2 Days Later, August 31st, 2023, Underground Ventilation System, Spirit Ridge Region, 1:15PM. Jailey Is Inside Her Flat, Sitting In The Theater Watching Speedhunter Race Feed, It's Been Days Since Her Recruitment Into The Speedhunters And Entry Into The World Of Voided Outcasts, She's Just Been Biding Her Time, Waiting For Her DB11 Volante To Be Ready For Pickup, She Wants To Get Back Out There As Soon As Possible, And Then, She Suddenly Gets A Message On Her SpeedPad.
SpeedPad: (Display) Incoming Message - To Jailey/Your 2019 Aston Martin DB11 Volante Is Now Ready For Pickup, We Will Hold Until Your Arrival. - Tuner Shoppe. Jailey Immediately Piped Up At The Message And Immediately Shut Off The Theatre Monitor And Ran To Get Dressed Into Her Signature Speedhunter Attire That She Had Picked Out For Herself, Consisting Of A White Open Jacket, A Black Short-Sleeve Combat Shirt, Grey Sweatpants And Black And White Shoes, And Once She Was, She Rushed Out Of Her Flat And Towards The Motorailing Platform And Rapidly Types In The Location Of The Tuner Onto The Touchscreen And While On The Way Over, She Takes The Time To Calm Herself Down And Upon Arrival, She Steps Off The Platform And Walks Over To The Tuner Entrance And Walks Through The Door Into The Shoppe, To Which She Immediately Gets Called Over By The Same Female Employee With The Multi-Colored Hair From Days Ago.
Female Employee: Hey Jailey!.
Jailey: Uh, Hey..., Uhh... The Female Employee Looks At Jailey A Bit Confused, But Immediately Perks Up Upon Remembering That She Never Actually Mentioned Her Own Name.
Female Employee: Oh!, Aha!, My Name Is Kaela, Anyway, Right This Way To Your Aston. Kaela Leads Jailey Into Another Part Of The Tuner Shoppe, And In The Middle Of The Room Is Jailey's Aston Martin DB11 Volante To Which Some Changes Are Immediately Noticed And More Upon Looking Around The Car, The SICK Grille On The Front With The Neon Outlining Main Headlight Is Now Carbon Fiber, The Entire Cockpit Is Now A Complete Mix Of Carbon Fiber And Aluminum, There Is A SpeedPad Mount At The Bottom Of The Center Dash, The Central Panel Has An Additional Section With A Small Screen And Also Four Different Buttons With Peculiar Symbols On Them, But Also Text On Them, One Says "Nitrous Refill", Another Says "Jammer", Another Says "Thermal Repair", And The Last Says "Reinflation", There's Also Some LED Lights In The Cockpit Aswell, And There Is An Easily Spotted Dashcam In The Cockpit Aswell, Along With A Rearview Cam, And Also, Another Camera That Is On The Far Right Side Of The Cockpit And Shows Both The Passenger And Driver Seats, And Speaking Of, The Harnesses In The DB11's Seats Were Replaced With Custom Harnesses, They Had Additional Support And Also Had An Extra Strap That Goes Over The Head And Fastens Around The Chest, Exclusive For Roadsters, Spiders, And Convertibles, And Also, The Speedometer Was Customized, In The Center Circular Screen, RPM, Speed And Gear Were Displayed, And Alongside Were Two Screens Here, Right Side Was To Monitor Chassis Conditions And Damage, And The Left Side Was To Monitor That Nitrous Uses Count And Also Calculate The Thermal Boost Charge, And On The Right Side, The Car's Condition Is Displayed, A Map Of The Chassis, Suspension, And Engine, And A Sort Of Health-Like Bar Display Of The Calculated Integrity Of The Car Overall, But That's What Jailey Can See So Far.
Jailey: Damn..., You People Really Went All Out, Didn't You?.
Kaela: Hehe, Yes, We Did, But As You Can See, We Converted A Bunch Of Physical Parts With Carbon Fiber And Aluminum, Changed Out The Seatbelts, Fitted The Media Equipment Into The Car, Put In A SpeedPad Mount, But Of Course, That's Not All We Did, We Also Implemented The Traditional Pursuit Auxiliary. Jailey Became A Little Confused At The Mention Of Pursuit Auxiliary, She Didn't Know What It Was, But Could Get A Few Ideas.
Jailey: Um, You Want To Maybe Explain This "Pursuit Auxiliary" For Me Please?.
