Wei Celebrates the Launch of the Alpha Centurion

[da_Vinci]

Dateline: YinYang Straight, 1750 AD

The Common and High Underlings of the Royal Dynasty gathered on the shores of the YinYang Straight for a celebration of the Scottish space launch.

Woo Li addressed the throng, enjoying the festivities as the plume of the Alpha Centurion is seen rising overhead

"CHURDs of Wei, we are gathered here today to witness the great leap forward for humanity, wrought by our Scottish friends and their collaborators.  Wasn't the launch spectacular?"  The crowd roared in approval.

"I will let the event of the day speak for itself, and let you all return to enjoying the food, the friendship, and the fine display of our Terra Cotta Navy on parade.  Buddha be praised!"

And with another roar from the crowd, Woo Li retired from the podium.

The commander of the DNF Bottomcrawler -- Aidern's first submarine -- actually was in the YinYang Straight and surfaced just in time to witness the space ship's launch from sea.   Reportedly, it was an impressive sight to behold, and evoked feelings of peaceful global unity amongst the submariners aboard.

Ahh ... that explains the hysterical claims of a huge whale in the straight that we heard from numerous onlookers at the festivities.

Perhaps in the interest of said peaceful global unity, the Dern might, in the future, inform us of the presence of such stealth vessels in our territorial waters?
