|

29 | Inland Empire | Because it's lonely. Just like you. Seaweed and strange fish around it, limpets clinging to the carcass... The sounds of the streets above... |

36 | You | Run your fingers over one of the steering levers. |
|

37 | Interfacing | The smell of freshly treated leather, the lack of dirt and dust on the dashboard, and a neat little brush in the cup-holder all seem to be whispering: |
|
|
38 | You | Wait, does it mean I know how to pilot it? |
|
|
39 | You | Pull out the pull-out toolbox. |
|
|
40 | Coupris Kineema | In the cabin you are welcomed by a set of steering levers, a radio-microphone on a hook, a pull-out toolbox under the seat, and the soft glow of the fuel pre-heater gauge. |

51 | Perception (Smell) | A scent of leather-work and heavy fuel oils washes over you. |
|
|
52 | You | Open the door. |
|
|
53 | Interfacing | Of course it's only in your head -- of course it is -- but it almost feels as if the clutch handle is gently squeezing back. |
|
|
54 | Coupris Kineema | I'm good, cherished and cared for, in the hands of a tending owner. |
|
|
55 | Logic | This is clearly feverish nonsense -- let's rationalize it away. Grab the radio, or tools, or do something normal. |
|

56 | Interfacing | The handle is pulled back. Somewhere deep inside the drivetrain the disk is mated to the flywheel again. |

|
|
110 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Someone must have been messing with the radio, or maybe it picked up a random frequency... You wanted the primeline, right?" |
|
|
111 | You | "Sorry about it, I wanted to contact the dispatch." (Pick up the radio and turn it back to PRIMELINE.) |
|
|
112 | You | "*Speedfreaks FM*, huh?" (Look him in the eye.) |

|
126 | You | "Right, you don't want to get into this, no problem." |
|
|
127 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Nothing to *get into* really, but sure, let's focus on the important things." He pats the motor carriage. |
|
|
128 | Reaction Speed | Go for it -- turn the radio back on while it's still on the Speedfreaks FM! |
|
|
129 | DJ Mesh | "...SSSSOUPED UP MOTOR CARRIAGE FOR ONE BAD BAD MOMMA'S BOY, F-F-F-FFFOR THE H-H-HEAVY OF F-F-F-FFFOOT AND FREAKY IN..." |
|
|
130 | Kim Kitsuragi | "God-damn-it!" The lieutenant moves quick as a viper as he switches off the radio and sets it on primeline. Then he turns to you: |
|
|
131 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Look, it helps me to stay alert on long nights, okay? It's a method. I'm not some kind of *speed-freak* or..." He shakes his head, furiously staring at his feet. |
|
|
132 | You | "What about *heavy of foot*?" |
|
|
133 | You | "Sure, you don't have to explain yourself. I'll just forget about it." |

|
|
143 | Coupris Kineema | The cage at the back of the motor carriage looks rather uncomfortable. Four shiny hubcaps are stacked against the seat. Their silver edges sparkle in the dark. |
|
|
144 | Kim Kitsuragi | "I confiscated these four a little while back. We can take them to the pawnshop down by the Martinaise Canal." |

244 | Encyclopedia | The TipTop Tournée is an interisolary racing series, mostly known for its high speeds, ludicrous sponsorship deals, and high death toll. In Revachol it's held quadrennially on the prestigious Zéro Carrousel racing circuit. |
