From Challenge #41. While Dragon's Flight doesn't really soar to the standards I hold #HTTRPG to, it wants the reader to _know_ it's a nonlinear problem-solver, and that makes me happy. Toot that horn, Dragon's Flight; you earned it!

Plus it's an adorable goofy fanfic module about giant robot space dragons in Star Trek. I can almost smell the Con Funk. 😂
