[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Past idol, has to be Starcross, come on!”[/color][/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”Booo, I’m telling Flo!”[/color] Bea jeered in jest, her laughter cut short by the next corner.

[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Schnitzel! Okay, back over Flugplatz in a bit!”[/color][/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”What kind?”[/color]
[color=#5EBD83]”I like pork neck the most, but between the food plan and my girlfriend hating the connective tissue it’s a rare treat.”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”Fried or oven-roasted?”[/color]
[color=#5EBD83]”Fried, of course, that’s what schnitzel is. Who roasts schnitzels?”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”It’s too greasy when you f- fuuuck me sideways and call me Susan- fry it  Same with potato chips.”[/color] SHe knew Flugplatz was coming and it still caught her out.
[color=#5EBD83]”You roast potato ch-”[/color] Ben simply shook his head with visible disappointment.

[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Uhh, honestly, sometimes whether I've left....ooo that's late”[/color][/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”Yep, okay, I did that, you get that one for free.”[/color] She lamented through gritted teeth, bracing her arms against the sides of the canopy.

[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Couple, I'd ship Cassie and Harrison, I mean where there's smoke there's fire!”[/color][/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”Not Cassie and Dorian then?”[/color]
[color=#5EBD83]”Too much fire, that’s a blast furnace.”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”Jamie and Kais?”[/color]
[color=#5EBD83]”That’s not a couple, that’s homicide.”[/color]

[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Uhhh, race on Mars, definitely, I love space so no brainer!”[/color][/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”What made you like space?”[/color]
[color=#5EBD83]”Every star I see is a mystery, maybe one day an adventure. Down here, we’re on the top rung, for better or worse. But when I look out of a porthole up there, I feel small and humble again.”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”Try being 162 centimeters, theeeeeen- Bloooody Hell! You won’t need space to feel small.”[/color]

[quote][color=#5EBD83]”Yeah, okay, that was fun! You alright?”[/color] Ben smiled, opening the canopy and getting a glance at a no doubt terrified Bea.[/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”I’m good…”[/color] She squeaked, both hands white-knuckling the crash harness since the Little Carousel.

Nürburg, Germany[/h2][h3]Qualifying[/h3][/center]Bea managed to wrestle the ship through the woods in a satisfactory manner, trying not to think of Thursday’s Delta Hyper shoot too much during her hot lap but finding herself wishing she had that brakeless, spin-happy, tandem-seated tub in certain sections where high stability was required. On paper, they should’ve burned on this track - okay maybe not burned, Amy did that - but they should not have been this high up while the likes of MMR or Al-Saqr seemed to struggle despite the track suiting them better. Their speed and handling must have compensated something fierce to keep them this high up despite still having some of the worst stability rating on the grid.
[color=#129914]”Fantastic result, Bea! That’s P6.”[/color] Alistair called out happily when she returned from the showers, [color=#129914]”Ava’s in P9. You drove the bolts off the ships today.”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”That’s right. Everyone else didn’t have a shite day, [i]we are overperforming[/i].”[/color] She returned the offered fist bump with a toothy grin. [color=#1EFF24]”Now just to survive tomorrow.”[/color]
[color=#129914]”We survived the night after Spa, we’ll survive anything.”[/color]
[color=#1EFF24]”So you’re saying I should stop paying your tabs?”[/color] She cocked an eyebrow.
A nearby mechanic, bent down under the ship, sprang upright. ”No! No, he’s shutting up now.” He clamped his hand over Alistair’s mouth, chuckles spreading though the garage.

[quote]”What would you say is the hardest thing for you about racing in Formula AG?”[/quote]
[color=#1EFF24]”I would say the dieting, but that’s sports in general.”[/color] She thought for a few seconds. Beatrix Ward, actually paused to think. What was that, third time in the year? [color=#1EFF24]”I honestly can’t give you one thing unique to AG racing. There’s things about this level of sports in general, things about racing, as much as I love it it’s not without its drawbacks, and things shared among all circuit racing, but nothing specific to AG racing comes to mind.”[/color]
There was one thing she could name, but it didn’t seem prudent to do so.

“Really, not one? How about something that’s true for AG racing compared to anything else you’ve done in your career?”

[color=#1EFF24]”I miss the close relationship with the co-driver.”[/color] She fired off without a second thought, [color=#1EFF24]”Yes, we work closely with the race engineer a lot, but it’s not the same. If the race engineer is your right hand, the co-driver is your left brain hemisphere.”[/color]
