So a few people may be wondering well, what powers Ezrael's ship?

Answer: old tech from her homeworld

The venter of the behemoth (which is NOT an emain vessel) is a massive hunk of crystalized amanathine. Now now, don't go thinking "oh jeez, our scientific drake is bringing magic rocks into this shit"

Amanathine is Emain's equivalent to URANIUM. However, Amanathine's lifespan is a little over a million years. Meaning that crystal can POWER that vessel for as long as Ezrael is alive, and her offspring, and theirs, and theirs, and so on. The downside? Amanathine is EXTREMELY radioactive. To non-drakes, being in the engine room of her vessel is a death sentence. Drakes like Ezrael who are augmented are impervious to the effects of Amanathine poisoning, as she has it running through her veins. Other drakes have a high resistance/tolerance, but even still procautions are taken. There are two massive cooling tanks which cycle the amanathine and keep the reactor from overheating. The crystal itself is suspended in a stabilized structure with springs inside to absorb any shock. The crystal has as much airflow access as possible, to further aid in the cooling. Amanathine gets extremely hot when in use, and a single crystal of this size having a nuclear meltdown would be powerful enough to destroy an entire star. (Yes kids, a sun.)

obviously this has a LONG way yet to go, and i'll expand on the plants later--but I've been having a good time working on it.