Kaela: Oh, Yes, Well, Pursuit Auxiliary Is This Extra Equipment In Speedhunter Cars That Is For Helping With Pursuits With The EASE, There Are Six Different Auxiliary Pieces In These Cars, The RAM Chassis, Which Is What Allows Offensive Driving In These Cars, Impact Protection Bodywork, Allowing For Defensive Driving, The Jammer, It Disables The Weapons And Communications Of All EASE Units In The Immediate Area For A Limited Time, Nitrous Refill, Which Allows You To Inject More Oxide Into The Tanks Whenever They Run Out, Which By The Way, You Only Have A Limited Number Of Refills, Tyre Reinflation, Which Will Repair Any Tyre Damage Upon Running Over Spike Strips, Although, You Have To Wait A Certain Amount Of Time Before They Can Be Reinflated, And Finally, The Thermal Repair, Whenever Your Car Is Heavily Damaged, You Can Activate The Thermal Repair And It Will Patch Up Whatever Damage It Can Using Extreme Heat Wielding Mechanisms, But Remember, You Can Only The Thermal Repair A Limited Number Of Times, And Also, Remember, We Have A Specific Policy On Our Maintenance, In Layman's Terms, If Your Car Is Damaged, But It Isn't Critical Damage, And You Haven't Used The Thermal Repair Or Tyre Reinflation, We'll Just Put It Back Together For You, However, If Any Of Those Three Things Are The Case, Then It'll Cost You, It Will Also Cost More With The More Each Were Met, And Also, How Much The Car Is Upgraded, And How Rare And/Or Expensive The Car Is, So Be Aware Of That. Jailey Had To Take A Few Seconds To Take All Of That Information In, Everything That Was Now Fitted Into The Car Was Astounding To Say The Least.
Jailey: Right, Anything Else That I Should Know?.
Kaela: Yes, We Actually Converted The Forced Induction And/Or Aspiration From A Regular ST Twin-Charge (Single Turbo Twin-Charge), To An SQ Twin-Charge (Sequential Turbo Twin-Charge), This Doesn't Just Add Horsepower And Torque, But Also Stabilizes The Low-End And High-End Outputs, And We Also Modified The Fuel System To The Traditional Specs, With Lightening Of The Fuel Tank, And Careful Development And Engineering Of The Fuel Flow Regulator, ECU, Base Fuel Technology, Fuel Injection, Fuel Pumps, And Combustion Chamber, This DB11 Can Now Race At High Speed For The Full 12 Hours Of The Night Straight, A Gallon Per Hour, The Tyres Are Modified To Last The Same Amount Of Time Under The Same Amount Of Pressure. Jailey Gets A Bit More Astounded At That Information That She Doesn't Even Notice The Older Man Walking Into The Room.
Kaela: Oh!, Mr. Wildrose, Hello!.
Wildrose: Hello Kaela, And You Must Be Jailey. Jailey Tenses Up In Surprise Upon The Older Man Appearing Out Of Nowhere And Quickly Turns Towards Him.
Jailey: Um, Yes?.
Wildrose: Well, You Can Call Me Wildrose, I'm The Owner Of This Tuner.
Jailey: Oh, Um, Pleasure To Meet You Sir. Jailey Holds Her Hand Out For Him To Shake, Which He Immediately Takes And Holds Her Hand.
Wildrose: Hm, Strong Grip, No Wonder You Have Good Control. He Proceeds To Let Go Of Her Hand.
Wildrose: Anyway, I Assume You Want To Take Your Improved DB11 Out For A Spin?. Jailey Immediately Perks Up At The Mention Of A Test Drive Of Her New And Improved Aston Martin, While Kaela Proceeds To Hand Wildrose A Laptop.
Jailey: Oh, Of Course.
Wildrose: Great, Now Let's Get Going. And The Two Proceed To Sit In The DB11 And Once Their Buckled In, Kaela Walks Up To Jailey On The Driver Side And Hands Her The Key, To Which Jailey Inserts The Key In The Ignition Hole And Presses The Ignition Button Before Turning The Key, And The Now SQ Twin-Charged Engine Roars To Life, Sounding Better Than Ever And Kaela Runs Her Hand Along The Hood As If Petting The Car, And Jailey Can't Help But Smile At The Sound Of The Engine And Proceeds To Pet The Steering Wheel "Sort Of", As Wildrose Hooks Up The Laptop To The Central Dash Screen And The Cars Readings Pop Up On The Laptop Screen.
Wildrose: Come On, Let's Get Going. And Jailey Immediately Snaps Out Of Her Minor Daze And Immediately Pulls Out Her SpeedPad And Secures It To The Mount, And They Proceed To Pull Out Of The Tuner Shoppe And Drive A Few Miles Through The Tunnels Before Finally Pulling Out Of The Underground Ventilator Tunnels And To Which, Quinn Immediately Puts Her Foot To The Floor.
Timeskip: One Hour Later..., Gold Coast, Borderlands Region, 2:30PM. Jailey And Wildrose Are Now Riding Along The Gold Coast Highway In The Borderlands, The Southmost Region Of East Apollo, Jailey Is Currently Holding The DB11 At 110MPH, While Wildrose Is Staring At The Laptop Screen.
