Pye-rate, I have notified Santa Claus, and he checked his list to see it you've been naughty or nice.

Frankly it was touch-and-go for a while there, but my personal recommendation tipped the scale, so there might just be one of these under the tree on Christmas morning. Very Happy

However, there's a problem. Santa says that every time the elves finish constructing one of these things, they take it out for a test flight . . . and head straight for Tahiti! Shocked

Santa said he's down to six elves, and the beach in Tahiti is ass-deep in pointy-eared midgets with their jetpack wings sticking up in the sand next to them like surfboards!

Okay, so that's the Science. Now let's add the Fiction!

This one is a shoe-in for a superhero team, with no modifications or improvements needed!

Well, okay, sure — these guys can't take off from the ground . . . and the range of the jet packs could use some improvement . . . and few high-powered weapons wouldn't hurt either. (Unless you were a bad guy. In that case they would hurt a lot!)

But hey, other than little stuff like that, these fellows are ready to fight crime!
