The lights were always too bright. You’d almost think they did it on purpose just to make him look even more annoyed than he already was with this whole circus. [i]Every time[/i]… [color=f7941d][b]“Hello…”[/b][/color] he quickly glanced over at the holographic title-card next to his interviewer. [color=f7941d][b]“... Aurora.”[/b][/color] He wondered if she even was a real person or if they just cranked up the happy-go-lucky AI settings since last time. [color=f7941d][b]“The season is shaping up to be a damn interesting one. I’m happy to see some of my favorites back in the lineup. Wadi Rum, Istanbul, Dubai Sky, Mare Austral on Luna. Veeerrry challenging tracks, just as I like them. And with Luna, we have the home-field advantage. I swear, if I hear Layla brag one more time about how many times she’s already looped that thing I’m gonna…"[/b][/color] Kais stopped his train of thought just in time. That was close. Come to think of it, what [i]was[/i] he supposed to say again? Whatever… [b][color=f7941d]"Layla and I, we're two different kinds of beasts. She’s a strong racer, I don't think anyone can deny that. Impossible not to be when you’ve got mods all the way up your[/color] [u][[color=ff0000]CENSORED[/color] - To view, turn off PG13 settings][/u][color=f7941d]. But the heart and soul of racing isn’t about how much of your body shines gold when you stand in the spotlight."[/color][/b] Kais paused to wait at Aurora's nodding animation to stop, a tiny hint of a smirk curling his lips. [color=f7941d][b]"Tech means nothing when you cap your energy management at just 100%, and let me tell you, I will fight at least twice as hard as that for every single millisecond. That’s how I'm going to win."[/b][/color] He said as he glanced off-camera slightly. [color=f7941d][b]"And sure, [i]some[/i] are gonna feel stepped on their toes about that, so be it. Reaction time in antigrav’s too short to take each others’ feelings into account. It's a battlefield, after all."[/b][/color] He shrugged. It was as cut and clear as that. Then he leant forward with a glint in his eye. His gaze locked tight with the camera. [color=f7941d][b]"Layla brings the shine. I bring the fire. And together, we're gonna make something very special happen. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride."[/b][/color] [hr] [b][color=bc8dbf]“Did you have to go so hard again, Kais? Omar's not gonna be too happy about it.”[/color][/b] Layla said as the two met up off-stage. Somehow she managed to look elegant even with her feet propped up on the table, her striking gold bionic eyes following Kais as he walked by. [b][color=f7941d]“Oh, when is he ever?”[/color][/b] Kais answered. [b][color=f7941d]“You reckon he’s gonna last longer than the last one? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile even [i]once[/i].”[/color][/b] Layla laughed. [b][color=bc8dbf]“I know, right? Is that why the two of you get along so well?”[/color][/b] [b][color=f7941d]“Very funny, Layla. Why don’t you tell me about the moon again?”[/color][/b] [hr] [center][b]Group chat: Al-Saqr PR[/b][/center] [b]Omar (Team Principal)[/b]: [color=7e7778][i]“Damnit Kais.”[/i][/color] [color=7e7778][i]“Is this how you treat all our interns? Making them clean up the messaging after your mess?” [/i][/color] [right][b]Kais[/b]: [color=f7941d][i]“The audience loves a good show. Who am I to keep it from them?" "Besides, gotta give Nadia something to do, how else is she gonna learn things?”[/i][/color][/right] [b]Omar (Team Principal)[/b]: [color=7e7778][i]“She’s studying *electrical engineering*, Kais.”[/i][/color] [right][b]Kais[/b]: [color=f7941d][i]“Yeah, and my job’s driving in circles. Welcome to the real world, Nadia.”[/i][/color][/right] [b]Nadia (Intern)[/b]: [color=7ea7d8][i]“The vacancy didn’t say anything about this lol.”[/i][/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]“But will do my best.”[/i][/color] ([i]Kais 👍'ed this[/i]) [b]Omar (Manager)[/b]: [color=7e7778][i]“Thanks, Nadia. Let’s try to keep our messaging at least semi-professional.”[/i][/color] [color=7e7778][i]“Gotta admit though, Fire and Shine has a nice ring to it…”[/i][/color] [hr] [color=gold][center][h1][i][b]DELTΔ HYPER[/b][/i][/h1][/center][/color] [color=gold][center][h2][i][b]Episode One: Finding their Feet[/b][/i][/h2][/center][/color] [hr] [center][b]Team Radio: Al-Saqr Racing[/b][/center] [b][color=aa99aa]“Kais, look out on the bay. Layla reported wind and water turbulence.”[/color][/b] [b][color=f7941d]“Then we better get through that part fast.”[/color][/b] [b][color=aa99aa]“Wouldn’t advise it.”[/color][/b] [b][color=f7941d]“Tell her I’ll wait for her at the finish.”[/color][/b] [center][i](some time later)[/i][/center] [b][color=f7941d]“This thing steers like a drunk cow.”[/color][/b] [b][color=aa99aa]“Told you to be careful.”[/color][/b] [b][color=f7941d]“What pos we in tomorrow?”[/color][/b] [b][color=aa99aa]“You’re on P11.
