"With your qualifications, salary would be 4400 Peace Dollars a
season," Chico rattled off. "That's pretty competative for a young
talent like yourself. Expenses, including room and food allowance are
provided through a team expense account. As for your Sidewinder, all
repairs and any necessary upgrades will be handled by the Redliners.
All this is in writing, I have a contract here on my pad, ready to sign, if
you're satisfied." Chico glanced back at Julliette's files. "Ah, well, this
is a plus. The insurance on you gear will be pretty cheap. The Colonel
will like that."

"Actually, the team needs another blocker. I think that's where, Felix,
is it?" Chico stumbled. "That's where you and Felix will shine on the
track. Of course, many times it's not the fastest gears that make it
across the finish line intact." He smiled as he pulled another swallow
from his stein.
"As for the team itself," Chico continued, we have our own mechanics
and pit crews. A general management staff that includes myself. There
are currently three gear pilots onvoard. We've got some seasoned
professionals, including one ancient racer, who is trying to make a
comeback. You should have seen him in the time trials the other day;
he was fast! That said, you'd make a fourth." He paused, placing his
Hermes datapad on the table, pushing it toward Julliette. "Feel free to
confirm what I've told you. It's all there. Still interested?"

[GM: Yes, that's a good way to roleplay it.]
