::Hops in the vehicle::  CEO:  Looks like we better move it Brynn
FCO_Knight says:
::Watches Ganymede fizzle away in transporter light and nods to Jay::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Starts moving:: CSO: In Your dreams.....
CEO_Michaels says:
Coreena: Because I'd rather have had a hand in the safety of the vehicle, than the driving of it.  I'm a pilot first and foremost, there's not a thing I can't drive.  ::Grins::
Coreena says:
::Wondering what a forfeit is::
CEO_Michaels says:

FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Whatever you say, Commanda.
EO_Davidson says:
::Runs up to the CO/CEO:: CO/CEO: Sir's...There are 5 point harness you have to use. In the event of a crash the capsule will dislodge from the main drive and skid to a safe spot. Heating units have been placed on the fuel lines for when you hit the tundra area of the course. Good luck sirs
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*CMO* I'm sure it'll be fine, and if not, you can just use more of your copious spare time to fix us, huh? ::Grinning::

::From inside the car:: FCO: You coming?

MO_Cutter says:
::Makes sure she has all her supplies handy::
Coreena says:
::Too many people... stops and takes a deep breath.::
CSO_Spear says:
TO: So ya bet we'll win......we kinna do anything but!
CMO_Roxton says:
::Moves back from the vehicle and hopes he isn't going to be busy::
Host XO_Spear says:
CTO: Just be sure and win...and come back in one piece
Host Grand_Marshall says:
::Waves a checkered flag::
CSO_Spear says:
::Turns around looking for her daughter.......seeing her, takes her hand and pulls her over to her::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*MO*: Try to resist the urge to up the live insurance premium, huh?
Coreena says:
::Sighs in deep relief, staying close::
CSO_Spear says:
::Smiles:: Coreena: It's okay, luvy....this should be fun!
CEO_Michaels says:
::Slams the gas pedal to the floor as they take off::
MO_Cutter says:
*CO* Ha ha.  Very funny, flyboy.  Kick some hiney... but come back in one piece, hmmm?
Host XO_Spear says:
<w>EO: You didn't 'add' anything I didn't know about did you?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Sir.... permission to head back to the ship sir take a shuttle and monitor both teams from orbit or use it to meet them at each check point?
Coreena says:
CSO:  Are you sure?  ::Looks very uncertain not to mentioned worried.::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Their car takes off in hot pursuit of the others::
EO_Davidson says:
::Smiles::  XO: Few safety enhancements sir
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Nice pickup... ::said pressed hard against the back seat::
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: the crowd laughs as one federation car sits at the line
Host XO_Spear says:
::irritated:: EO: Jay, we've got everything we need right here. Why do you think we went to the bother of setting it up?
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Of course...Is there a reason ye are apprehensive?
Host XO_Spear says:
Self: Damn
Coreena says:
::Looks around::  CSO:  There are so many people and some of them look... not kind.
MO_Cutter says:
::Wonders why the 2nd car isn't moving::
TO_Sharpe says:
Self: oi come on lads!
CEO_Michaels says:
::Eases up slightly so as to not stress the engine and takes a quick look back at the other team lagging::  CO: Must be the driving, the design is brilliant.  ::Grins::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Plugs in the coordinates of the first waypoint::  CEO:  Head thata way Brynn.
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: We should be fine.  This is just a contest.... we were challenged....
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Well, go.
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Looks back and grins::  CEO:  Sucks to be them.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Floors it and catches the pack quickly, drafting behind some of the lead cars::
Coreena says:
CSO:  I still do not fully understand the concept of fun and competition.  But that is OK.  What exactly are we supposed to do?
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Aye aye sir.  ::Mock salutes and follows the directions::
FCO_Knight says:
::Reads his console and prays::
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Have you got anything coming in?
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: What ever the Captain needs, we are in charge of gettin' fer him.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Direct me.... what nasty things are coming up on the course soon?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Sir I know. But I just thought that we could use the shuttle to get better readings and pick them up if we have to...
Coreena says:
CSO:  But... isn't that what we normally do?
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Keep ya bra on! I'm scannin' Just drive!
CMO_Roxton says:
::Wanders over to the CSO and happens to overhear::  CSO: Hopefully that doesn't include medical aide...
Host XO_Spear says:
EO: Belay that entire idea right now. You are staying with us, is that clear?
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: But we'll have ta do it faster ta beat the other teams now...
CEO_Michaels says:
::Looks around at the controls and frowns::  CO: Wonder what that one's for...::points to a button::
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Aye.
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: Exactly...Ah'd be glad ye are the CMO if the CO needs surgery.   ::Playful smirk::
Coreena says:
CSO:  I can move fast... but you will have to tell me what exactly is wanted.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Starts at his comment, but stays silent and drives::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Errrrr....  do we really want to try it?
Coreena says:
::Looks at the doctor::
Host XO_Spear says:
*CTO*: How it going there Ash?
CMO_Roxton says:
CMO: ::imagines Keely in that situation::  Oh ya..  My MO would likely kill me.  Or try anyway
CSO_Spear says:
::Puts her arm around her daughter and squeezes her shoulder:: Coreena: Of course we will, Luvy.  But we'll even be able to use shuttles etc if we need ta.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*XO* We're drafting in the pack right now, looking for an opening::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: No, because then I'll have to fix it.  ::Laughs as he changes the route slightly to avoid some rougher terrain that would slow them down::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  I show that the Falcon is in the pack with everyone else.
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: Killer is bumped hard by another racer and slips into the gravel on the side of the road
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Well... you haven't lost your driving touch...  we're in the lead.
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Position?
CEO_Michaels says:
::Yells things that shouldn't be yelled by an officer as he struggles to regain control::
Coreena says:
CMO:  Why would the MO kill you?  Do you wish to cease to exist?
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Err.. the road would be good Brynn
EO_Davidson says:
::Sits down on a patch of  grass::
Host XO_Spear says:
*CTO*: Understood Ash, do your best.
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: You speak too soon, you jynx us...::gets the car back on the pavement::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Watch that gravel and these lunatics, Ash!
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Shares an ancient gesture with the other car....  Hawaiian good luck symbol::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  In the middle Sir.