Wildrose: The Setup Seems Right So Far, But In An Actual Race, We Could Be Sure Of It. Jailey Then Spots A "Very Nice" Black And Gold Lamborghini Sian Roadster Stopped At The Stop Light Ahead.
Jailey: (Thoughts) Bella Bella... And Jailey Proceeds To Pull Up Next To The Lamborghini At The Stop Light, To Which The Man In The Driver Seat And The Woman In The Passenger Seat Both Look Over, Even Wildrose Looks Up From The Laptop And Looks At The Sian.
Jailey: Nice Car, What's The Retail On One Of Those?.
Man: More Than You Can Afford Pal, Lamborghini. And The Man Proceeds To Rev Up The Sian's Engine As The Woman Smirks At Jailey And Wildrose, While The Two Just Stare At The Arrogance Blankly, Until Wildrose Closes The Laptop And Turns To Jailey.
Wildrose: Smoke Him. Jailey Looks At Wildrose For A Second Before Looking Ahead Down The Road, And Both Cars Rev Their Engines And Once The Light Turns Green, They Both Floor It And Leave A Cloud Of Smoke As They Begin To Dash Down The Gold Coast With Big Acceleration, 120MPH - 130MPH - 140MPH - 150MPH - 160MPH, As The Speed Continues To Climb, The Aston Martin And The Lamborghini Are Both Still Side By Side, And Two Vehicles, A Truck And A Van Are Straight Ahead, Side By Side In Both Lanes, As They Fast Approach, The Lamborghini Drifts Onto The Shoulder, And Wildrose Grabs Onto The Frame Of The Windshield And Jailey Immediately Merges Into The Oncoming Lanes And Dodges Two Cars Before Merging Back Onto The Right Side Ahead Of The Sian, And It Seems That The Man Driving The Sian Doesn't Have The Mindset To Really Push The Car And Also Isn't Stupid Enough To Try To Either, As He Isn't Accelerating Any More, And Jailey Meanwhile Is Still Keeping Her Foot In And Flying Down The Road With Extreme Focus, 170MPH - 180MPH - 190MPH - 200MPH, And Wildrose Looks Over And Stares At Jailey And Her Focused Face As They Dash Down The Gold Coast, And Only Slow Down Once Jailey Spots A Ventilator Tunnel Entrance In A Lot Next To One Of The Mountains, And Proceeds To Enter Into The Tunnel Without A Thought.
Jailey: We Sure About The Setup Now?.
Wildrose: Yes, We Are.
Timeskip: 20 Minutes Later..., 3:03PM. The Two Finally Arrive Back At The Tuner Shoppe From A Motorailing Platform And Pull Up In Front Of The Tuner, And Wildrose Immediately Steps Out Of The DB11 And Turns To Jailey.
Wildrose: Hey, Make Sure To Come Back Around At Six, You Still Need To Go Through The Training Process To Truly Be Inducted As A Speedhunter, I Know It May Sound Imbiguous, But We Need To Make Sure That Rather Eventful Night You Had Wasn't Just Luck. Jailey Almost Wanted To Argue At The Need To Prove Herself Again, But At The Same Time, She Understood And Nodded Before Driving Off Back To Her Flat, And Would Arrive After About 10 Minutes, And Parks Her DB11 Volante In The Designated Car Bay Just Behind The Entrance And Step Out, Before Immediately Walking Into The Office And Sitting In Front Of The PC, And Going Into The Grid Wiring Channel And Taps Into Her Name History And Taps On A Specific Name, Mirae Embervale, And Immediately A Profile Pops Up And In The Profile Photo Is A Woman With Long Black Hair, Pale Skin And Beautiful Black Eyes, The Very Same Attractive Female EASE Undercover Officer That Drives A Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, The One That Jailey Had Found Herself Getting Dazed By And Also Got Felt Up By The Day She Was Caught, She Found Herself Listening In On Anything Regarding Mirae On A Practically Daily Basis, She Knew It Was Kinda Stalkerish, But She Couldn't Help It, The Way Her Voice Sounded, Her Aura, Everything About Her, Jailey Just Found Attractive.
Timeskip: 3 Hours Later..., 6:14PM. The Night Has Officially Begun, It's Time For The Speedhunter Racing To Start It's 12 Hour Haul, Several Speedhunters Have Already Come Out And Are Still Coming Out To Go Racing Throughout The Country, Jailey Is Included, She Has Already Picked Up Wildrose And The Two Are Pulling Out Of The Ventilator Tunnel And Onto The Driftwood Heights Area In The Night Elston Region, Along With A Light Blue Ford Mustang GT With A White Stripe, A Black Ford RS200, A Yellow And Black Lamborghini Diablo GTR, And A Grey Land Rover Defender 110 With A SICK Widebody Kit, Lowered Ride Height And Hood Exhaust, And As The Three Vehicles Pull Off Down The Road, The DB11 Stops At The Entrance, And Jailey Presses The Media Button On The Dash, And A Beeping Sound Is Heard, Meaning The Cameras Are On And Streaming.
