Surging Lightning

1 - Sakihama, day

Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Really? That sounds great!

[Ashe clicks her communicator off, smiling]

Guys! Know what? That trip to the Amazon wasn't useless! Master Thomas told me the Legion techs actually pulled something out of the computers in Albert's repeater base! They're tracing it now. Could take a few weeks, 'cause apparently that signal was bounced off more places than a basketball, but we'll know where it came from.

Oh gosh, finally some progress! Seriously, I thought we'd have to dance to Albert's stupid music forever.

You and me both, Model A. But now, between the Avian Empire and this, I think this calls for victory icecream.

2 - Star Rose, outside

[Another thing Ashe had on her bucket list was go into space. As in, really go into space, not just in a space station. And so she's managed to convince you to find and, ahem, borrow without permission some of the space suits the maintenance workers of the Star Rose use for repairs. And she is currently cartwheeling in space, using the maneuver jets to spin around at probably unsafe speeds while laughing]

Hahahahaha wheeeee! Zero-G is amazing!

Come on, let's go poke at Asagi's window and scare him!

Only one way to know!

Want me to fly you there? It's probbaly going to be a pretty long walk on those magnet shoes.

[herodrawing]

He he, no need for that. Here's something else Suruga told me about.

[Izuru is making his way across the station's hull - towards something that looks like a security railing, barely jutting out of the metal surface.]

[booty_chaser]

[Ashe follows, flying with her space suit]

What's that, some kinda monorail?

[herodrawing]

Monorail? Kinda but there's no train. Suruga said it's what tech crews use to transport equipment that's too unwieldy to push around even in zero G.

The rail is magnetized so if I just do this...

[Izuru deactivates his boots and clasps the spacesuit to the rail.]

Here I gooooo!

[And suddenly he accelerates quickly!]

[booty_chaser]

Nice! Alright, Model A, let's not get left behind!
Wait what-

[And Ashe hits her own thrusters, chasing after Izuru while maneuvering in Zero G. It's a race now!]

[herodrawing]

Ashe's in the race too? I need to make this thing go faster! Or she'll catch up to me!

[Izuru considers his options and, still moving forward, starts to climb up on the rail. Time for some grinding action!]

[booty_chaser]

[Better put some effort there, Izuru, because Ashe is hot on your heels!]

Ah, dangit, these things can't go any faster?

[herodrawing]

Sure they can! There's no friction here so it's all about geh!

[End of line! The rail ends so Izuru falls off it. Except he's still clipped to it so instead he just dangles at the end, flailing.]
