We have a bit of a turn divergence here. This post doesn't integrate my
last contribution
from yesterday, included below:

Chance laughed, loud enough that everyone in the room to looked over at the
pair.

"Oh yeah, 'Fastlane', right? He was a big name out there when my dad
made the first 'Duelist' trid. I think he's one of the reasons the
studio was interested in the Redliners. What's he like in person?
Have you dealt with him?"
[? This fits with below, if you don't want to add anything.]
[I have a little bit.]
"I've only met him briefly." Terry nodded, "The best parallel I can draw
is that he's a meat 'n potatoes trucker with the ship anchor tattoo on
his bicep. I'm betting with his longing for gear racing and his
comeback he'll be in the zone from the get go. My instincts tell me
he'll be a good team leader too."
>> "One way to break the ice with any pilot is to mention you've heard

"Kinda like us trideo guys and our movies, right? Mention something of ours
you've seen and we'll drool all over you," Sebastian said, grinning.
"Absolutely." Terry thought for a second, "You know, instead of talking
about the team, how about we head over to the Bulwark and watch them do
their trials?" He took out and glanced at his Palm, "Even if we rushed
they'll have started by the time we get there. We can see them in action
and I can introduce you to everyone afterward. I figure if we burn some
rubber we may make the first pit stop. Whadday say?"