Wildrose: I Already Made A Speedlist For You, It Will Help With Your Training. Wildrose Sends The Speedlist To Jailey's SpeedPad, And Once She Goes Into The Messages And Accepts The Speedlist And It Appears On The Screen, With The Set Of Eight Objectives Being, "Complete A Sprint Event", "Escape A Pursuit", "Complete A Faceoff Event", "Complete A Time Attack Event", "Set Off A SpeedTrap", "Wreck A Cop", "Reach Heat Level 5", "Raise Bank Score To 10,000".
Jailey: That's A Lot Of Objectives.
Wildrose: That You Have 12 Hours To Complete, Keep Your Head Up, And By The Way, Your Sprint Race Is Actually Just Around The Corner, You Better Line Up Fast. To Which Jailey Immediately Pulls Up To The Starting Line Of The Sprint About To Start In About 10 Minutes, And Into Position, To Which A Guy Walks Up To Her Car, Holding A Scanner Gun And Jailey Takes Her SpeedPad Off The Mount And Holds It Up For The Guy To See, And He Scans The Screen And Jailey's SpeedPad Immediately Links Up With The Other Cars That Are Already Lined, Waiting For The Other Competitors To Arrive, And Jailey Notices Two Cars In Front Of Her, A Black Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat With A Widebody Kit On It, Along With A Two-Tone Livery, All Black On The Left Side With "Midnight" Displayed, And Purple Decals All Over The Right Side, This Is Accompanied By A Long Lightbar Across The Front Grill And Liner Headlights All Around It, And The Other Car, A Silver Lamborghini Urus With A Widebody Kit And Turquoise Accents, She Remembered Those Cars, They Were At The Wyndams On The Night Of Her Escape From The EASE, The Two Women Were Standing By Their Cars Individually Just Talking, The Older Woman Standing By The Urus Was Called "Rapier" By Mr. Wyndam If She Remembered Right, The Other Woman About Her Age Standing By The Charger, She Doesn't Know, And Jailey Actually Notices The Starking Similarities To The Two Women, They Looked Exactly Like Each Other, Like Siblings, And Wildrose Taps Jailey On The Shoulder.
Wildrose: I'm Getting Off Here, Wouldn't Want To Weigh You Down, I'll Hit You On Comms. And Wildrose Immediately Steps Out Of The DB11.
Timeskip: 10 Minutes Later..., 6:25PM. All Of The Cars Were Now Lined Up And Revving Their Engines, And Apparently, The Woman That Was About Jailey's Age In The Charger Was Codenamed "Elucid".

Wildrose: (Comms) Great Progress, With That Race Alone, You Completed Two Objectives, Now, I'm Not Sure If You Knew This, But Every Objective Will Add To Your Bank Score, Just Like Your Heat Level Will Multiply Your Score By Whatever Level You're On At The End Of Each Night, And Speaking Of, Checking Off The Speedlist Also Raises Your Heat Level As Much As Competing In Events, Challenges And Pursuits Will, As You Already Know, The Higher You're Heat Level, The Harder The EASE Will Try To Chase You Down, Every Starts At Zero On The Heat Level, But Of Course, Now That You've Already Raced, Your Heat Level Will Be At One Now, So They'll Engage If They Spot You, Be Careful Out There.
Jailey: Thanks For The Heads-Up, I'll Keep That In Mind. And Jailey Continues To Cruise Down Towards Grapevine Drive, Taking In The Beauty And Modernity, With Some Vineyards, Markets, A Convention Center, And Even A Few Mansions Around, And At The Intersection, She Spots An EASE Dodge Charger SRT8 Patrol Unit, It Will Definitely Spot Her As Soon As She Gets Close.
Jailey: I Got A Patrol Ahead.
Wildrose: (Comms) Well, Focus Up, Get Out Of There. And Jailey Immediately Floors It And Blasts Past The Intersection And The Patrol Unit Immediately Starts Flashing It's Lights And Blaring It's Siren And Guns It After Jailey's DB11.
Male EASE Patrol: (Intercom) Stop!, Now!. And The Two Begin Racing Down Grapevine Drive At Speed, With Jailey's DB11 Volante Proving Plenty Faster Immediately.
Male EASE Patrol: (Comms) This Is Patrol 7, I Got Eyes On A Light Blue Aston Martin DB11 Volante On The Run, Down Grapevine Drive, We Had Eyes For This One.
