single lesson is not enough to determine the hazards and risks of flying. Similarly to driving a car, it takes years of accumulated experience and practice to fully know an individual's driving skill…
