[center][h2]Friday November 19th, 2094, 10:01 Wadi Rum, Jordan[/h2][/center]As the shoot ended, Bea shot an inquisitive look toward Kais, the supersoldier in possession of the drive with Amy’s mental print and instructions from the email - “You need to find a way to sever my neural link to my brain, and before it can reglue itself, and put me back inside. Link whatever data device you have my memory into the port, and whatever you have of me, will find a way home. This'll cost Silver Apex everything, because once it happens, the cat is out of the bag.” - wondering what he would end up choosing. The situation was now literally out of Bea’s hands, feeling like betrayal and the only reasonable course of action she could see at the same time.

The battle for 5th was still ongoing mathematically, but the mood in the garage was positive despite the heat nearly melting shoe rubber. Bea was going through sports drinks like a cocaine addict through tissues, at the same time thankful and regretting she was sweating less than a full meat Human because of the prosthetics. The heat was so bad she switched to wearing her polymer racing set full time because the metal of her usual set got too hot when she was outside. [color=#129914]”That’s P2, Bea. Good show.”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”I think I made her mad in Utah.”[/color] Bea laughed, toweling the rest of the breathing liquid off of her hair. [color=#1EFF24]”Bloody Hell, what a time.”[/color] [color=#129914]”Ships are matched. It’ll be down to talent and reliability tomorrow. We’ll need to watch the temps.”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”Looking at what the end of sector one looks like from the outside, someone should check the top of her canopy for tooth marks.”[/color] She snickered. [color=#129914]”Speaking of getting thrown, have you been banned from Monaco yet?”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”Sadly, no, I have to deal with it next year.”[/color] [color=#129914]”Don’t even joke about that, Pablo was here two minutes ago!”[/color] Laughter wasn’t the reaction he was expecting. [color=#129914]”One day I will know what she did to you.”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”Breathed my air.”[/color] Bea shrugged without pause. [color=#129914]”Wow.”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”Sore loser, too smug.”[/color] [color=#129914]”You literally ‘handed her an L’ like it was 2024.”[/color] [color=#1EFF24]”I live by live and let live. If she doesn’t let live, she won’t be let live. Simple. I said ‘live’ so many times it lost meaning, it’s just noise now…”[/color] [color=gold][center][h1][i][b]DELTΔ HYPER[/b][/i][/h1][/center][/color][color=gold][center][h2][i][b]Episode 18: Ticking Hourglass[/b][/i][/h2][/center][/color] [hr] [quote]”Bea, sandwiched between two Southern Cross ships. How are you feeling about the circuit, given your rally roots? Do the visuals feel similar to some of the WRC events you've been at before, and do you think you can use that to your advantage tomorrow?”[/quote] [color=#1EFF24]”Visually, it’s very similar to Kenya, which I do not have the best memories of.”[/color] Bea nodded, referring to the unfortunate heat stroke incident. [color=#1EFF24]”Nothing applicable here, though. Completely different handling. As for which pilots we’re stuck between… Ava and I will both have our hands full. Best case scenario, Harrison and Amy spend the whole race doing their thing and leave me and Nora alone to have our fun.”[/color] [hr] [center][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TrLdbYUu7LJQf9_6F1zblN3WfwvCU8R3W8Xskd8b3vI/edit?usp=sharing]Carrera Condor NPCs[/url][/center]
