- | The force of the acceleration was unreal, Robert forced back into his seat as Delta let loose the power of her ride. Watching the world fly by, the music cranked up to high, on the train it was calm and kinda sad, here it was a rush, a trip of excitement and joy he couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as the speedo climbed. Delta was having just as much fun, Foot to the floor only letting off briefly to force the clutch in and slam the next gear into place before undoing her pedal movements and the roar of the engine started its pitch journey again. 3rd, 4th, then 5th. Everything was flying past them unable to catch them only thing that mattered right now was holding the steering wheel steady and keeping the empty road in front. 6th gear, 7th gear. The world is a blur of light as Robert’s senses are swallowed by speed and music. only thing keeping time is the beat, Everything seemed to vanish for Robert.

They seem nice and inviting but make no mistake they are made for one reason only, to control. | Delta’s positive vibe was squashed as the road officially entered the city, passing by towers of glass and metal stretching high into the sky.

Ground floor were the giants started their assent into the sky above. Looking up felt like the towers were warping over you, ready to swallow everything whole in cold metal and blinding colour. \\ Robert got to see a familiar sight with regular suberbian streets. People walking around, shops, bars, alleys it was all here. The car slowed down to a snail’s pace compared to earlier, many onlookers giving |

+ | They spent the next hour at least looking around this section of city. Delta showed Robert some of her favourite hang out points. Some good bars, Hotels and more importantly part spots, places to buy repair parts, weapons, gadgets and even some well known mod mechanics. It was definitely the same but different.
