It took next to no time to load the equipment.\u00a0 Not only were the pieces designed to be portable, she brought a few mechanical workers with her.\u00a0 Three headless long-armed machines with wheeled legs stood ready to assist with any project.\u00a0 With the push of a button and a few directions they raced out of her ship and toward in all directions.<\/p>\n
Next to no time was still too long for Adrianne.\u00a0 The Mech War changed everything about the life she knew.\u00a0 The one responsible for that war was at the research lab showing signs of life though she was not quite alive anymore.\u00a0 Adrianne wanted to be the first person to speak with her.<\/p>\n
She went into her ship, Silent Blur, knowing that her workers would finish faster without her help.\u00a0 She spent the time instead on a brisk walk back to her ship to prepare for launch.<\/p>\n
Reaching Silent Blur, she immediately turned off the radio.\u00a0 There seemed to be a very underhanded move played by one of the racers to gain a lead.\u00a0 However exciting a development it was, getting back to the research lab was too important to make any mistakes.<\/p>\n
Walking towards the forward control station, she sat and gave a quick salute to a small sailboat floating in purple liquid encased in a clear globe.\u00a0 “Aye Captain,” she said almost jokingly.\u00a0 The small device, Captain Bubbles, had many purposes. \u00a0Several devices in the ship told her about the direction, acceleration, and gravity forces working on the Silent Blur.\u00a0 Though well and good, a quick look to the good captain told her all those things and more.\u00a0 It also doubled as an amazing air freshener.\u00a0 Black Cherry Blast was the current scent.\u00a0 Not her favorite, but still quite good.<\/p>\n
With the a few flips of switches, Silent Blur came to life.\u00a0 A few seconds later, her equipment, workers, and defensive droids were all secured into her ship.\u00a0 With a quick leap and activated wing thrusters, she launched into the sky.\u00a0 In no time, she was well on her way back to Rubin’s Trail at full speed.<\/p>\n
Like the vehicles in the E-Ville Racing tournament, Silent Blur uses retractable wings to fly or a retractable weighted tail run like a squirrel.\u00a0 Flying over the tree canopy was by far the fastest route back to Rubin’s Trail.<\/p>\n
In a way, AD7 was her hero as well as a warning.\u00a0 From looking at AD7, Adrianne was encouraged to look at the Mech Talents with new respect.\u00a0 She even decided to discard her Gunner Talents for the Mech Talents.\u00a0 Machines held incredible power, but the search for such great power without self-discipline could cause one to go mad.\u00a0 Something about AD7\u2019s story told her that it was possible to bring AD7 back to humanity.\u00a0 Adrianne would be the first to speak with her, but she had to get back as fast as possible.<\/p>\n
In her rush to get back to the castle, she almost missed the blip on her radar.\u00a0 As a courtesy, she sank closer to the canopy to allow a potentially larger ship by.\u00a0 However, a quick glance in her rear monitor revealed no ship following her.<\/p>\n
Slightly alarmed, she quickly shot a ping of her surroundings checking for a half second of relative motion.\u00a0 Everything was a blur except three ships.\u00a0 Every ship was moving in her direction.<\/p>\n
She knew full well that she was well outside any transport lanes.\u00a0 Even if she was inside their lanes, there would not be three transports obviously following her.<\/p>\n
This was exactly what she could do without right now.<\/p>\n
“Gankers.”<\/p>\n