Female EASE Dispatch: (Comms) All Units In Redview Park, We Have A Patrol Unit In A Pursuit Down Grapevine Drive, Be On Lookout For A Light Blue Aston Martin DB11 Volante. And Jailey Being A Lot Faster Than The Charger SRT8 Patrol Quickly Leaves The Patrol Behind.
Male EASE Patrol: (Comms) I Don't See That 2440 Anymore, Dispatch.
Female EASE Dispatch: (Comms) The Suspect Dusted Pursuing Unit On Grapevine Drive, Escalating This To Condition 2. And Jailey Does A Quick Hairpin Drift Onto A Dirt Road Between The Mansions And While Driving Down Said Dirt Road..
Female EASE Dispatch: (Comms) All Units, Return To Patrols Until Further Notice, We'll Worry About This One Another Time.
Wildrose: (Comms) I Heard That, Good Job Losing Them, Now, I Got A Faceoff Event For You, It's In Fairhaven Bay, You Should Get Over.
Jailey: Roger That. And Once Jailey Gets Back Onto The Main Road, She Floors It, Now On The Trip To Fairhaven Bay.
Timeskip: 20 Minutes Later..., Ripley's Point, Fairhaven Bay, Night Elston Region, 6:57PM. Jailey Is Rushing Through The Ripley's Point Area Of The Very Urbanized Fairhaven Bay At High Speed, And She Races Onto Connors Bridge, Which Connects Ripley's Point To The Downtown Area And Power Drifts Through Every Consecutive Corner, Since All Of Them Are Rather Tight, And Dashes Through A Tollgate At Over 200MPH, Where An EASE Ford Interceptor Patrol Unit Was Parked, To Which It Immediately Guns It After Her, But Jailey Keeps Her Foot In, Not Worrying About It And Plunges Into The Tunnel And Power Drifts Through Some More Corners, Before Dashing Out Of The Tunnel Into The Downtown Area, Immediately Greeted By Lots Of Tall Buildings, And Notices A Dark Space Beside The Street, Right Next To The Wall Of A Small Park Area, And Immediately Slams On The Brakes And Flawlessly Drifts Right Into The Dark Space And Immediately Kills The Engine, Cutting The Lights, And Waiting, And After About 30 Seconds, The Patrol Unit Flys Past Down The Street, Not Even Noticing Her DB11 In The Shadows.
Jailey: Wildrose, Please Tell Me The Faceoff Is Nearby.
Wildrose: (Comms) Yes, Right Around The Corner Actually, Lucky You. And Jailey Starts The Engine Again And Gets The Lights Back On And Drives Through A Brick Alley Street And Sure Enough, The Start Line Setup Is Right There, And Her Competitor Is Already Lined Up, A Black Lotus Exige Cup 260 With Orange Decals, Jailey Recognized That Car, It Belonged To A Guy Codenamed Citt-C, And Once Jailey Lined Up, Citt-C Immediately Sent Her A Linkup Door On Her SpeedPad And She Accepted And The Route Popped Up On Her Radar, And Two Girls Immediately Ran Up To The Starting Line And Lit Their Matches And Waved Them In The Air As Both Cars Began Burning Out, Building Up Their Thermal Boost For The Launch, And The Two Girls Ignited The Flares And The Two Speedhunters Floored It Down The Street In A Mix Of Smoke And Blue Flames.
Citt-C: (Comms) Let's See If Your Worth The Hype. And After Racing Down The Street For About Half A Mile, The Two Power Drifted Through A Right Turn And Continued Racing Through The Streets, Dodging Traffic That Comes And Neither Gaining An Advantage And They Race Across The Short Four-Laned Holden Rail Bridge Into The Mcclane Area, And They Drift Through Several Consecutive Corners Before Through The Very Fast Left Hander, Jailey Uses Her Thermal Boost To Gain An Advantage, And Citt-C Does The Same, Only To Find A Small Disadvantage In His Exige, Not Only Is It A Little Down On Power, His Single Turbo Is Starting To Peak From All The Throttle Work From Drifting, And This Allows Jailey To Cross The Finish Line First, And The Two Immediately Shed Off Speed.
Citt-C: (Comms) Alright, Your Good, I'll Give You That, But Don't Let It Go To Your Head, I'll See Some Other Time. And Citt-C Immediately Floors It Down The Street And Out Of Sight.
Jailey: Got Anything Else For Me?.
Wildrose: (Comms) Yes, I Got A Time Attack Event For You, It's In The Callahan Industrial Area, Get Over There. And Jailey Floors It Once Again And Races For Callahan Industrial.
Timeskip: 15 Minutes Later..., 7:18PM. Jailey Races Through The Callahan Industrial Area, And Once Noticing On Her Radar That She Approaching The Starting Line, She Immediately Slows Down And Comes To A Complete Stop, Lined Up, The Start Line Setup Is Pretty Much The Same, Except The Grid Is Much More Center, Forcing All Cars Into A Single File Line, Probably Because They Are Sending Each Car Out One At A Time.
