Script[edit]

Heart-to-Heart[edit]

Al
(sfx: "Heya!")
Oh, hey buddy.
Sorry to spring it on ya, but... Are you into cars at all?
Show Interest
Say that you are a little curious.
Al
Hah, I knew it! I can spot a fellow gearhead from a mile away!
Answer Truthfully
Admit you don't really know much about them.
Al
Hm, really...? Oh well. I guess there's no accounting for taste.
Brag
Claim to have had a steam-powered car.
Al
Hot damn, steam-powered? You know, they say that was the first mechanized vehicle in the history of humanity...
...No, wait—why would you have had an antique that belonged in a museum...? You can't have been that rich!
Al
Anyhow, reason I ask is, I love cars. Can't hide it—always have, always will.
Don't get me wrong, I like speeding along in a souped-up race car as much as any guy, but my heart belongs to the classics.
Ever since we shifted over to EVs, people have been looking at classic automobiles like they're fossils, and gas is pricey too...
But I'll never forget the road trips I took in my favorite ride, cruising up and down the Pacific coast...
...Obviously, the ride in question is gone now, along with the rest of the Earth...
There's cars in NLA too, but I hear they restrict the number of licenses to limit traffic... Don't that just beat all?
Suggest an Alternative
Propose taking a road trip in a vehicular Skell.
Al
You mean, drive a Skell around like it's a car...? Hmm, not a bad idea.
I suppose in a sense it IS a car. ...An armored, amphibious, hover-car.
I have been thinking I'd like to see more of this crazy planet, since I haven't been here for very long yet...
All right, it's settled. Let's go drink to the conception of the first Trans-Miran-Coast-to-Coast Pan-Continental Rally Tour!
And you came up with it, so you'd better believe you're taking it with me!
Console
Say he'll be able to recreate it one day.
Al
Recreate it, huh...? Hm, for sure, data banks in the Lifehold might have info on old vehicles, too...
Although...even if I did manage to build it, it'd be a new machine in an old-looking shell, not the real thing...
The real magic of a classic car is in feeling the history that it lived through.
It's like an old pair of leather boots, worn and distressed into a sublime softness... You follow?
Heh. I wonder if you do get it... Still, I know you were trying to cheer me up, so thanks for that.
Hey, if you're okay with it, you mind if we talk about cars some more?
I think you could get into it, if you just got the chance to.
After all, the best thing about having a hobby is being able to share it with others.