CSO_Spear says:
TO/CMO/Coreena: Let's head to one of the shuttles Ah had flown down.  We kin monitor their progress from there.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: So noted... looks like the Killer is the one having gravel problems though. ::Scanning for an opening and not finding one::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  And it’s being blocked in.
Coreena says:
::Nods and follows, still wondering about the doctor.::
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: Aye ma'am
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Good work monitoring, keep me appraised
CSO_Spear says:
::Catches the look on her daughter's face:: Coreena: What's wrong?
CMO_Roxton says:
CSO: Are we allowed to use them?
Host XO_Spear says:
Self: Damn!
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Aye Sir.
EO_Davidson says:
::Gets back up:: XO: Sorry if I stepped out of line sir.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Get just left of the car in front of us....
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: Shouldn’t one o' us stay behind to repair if they need it?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Moves it to the left:: FCO: Opening?
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Now!!!!
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Floors it::
CMO_Roxton says:
Coreena: She would do that if I managed to let the Captain die
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: We sure are.... We are just nay allowed ta touch the entry itself, but we kin use the shuttle ta get stuff ta them.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Nice work
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: No worries, love!
CSO_Spear says:
TO: Well we'll be monitoring them and we kinna touch the entry anyway, so that willna not help us a whole lot.  But good thinking.
CEO_Michaels says:
::Jockeys for position and falls in directly behind one of the other vehicles::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Nods and follows the CSO with his gear::  CSO: Should provide a decent field hospital if necessary
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Okay Brynn... I'm not impressed with second... let's get around %*(^% face.
Host XO_Spear says:
*FCO*: Othello, you're obviously to use all means at your disposal to win. You two should work well together. ::Smiles::
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: aye ma'am ::follows to the Shuttle::
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: Exactly...Hopefully we willna need it.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grins as they get around yet another car::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: I'm all for it...::pulls to the side and tries to pass on the inside curve::
Coreena says:
::Whispers::  How does the captains death relate to the CMO's?
FCO_Knight says:
*XO* Thanks for the vote o' confidence, mate! CTO: Watch that bum on ya right!
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Ah'm nay sure Ah understand ya.
EO_Davidson says:
XO: What can I do to help?
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: the Killer is cut off and cannot pass
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grips the wheel tightly and curses at the other driver::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Don't go and get hissy! Bump 'im back!
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Growls::  CEO:  Where is the damn phaser button?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Who was the mook that wouldn't let me put weapons on the thing?
Host XO_Spear says:
EO: I think it's mostly a wait and see for us, unless something goes wrong.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Cap'n.
Coreena says:
CSO:  The CMO said that he would die if anything happened to the captain.
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Aye...Seems like we are doing well though. 
CEO_Michaels says:
::Pushes the car to it's maximum as they catch up side by side with the head car of this pack::
MO_Cutter says:
::Wonders if there might be somewhere she could curl up and have a nap until she's needed.. if she's needed::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Shame we can't throw something at them...
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Oh, yeah that whole thing about "not directly interfering with another person's race:.....  ::thinks if no one else is following it why should they, and concentrates on getting by the car ahead of them::
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Well...He didna mean literally die...but he would not be happy to treat the CO if something happened.
FCO_Knight says:
::Diligently watches over everything:: CTO: You have an opportunity to get a little headway and some space from these fools if you floor it in 'bout two seconds.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Counts ONE, TWO and floors::
Host XO_Spear says:
EO: Look, I didn't mean to be short with you. We can dispatch a shuttle at a moments notice if need be. Lets just hope we don't need to.
Coreena says:
::Slowly nods her head and looks over at the CMO::  CMO:  I can treat the captain if you don't want to.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grins as several racers are left in their dust, moving around to get a few more::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  See if we can nudge this jerk a little...  just remind him we're here.
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  It looks like the Falcon is passing several of the other vehicles.
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: Ma'am permission to check out the Fair?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Maneuvering the car to the inside so they have a shorter distance to pass::
CMO_Roxton says:
Coreena: I'm sure your capable.  But I figure its part of the job description of the CMO position.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Good work. Ease back a bit on th' throttle. I don't wanna overheat early.
Host XO_Spear says:
::Moves over to the display:: CNS: Excellent. They're gaining.
EO_Davidson says:
XO:I under stand sir. But I was going to prepare it just in case we need to use it. We can land it somewhere close
Coreena says:
CMO:  OK.
CSO_Spear says:
TO: Aye...ye sure may...Just stay within distance where ye are able to quickly get back.
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Will do.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Eases just a little and focuses on strategy rather than sheer speed, keeping to the inside::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: I thought you'd never ask.  ::Grins evilly as he swerves over just enough to make contact with the vehicle next to them, then floors it to pass him::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Distracted:: EO There are plenty of crewmembers on board to man a shuttle if need be. CNS: They're gaining again!
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: aye ma'am MO: Ye want to come too Ma'am?
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Keep her steady and watch out for the shoulder. That's fresh paint.
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Aye sir. Shall we get to the next checkpoint?
MO_Cutter says:
::Shakes herself from her thoughts:: TO: Hmmm?  What’s that?
CSO_Spear says:
TO: Well fer now, Ah'll monitor...But thank ya fer asking....::Smiles brightly::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Gotcha ::eyes on the Killer, itching to catch up::
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CSO*  Chris... we're coming up on the first checkpoint... everything seems okay so far.
Host XO_Spear says:

MO_Cutter says:
::Smiles wanly at the CSO and TO::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Hope you can read that terrain map real good, because outright speed isn't going to get us very far with this next leg.
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO: ::laughs:: aye ma'am Ah'll check in with you every 10 minutes or so?
Coreena says:
::Looks at the MO::  MO:  Do you feel alright?
CSO_Spear says:

CSO_Spear says:
TO: Sounds excellent.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  I'm on it... the big pointy things way up in the sky are mountains.
Host Grand_Marshall says:
After two hours the racers are well under way and the pack is strung out. Passes are more seldom and the drivers and pilots are settling in for the long haul
MO_Cutter says:
::Chokes back a laugh:: CSO: Riiiight.
TO_Sharpe says:
CSO/MO: well, shall we?
MO_Cutter says:

Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Gotta like that!
TO_Sharpe says:
::Looks around at the fair::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: We may want to pit for a quick check over. Not necessary, but it might be a good idea in the long run.
Coreena says:
CSO:  Are we having fun?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: noted. *XO* Scratch that Cmdr, we're stopping for a short pit to check the car over before the mountains... have the team ready if you would
Host XO_Spear says:
*CTO*: Will do
CSO_Spear says:
::Looks over at her daughter:: Coreena: Um....Well....Ah suppose.....::Pulls her daughter close in a hug::
CMO_Roxton says:
*CO/CEO* How are you gentlemen holding up?  You may wish to take a quick stop and stretch before the next leg.  Regardless of comfort, you will stiffen up eventually.
CSO_Spear says:
*Killer team*: We're takin' off in 2 minutes.  Ah'd like ya all in the shuttle.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Moves around another car, working at closing the gap between them and the lead::
Coreena says:
::Returns the hug::  CSO:  Does the new rank mean more changes?
CMO_Roxton says:
::Still behind the CSO::  CSO: Affirmative
Host XO_Spear says:
Team A; Prepare for site to site beam out/in of the entire array of tools
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: We're supposed to get motivation from him, not medical advice...
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  You heard the Doc. wanna stop or you good to go?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: It's all ready sir. Tools are still in their packs
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Let's humor him and take a two-minute, it won't hurt our standings.
FCO_Knight says:
::Scans the upcoming terrain:: CTO: There aren't too many straigh'aways in the moun'ains. Slow an' steady'll get us through there. Your focus is key, Ash.
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Why, of course nay, luvy.....It means nothin' other than Ah'm closer ta a position Ah will never take.
CEO_Michaels says:

