"Well the 3D isn't exactly the model of fair play but it's getting
better..." Keavy thought back to her last video letter from her parents.
"...well last year it was getting better before the high Commissioner was
brought to court. I don't know about this year. I spent a good part of my
younger days racing on that circuit and parading before the press, so maybe
I'm a little desensitized to it. Then again no one dared to shoot at us.
We had really big and scary corporate security guards."
The girls thoughts drifted and her voice quieted. "But out here...on my
own...I feel a little exposed...without all the security. I'm sure that the
Colonels security is okay but they haven't really performed so well
recently. Before we joined the Redliners, Terry, Rhogen and I were just a
small team with one gear and we were beneath everyones notice. Since we
joined the Redliners we've been shot at almost every day. How can people
live like this? How do you handle this?"

"You're just pacing yourself to dance with the next hottie." Keavy teased
as she took his arm. She wasn't going to let some negative thoughts ruin
this evening. "Lead on then good Sir. Dancing with Keavy wasn't so bad
now, was it?"
