As Ignia exited the simulation booth, Camryn practically leapt inside. She clambered onto the Duel Runner and practically shoved her head into the helmet, barely giving the course time to load before she started revving the Runner. [i][color=007236]This is gonna be so awesome! I bet I could finish the simulation in record time![/color][/i] Her train of thought continued in that direction as she continued to absentmindedly rev the engine, but she was snapped out of it by the sound of the timer beginning its countdown. She braced herself as the timer counted down from 3...

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKDbzPihUpM]And she was off![/url] The first part of the track was a long straightaway with a bunch of small oil slicks scattered in a random pattern along it. Camryn was able to go around most of them, but ended up clipping the last one, which made her slam into a wall and forced a restart. [i][color=007236]Okay, so maybe I won't finish in record time. But I can still finish! I just have to be a bit more careful.[/color][/i] The second time around, she managed to evade the oil puddles, but when she saw the second obstacle, her face fell.

It was a short ramp with a long drop, and Camryn didn't have enough speed to get across the gap at the rate she was going. She floored the accelerator and tried not to scream at the sudden huge burst of speed. She barely managed to clear the ramp, but drove directly into a cleverly-placed boulder, costing her another try. She grit her teeth and resolved to not hit the boulder next time.

Fortunately, the boulder was easy to avoid if you knew it was there, so it was bypassed easily. The next part of the track looked to be a series of tight, zigzagging turns, so Camryn promptly slowed way down and took her time with the obstacle. That was where she went wrong.

Camryn ended up slowing down so much that after the first few turns, her Duel Runner was going so slowly that it couldn't keep itself upright, and, very slowly, tipped over with her on it, which resulted in the simulation ending, as she had run out of lives.

Camryn sighed. [i][color=007236]Well, that was embarrassing. Hopefully Mr. Cellrate is the only one who saw it...[/color][/i] She exited the simulator room and went to sit down somewhere, hoping that nobody would notice her embarrassment.