Host CO_Cutter says:
*CMO*  Acknowledged

*TO*: Ye need ta be back at the shuttle 2 minutes ago...We'll be back in a few minutes...
MO_Cutter says:
::Stops suddenly, just staring:: TO: What is THAT?!
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: There are a few straight points. That'll be our chance to stick it to 'em.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Stops:: MO: what is what?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grins:: FCO: That's what I like to hear...
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: You know, you navigate so well; I'd think you were a pilot.
Host XO_Spear says:
::Contacts the transporter team and has them beam the three of them and their equipment from site to site::
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: With a new rank?  Nay really...It's a nice recognition...it lets me know the Captain is pleased with me work.

TO_Sharpe says:
MO: I have no idea...but we need to be back to shuttle
CNS_Hills says:
::Sees the car approaching::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: I knew you would. Just focus on not wreckin' us. Pass that guy ahead of us. Veer lef' an puch it!
CEO_Michaels says:
::Steps out and stretches::  EO: Yeah, but next time you design one of these...think comfort.  ::Rubs his back::
Host CO_Cutter says:
EO:  Thanks...  Brynn's driving well.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Veers left, passes, then gets back in the lane to stop at the checkpoint::
Coreena says:
::Begins the start up procedures, as Baffi had taught her.::
CEO_Michaels says:
EO: And the Captain's real good at pointing.  ::Laughs::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Run a quick external scan on the vehicle... let's make sure we're okay.
EO_Davidson says:
CEO:I umm sorta designed it for a person my size...but I get the point sir. 
Coreena says:
::Looks around her::  All:  Is everyone ready?
EO_Davidson says:
CO: He hasn't crashed it yet?
EO_Davidson says:
::Laughs::
FCO_Knight says:
::Reads the scanner:: CTO: We're less than a 2 minutes from the Cap'n and Brynn.
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Aye...
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Gotcha.  ::Walks around the vehicle inspecting it, both with his eyes and a tricorder::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  They should be here in 1 minute 30 seconds.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*XO*: We’re a minute and 30 away, have the team ready to scan for needed repairs, if you would.
MO_Cutter says:
::Nods and heads back with the TO::
Coreena says:
::Lifts the shuttle and heads towards the coordinates given her.::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Correction 1 minute.
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Good work, be prepared to give them whatever they need. ::Turns and smiles:: Got any water?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Sees the checkpoint up ahead and begins to slow on the approach to it::
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Yes I have water.  ::Smiles::
FCO_Knight says:
::Vehemently watches over the gauges and readouts::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Pulls in and overhears the CNS:: CNS: Good, cuz I need some ::grins and jumps out::

CEO: How's she running?
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: great they left without us...
CNS_Hills says:
CTO:  Here you go.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Ready to go?
MO_Cutter says:
TO: er.... oops?
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: They're here, isn't that our cue to leave?  ::Grins::
Coreena says:
::Flies the shuttle with care and grace::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Takes it, drinks quickly, and bends over to stretch briefly, ignoring Brynn's comment::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Gets back in::  CEO:  Let's hit it, Mister
CEO_Michaels says:
::Puts his tricorder away and hops in the car, starting up the engine::
FCO_Knight says:
EO: Good. Check the tires. I doan wanna lose 'em up in the moun'ains.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
Team A: How's the car?  Does anything need to be done with it?
CEO_Michaels says:
::Floors it out of the pit, kicking up dust on the other team members::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Had intended on scanning the CO and CEO..  oh well, always next checkpoint::
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: think the Hayden can beam us to the location o' tha Shuttle?
FCO_Knight says:
Crew: Make it quick. I calculate that if we get a good run in the moun'ains, we can take the lead.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Brushes the dust off her uniform, thinking "just wait"::
Host XO_Spear says:
CTO/FCO: How are you? ::Scans:: All diagnostics show green
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Warp 9 mister
CSO_Spear says:
*CO*: Do ya need anythin’...
Coreena says:
CSO:  They did not wait; do you want me to take us to the next site?
EO_Davidson says:
CMO: You want to check their vitals...Tap into the internal sensors and get it that way
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: the cars are bunched up again after the checkpoint and the road quickly changes to switchbacks and sharp curves as the racers climb the mountains.
MO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the TO and smirks:: TO: I'm a doctor not a techie....  I have no idea.  Can't hurt to try
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CSO*  Nope!
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Grins at the report and hops back in:: XO: We’re fine, and now we're ready to roll again
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Let's get movin
Host XO_Spear says:
CTO/FCO: Take as little time as you can, and get going. ::Smiles::