Timeskip: 10 Minutes Later..., 7:30PM. All 16 Cars Are Lined Up, And It's Time For The Time Attack Event, Jailey Remembers That These Events Actually Measure Times Of Competitors Through Average Speed, So, Jailey Has To Be The Fastest Throughout.

And As The Cars Start Getting Sent Out, Jailey Looks In Her Mirror And Sees Skye In The Driver's Seat Of Her Rare Silver Lamborghini Aventador J (Well, Rarity Is No Problem Whatsoever If You Have Access To An Exclusive Car Dealer That Copycat Builds Whatever Car You Request And Not Shipping It And Going Through All That Trouble And Paperwork), Skye Is Only A Bit Older Than Jailey, She Looks About 30, She Has Short Brunette Hair, Appears To Be Wearing A Grey Open Coat With Brown Driving Gloves And A Pearl Necklace, And She's Also Wearing Silver Framed Clear Glasses, Similarly Like Afis In Her Ariel Atom V8, Split Point In His Aventador J, And As Jailey Remembers, Spectre With His Mercedes SLR McLaren Stirling Moss, All Wear Glasses Behind The Wheel Of Their Cars, Probably Because Their Cars Lack Windshields, And Jailey Sees Skye Smirk At Her In Her Mirror And Does A Kiss Gesture At Her While Brushing Her Hair Back, To Which Jailey Chuckles At Her With Her Own Smirk And A Slight Redness In Her Face And Does A Finger Wiggling Gesture In The Air Back At Skye, Before Noticing That It's About To Be Her Turn To Run, And Watches As Split Point Burns Out To Build Up His Thermal Boost, Before One Guy Thrusts A Flare Downward At His Side, And Split Point Speeds Off Down The Road And Around The Corner, And Jailey Pulls Up To The Start Line Right As He Disappears From Sight.
Skye: (Comms) You're Certainly A Looker Darling, Let's See How You Dance. And Jailey Immediately Starts Burning Out To Build Up Her Thermal Boost And Once The Guy Raises Her Flare In The Air And Thrusts It Downward Again, She Immediately Floors It Down The Road And Around The Left Hand Turn, And Once All The Way Around The Turn, She Immediately Races Left, Down Into The Waterway And Races Through It At High Speed, Before Drifting Left Into The Tunnel, And Runs Through That For Half A Mile Before Finally Blasting Out Of It, And After Another Mile, Jailey Merges To The Right And Up An Exit Ramp And Out Of The Waterway Before Drifting Right, Back Onto The Road, And After Drifting Through A Right Turn Onto Another Straight, She Approaches The Express-92 Overpass, And Drifts Left Onto The Exit And Into The Oncoming Lanes At High Speed, Heading West, And After Running In The Oncoming Lanes For A Mile, She Spots An Opening In-Between Both Sides Of The Highway, And She Swerves Across The Dirt And Into The Correct Lanes And Continues To Race At High Speed, Now Towards North Fairhaven Bay, Into The Mountains, And After A Few More Miles Of Racing Down Express 92 At Over 200MPH, Jailey Spots The Marked Finish Line, On A Dirt Ledge Off The Highway, In Front Of A Billboard, Well, A Smashed Billboard, As The Speedhunters Ahead Has Already Finished, And She Merges Onto The Dirt And Dashes Across The Finish Line And Speeds Off The Edge, And Flys Through The Air, Before Landing Safely And Jailey Slams On The Brakes And Drifts To A Stop, And Takes A Minute To Catch Her Breathe Before Looking Around, She Appears To Be In An Airplane Graveyard Of Sorts.
Jailey: Where Am I?.
Wildrose: (Comms) Hodges Airfield, Kid, This Place Used To Be The Main Land Of Aviation Before HIA Was Built, Of Course, It Still See's Action, Speedhunter Action Of Course. And Jailey Spots An EASE BMW I8 Patrol Unit Hiding Around The Corner Of A Hangar.
Male EASE Patrol: (Comms) I Got A 2440 In My Sights, Give The Word And I Will Engage.
Jailey: I Got A Spy In My Sights.
Wildrose: (Comms) Take Him Down Before He Locks A Track On You. And Jailey Immediately Guns It Towards The Patrol, To Which The I8 Also Guns It The Opposite Direction, Lights Flashing And Sirens Blaring.
Male EASE Patrol: (Comms) I'm Being Engaged By The Speedhunter, Patrol 16 Is Showing Lights, The Suspect Is Confirmed To Be The Same DB11 Volante From Before.
Male EASE Dispatch: (Comms) All Units, We've Sited A Previous Suspect, Get Moving. And Jailey Quickly Rear-Ends The Patrol, Which Obviously Did A Lot Of Damage To Much Weaker Modified I8, As It Is A Patrol Unit, And Then, Combos That By Pitting The Patrol On The Right Front, Hitting The Wheel, Which Would Damage The Suspension.
