[color=fff200][b]Bea[/b][/color] Welcome to the madhouse, Bella.

[color=fff200][b]Paul[/b][/color] Hello Bella! Welcome to the group pilots chat! So tell us, what is it like working with Astrid? 

[color=fff200][b]Bea[/b][/color] @Astrid Do we get told why switch now or are you sticking up for Bjorn like a good teammate?

[color=fff200][b]Paul[/b][/color] @Bea It does make you wonder if they call her Astrid the crank or something behind her back. 

[b][color=fff200]Bellatrix.[/color][/b] Astrid. Is .. different,  but I'll soften her up to join me on my game night stream one day.

[color=fff200][b]Paul[/b][/color] @Bellatrix That is… very polite and politically correct. Now tell us how you really feel! 😀 

[color=fff200][b]Astrid.[/b][/color] @Paul. New needs. New came. End . Bella sang in the sauna. Disney… Chaos personified.
No. I am a rock.

[color=fff200][b]Paul[/b][/color] @Astrid I can see the Disney Princess reference. I must admit Karaoke with the pilots would be interesting. Do you think we could get Kais to actually sing? 

[color=fff200][b]Bellatrix.[/b][/color] And water erodes rock. Slowly. Race, lets all finish in one piece yeah. We doing exploding kittens this week, its way less horrific than it sounds.

[color=fff200][b]Bellatrix.[/b][/color]Ps. Who uses a Sauna in this weather? Nordics be strange.

[color=fff200][b]Paul[/b][/color] @Dorian I feel like we are missing out on team building fun here. Cards Against Humanity with wine after the race?

Just like racing on Luna there was some extra safety gear to get used too. Paul and Dorian had been put through safety drills in the case the racing track tunnels were flooded. The ship was not designed to be submerged in seawater. It was airtight for the moon, but not rated for the pressures of the deep ocean. They had been put through emergency evacuation drills on how to get out of the ship safely in an underwater environment. They had been drilled with the portable short life rebreathers that had been designed into their helmets for this race. Their race helmets for this one honored the track and showed pictures of the recovering coral reef and all the colorful wildlife that called it home. Paul had felt very comfortable after all the free diving training he had done to increase his lung capacity. He was excited to be able to use what he had learned in such a beautiful place. 

Paul struggled a little with the long straights as their ship was a little slower than some of the other teams. He loved the tunnel track which gave him more ways and opportunities to overtake other pilots. He was a little disappointed to qualify in P5. It was not a bad position but he had hoped for better. He understood why he was there though. The track was structured with long straight sections that favored speed. The all around mag tracking while it allowed pilots to be more creative, it also was an energy suck. Paul was hoping that after the repairs to the ship and dialing in the ELS changes the team had been working on in practice and qualifying he would get the opportunity to use the unique track design to his advantage. He would just have to do his best during the race and see what happened. After Argentina, it was clear that you never could count your winnings before the end of the race. Dorian was in a decent position as well. Hopefully they could at least maintain or gain some positions to help the team points situation. He was looking forward to racing against the new pilot from Team Nordic Call. He had heard of Bellatrix but he had never met her in person.

[color=fff200]Paul:[/color] “The team has worked hard to repair the ship after the damage it sustained in Argentina. We are still adjusting and fine tuning it after repairs. I am in a good position to challenge some of the front runners. I am excited for this race. It is such a beautiful spot. I am loving the all tunnel mag track. I am really excited to see how that works for overtakes and passing during the race. It should be a fun race.”