CEO:  Careful on these turns... it's a long way down.
CNS_Hills says:
CTO:  Go then and win this.  ::Smiles::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Shifts down to the lower gear ranges for the steep climbs and keeps his speed down on the hairpins::
TO_Sharpe says:
COMM: Hayden: Hayden this is Ensign Sharpe 2 to beam to the shuttles location
Host XO_Spear says:
FCO: Watch her. ::Grins::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: And I don't think Jay installed impulse engines on this...
FCO_Knight says:
XO: Always do.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Make a note for me to bust him for that.  ::Grins::
Coreena says:
::Waiting for her mothers reply::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Throws it into gear and takes off, concentrating on the terrain ahead::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Laughs as they head up a steep embankment::
EO_Davidson says:
*CO/CEO*IF you have any questions sir.... ask. Davidson out
MO_Cutter says:
::Shrugs:: TO: Guess that would be a no?
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Maintain a lock on them
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Downshifts to get up the steep embankment:: FCO: What's our position?
EO_Davidson says:
XO: We are ready to head for the next checkpoint
TO_Sharpe says:
MO: I guess so....
CNS_Hills says:
XO:   Really Sir, do I have to?  ::chuckles::  You know I will.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Be careful were in a bottleneck and these idiots like to ram.
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Aye, Lass...That would be a good idea, luvy.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Eases off the throttle and keeps an eye on the other drivers:: FCO: Aye....
Host XO_Spear says:
EO: I dunno Jay. Looked like you were working for the competition. ::wry:: Maybe I should leave you......
TO_Sharpe says:
*CSO*: ma'am where can we meet you?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Admiring the handling on their car, the team obviously does good handiwork::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: We're a minute behind the Cap'n. Were catchin' up on the leaders. Doan get cocky.
Coreena says:
::Nods and checking the next coordinates, lifts the shuttle and turns it towards that direction.::
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: a car moves inside the killer on a sharp turn and edges it towards the barrier at the edge
Host XO_Spear says:
CNS: Don't you want to know where they are? ::Grins::
CSO_Spear says:
*TO*: Why dunna ye beam ta us...
EO_Davidson says:
XO: Ha-ha.....There both our colleagues
CEO_Michaels says:
::Eyes widen as he sees what's happening and yells at the other driver::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Never crossed my mind ::Grins::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Eyes widen slightly::  CEO:  Feel free to push back  ::glances down on his side::
CNS_Hills says:
XO: Maybe I do Maybe I don't.  ::Smiles::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Turns the wheel slightly so that they stay in full contact with the other car, and don't slide off::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Maneuvers onto the inside, where it's both shorter and safer::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Speed up a little here. We'll disorient the other two cars and force them to slow down.
Coreena says:
::Applies speed to make sure they get there in plenty of time this round.::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: I'd do more if we were allowed...::growls::
Host XO_Spear says:
::Walks with him:: EO: Jay, relax. This is for fun. No matter who wins. ::Thinks, yeah right::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Hits the gas a little more::
CMO_Roxton says:
::Turns to the sensor readout and finds the COs car, then picks his jaw up off the floor as he mutters in betazoid::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Glances around::  CEO:  Right now, staying on the road is good.
TO_Sharpe says:
::Beams to the shuttle::
FCO_Knight says:
CTP: There's a turn up ahead. Downshift and slow it for a nano, then punch it a bit.
EO_Davidson says:
XO:Aye.... but still I would like to see the racer I help build win
Coreena says:
::Brings the shuttle to the next site and lands it.::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Jerks the wheel over, pushing the two cars over a foot or so, so that the other car is now running up against the cliff face::
CMO_Roxton says:
*CSO* Commander..  You might want to see this..  Now would be good
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Shifts down for the turn and slows, then gasses it coming out of the turn, still on the inside::
MO_Cutter says:
::Beams with TO::
Host XO_Spear says:
EO/CNS: Prepare to beam to the next rendezvous
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: For a no contact race, these folks sure do get physical.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Thanks, Lt..  What’s next?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Laughs at the CEO's move and commences a discussion on the other drivers probable parents::