Male EASE Patrol: (Intercom) I'd Advise Against Hitting My Car Asshole!. And Jailey Proceeds To Rear-End The I8 Again, And Then Hit It Again On The Right Rear, Which Is All It Takes For The Patrol Car To Give Out From Damage As It Spins To A Stop And Jailey Stops With It.
Male EASE Patrol: (Comms) My Car's Down, I Need Backup.
Male EASE Dispatch: (Comms) We Got Report Of A Unit Down, We Are Escalating To Condition 5. And Jailey Quickly Hops Out Of Her Aston Martin And Runs Over To The I8 Patrol, And Opens The Driver's Side Door And Blocks The Officers Incoming Punch And Proceeds To Grab And Slam His Head Against The Steering Wheel Three Times, Before Grabbing His MDC Laptop And Throwing It On The Ground And Stomping On It, Smashing It In, And Then, Jailey Hears A Car Approaching And Looks Back To See Skye's Aventador J Pulling Up.
Skye: I Saw That Darling!, Really Nice Dancing!, Now, Get Back In There, Get Out Of Here!. Jailey Nods And Runs Back To Her Aston Martin As Skye Speeds Off, And Hops Back In Before Flooring It.
Male EASE Dispatch: (Comms) We've Just Lost Contact With Patrol 16, Aerial 3, Can You Acquire A Visual On That Suspect?. While Driving Down The Airfield, Jailey Spots The Aerial Unit In The Distance And She Immediately Swerves And Stops Beside A Hangar And Kills The Engine And Lights As The Aerial Shines It's Spotlights Around The Land.
Female EASE Aerial: (Comms) I've Just Reached Hodges Airfield, Looking For Them. And Jailey Waits For The Aerial Unit To Start Hovering In The Opposite Direction, And Once It Does, She Quickly Starts The Engine Again And Speeds Inside Of The Hangar And Stops In A Corner Before Killing The Engine And Lights Again, And Has To Wait A Further Few Minutes Before She Hears The Aerial Unit Flying Away.
Female EASE Aerial: (Comms) Dispatch, I Don't Have A Tally On The Target, Returning To Base.
Male EASE Dispatch: (Comms) Roger That, Pursuit Called Off.
Wildrose: (Comms) Well Kid, That's Your Speedlist Done, Now, You Should Get Moving Before Any More EASE Units Show Up, You Know How To Escape The Action, Look For A Ventilator Entrance To Get Off The Radar. Jailey Couldn't Help But Be A Bit Dejected By The Realization That She Has Already Completed Her Speedlist, She Doesn't Really Want To Leave The Action.
Jailey: Ah, To Bad, I Was Having Fun.
Wildrose: (Comms) Hey, You Can Keep Racing If You Want, It's Your Choice, Just Remember, If You're Gonna Get In More Trouble, Don't Get Caught, You Already Know What Happens.
Jailey: Okay, I'll Keep That In Mind, So, Anything Else I Could Enter Around Here?.
Wildrose: (Comms) Well, Not Around This Particular Area, But In Case You Wanted To Push It, I Made Sure To Hold An Entry For You In Another Sprint Event Over In The Borderlands, It Doesn't Start Till Midnight Though, But That's No Problem, Because We Actually Orchestrate For All Competitors In Events To Gather At The Nearby Meetups If They Arrive Over 30 Minutes Before The Event, Don't Daddle Though, Get Over There As Quick As You Can, I'll Let The Organizers Know About Your Entry.
Jailey: Alright, And Thank You. And Jailey Starts The Engine Again And Floors It Out Of The Hangar And Up The Dirt Path Out Of The Airfield And Begins The Trip To The Borderlands.
Timeskip: 2 Hours Later..., Marshall Hills Village, Borderlands Region, 9:58PM. Jailey Was Finally In The Rural Borderlands Region And Approaching Marshall Hills Village, She Had Never Been Here Much In The Past, But She Had To Admit That It Was A Vibe, It Was Quiet, And Not Many People Around, Especially Not At Night, And She Spotted The Marshall Hills Drive-In Theater, Where The Meetup Was, And Immediately Slowed Down Before Driving Through The Entrance, She Could Already Hear Music Playing, And Their Were A Bunch Of Cars Around The Drive-In, All Of Them Were Speedhunter Cars, Old And New, All Of Them Very Nice, Carbon Fiber Porsche 918 Spyder With Green Decals And A Racing Bodykit, A Silver Lamborghini Countach LPI, A Red And Multi-Colored Ford GT With A Widebody Kit, An Orange Lamborghini Aventador S With A Widebody Kit And More, Much, Much, More, And While Looking For A Spot, She Comes Across Citt-C's Exige And Spots Citt-C's Sitting On The Hood Of His Exige, Staring At Jailey As She Drives Past, And Then, Later On Down The Road, She Spots Skye's Aventador J, And Looks The Other Way, To Spot Skye Standing By A Table, And Winking At Her As She Drives By With Her Now Revealed Charming Brown Eyes As She Isn't Wearing Her Glasses Anymore For Obvious Reasons, And Jailey Continues To Drive Down The Road, And Finally Finds A Spot Between Two Very Familiar Cars, Rapier's Silver Lamborghini Urus And Elucid's Black Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, And The Two Immediately Notice Her And Turn To Her, They Seem To Recognize Her, Elucid Is Laying On The Hood Of Her Charger, And Rapier Is Just Standing Next To Her Urus, And Jailey Steps Out Of Her DB11 And Elucid Immediately Stands Up From Her Charger.