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: That would be?  ::Walks over::
EO_Davidson says:
::Packs up his tools and is ready:: XO: Ready
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  I'm always prepared Sir.
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Noticed that.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Good line, love! I'd have to say you're makin' love to the road!
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: the racer side by side with killer hit a large rock and looses a wheel
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Go ahead and land.
Host Grand_Marshall  (Explode !.wav)
FCO_Knight says:
::Smiles at the thought in his head::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Grins as he glances back quickly::  CO: Well, they won't bother us anymore.
Host XO_Spear says:
:::initiates the beaming procedure::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Looks at the CEO::  CEO:  Oops?
CMO_Roxton says:
::Points the sensor display, the vehicle now having a little room to move::  CSO: They almost got shoved off the side of the blasted mountain..  Who's our best pilot?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Raises her eyebrows and just drives::
CEO_Michaels says:
::Laughs::  CO: Did I do that?
Coreena says:
::Completes landing and keeps the shuttle on stand-by::
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: yellow flags are out for the Falcon
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: Well our current CEO or FCO would be it...There's nay anyone else who could do better.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Slow down. There’s been an accident.
CNS_Hills says:
XO:  Sir!! The Falcon has been yellow flagged.
CMO_Roxton says:
CSO: That would be available to our support team...
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Slows::
Host XO_Spear says:
*CTO*: Report
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Sees the car ahead, less one wheel, and veers around, cursing at the time this will cost them::
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*XO* A car ahead of us broke down, not to worry, we're past it now
Host CO_Cutter says:
*CTO*  Errrr.... sorry?
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: Probably Coreena here...
FCO_Knight says:
*XO*: We didn't do it, sir.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
*CO* don’t worry sir; we'll catch you yet.  ::Jovially::
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Com: Killer, you have received a warning for interference.
CMO_Roxton says:
CSO: Good.  Because I might need to be somewhere in an awful quick hurry.  These guys seem to like playing rough
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Turns to Brynn::  CEO:  If she could see over the steering wheel, she just might.  ::Grins::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Gee, and here I thought we were just leaving a calling card.
Host XO_Spear says:
*CTO*: Understood. Keep me advised. We're monitoring.
FCO_Knight says:
*XO*/CTO: Cap'n did it.
Coreena says:
::Hears her name and turns::  CSO:  You need me for something?
CEO_Michaels says:
::Bursts out laughing::  CO: Maybe I should have installed phone books.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: @#$-ing wonderful....
CSO_Spear says:
CMO: Aye...and from the look of this advisory, they are favoring the hometown entries.
CMO_Roxton says:
CSO: So it seems.  Not that I expected anything different
CSO_Spear says:
Coreena: Ah just said ye would be the next logical choice for pilot if one was needed, luvy.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Keeps to the inside and concentrates on catching up::
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Watch that tongue. Cursin's m' job.
Host Grand_Marshall says:
Action: Falcon is getting glimpses of killer between the curves
CTO_Kostandinos says:
FCO: Speak of the devil...
Coreena says:
::Blinks wondering how that happened, but feels pride that her mother would name her.::
Host XO_Spear says:
Self: Jason! ::The devil::
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Studies his readouts::  CEO:  Falcon is catching up... that's just wrong.
CSO_Spear says:
CMO:  Nay... it isn't surprising, but it still is enough ta make anyone mad.
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: Guess we'll have to change that.  ::Pushes the vehicle a bit more to keep their distance::
Host CO_Cutter says:
CEO:  Can you pick it up just a bit?  Without losing the road?
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Keeping steady on the inside, the Killer in her sights:: FCO: position?
Host CO_Cutter says:
::Notes the acceleration::  CEO:  Ahhh... never mind.
CTO_Kostandinos says:
::Increases speed just a touch to keep the Killer in view::
CEO_Michaels says:
CO: The greatest minds in the universe always think alike.
FCO_Knight says:
CTO: Doan get too close yet. Not until we have a bit more open space. If I know Brynn and the Cap'n from observation durin' this race, they'll try to force us out. Wait a bit. I'll give ya the moment to strike::