Elucid: Well, Well, Seems Someone's Finally Joined Us Out Here.
Jailey: Your, Elucid, Right?.
Elucid: Yes, But For You, Lose The D, Just Call Me Eluci. Jailey Is A Little Bit Caught Off Guard By Elucid Being So Much..., Like Jailey Herself Towards Her Immediately After Meeting Again After Quite A While, She Didn't Get To See This Side Of Her At The Wyndams The Night Of Her Escape.
Jailey: Uh, Right, Eluci, So, I Haven't Seen You At All Since "That Night", How Have You Two Been?. Both Elucid And Rapier Seem To Fall Serious At The Mention Of "That Night".
Rapier: We've Been Fine, By The Way, We Heard That You Aren't Even From Here, Oryanthia, Correct?.
Jailey: Um., Yes?.
Rapier: "Sigh" Society In East Apollo Is Much Different In More Ways Than One Compared To Other Countries. Jailey Had Already Heard About The Society Of East Apollo From The Wyndams, But It Really Only Regarded It For The Speedhunters And The EASE Mainly.
Jailey: So, How Exactly Does The Society In This Country Work Really?. The Two Women Look At Each Other For A Second Before Gesturing For Jailey To Follow Them, And They Take A Five Minute Walk Up A Hill Away From The Drive-In And Up To A Sort Of Lookout Area, Overlooking A Market Street.
Rapier: Anything Else You Wanna Ask Before We Start?.
Jailey: Um, Yes, Are You Two Related By Any Chance?.
Both: We're Sisters. Jailey Honestly Wasn't To Surprised By That Answer, The Two Look Strikingly Similar, But Now, She Wanted To Know About The Society.
Jailey: Hm..., Well?. The Sisters Look Out From The Lookout, And Gesture For Jailey To Stand Next To Them, And She Does.
Jailey: Hm?.
Rapier: You Know Those American Stories, About Those Old Westerns, Where The Cowboys Make A Run For The Border?. Jailey Thinks For A Second Before Nodding.
Rapier: For People In The World Of Broad Daylight, This Country Is Their Mexico, For Outcasts Like Us, It's Our America.
Jailey: I Can Sort Of Get That.
Elucid: And Believe It Or Not, Some People Are Actually Born Outcasts And Never Given A Chance In The Brighter World Whatsoever, Or They're Just Pulled In Without Will, Like You, I Was Only At High School Age When Big Sis Here Became A Speedhunter And Pulled Me Along, So I'm In The Same Boat, Kindred Spirits!. Jailey Could Certainly Tell Where Elucid Was Coming From, Although, The Circumstances Were Very Different, And Only One Of Them Truly Brought It On Themself, It Still Had The Same Result.
Jailey: Wow, I Guess You Are Kinda Like Me.
Elucid: Point Is, All Of The People Who Choose To Comfortably In The World Of Broad Daylight, Have Been Trained To Watch Their P's And Q's From Day One, The Government Runs A Pretty Tight Ship, It's Why The Crime Rates Are Generally Low, It's Why Eight Out Of Ten Things In This Country Are Crimes Regardless, In Other Words, It's The Only Way They Know, It's No Wonder Not A Lot Of Those That Are Outcasted Actually Survive Long. Rapier Then Gestures Down To The Crowds Of People Walking Through The Market Street Below.
Rapier: Like All Those People Down There, They Follow The Rules For What?..., They're Letting Fear Lead Them. Jailey Grew A Bit Unsettled By That, She Had Already Felt The Consequences Of Being A Speedhunter.
Jailey: What Happens If They Don't?.
Rapier: Life's Simple, You Make Choices And You Don't Look Back. Jailey And Rapier Proceed To Stare Into Each Other's Eyes, Until Elucid Breaks In.
Elucid: Hey, The Race Is Due To Start Soon, We Should Head Back.
Rapier: ...Yeah, Maybe We Should. And The Trio Walk Away From The Lookout And Back Down Towards The Drive-In.
