Hot Girl Summer
The Knights of The Round Inter-metropolis Hyperloop
2/23/2072
Lloyd had become insufferable in the recent years. Following a new breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence, his penchant for Droid women soon became a penchant for the virtual. You know the saying, don't defecate where you eat? Lloyd came to me last year desiring we place Otto, our virtual assistant, with his new AI wife, Ottelie. In truth, the two were a perfect match. Both sardonic. The verbal sparring matches were, in truth, an art form. Never the less, our 3-person staff became one-sided at time. Not because the two agreed, but beacuse they always disagreed and I was the tiebreaker. Gillelland left the scouting staff a couple years ago to raise his family on Tranquility, which reminded me of Sarah and the girls. In truth, I couldn't be prouder of them. Marisa moved from Europa to Triton, where she's heading up research on Ice Volcanoes, which is way cooler than it even sounds here. Kasey and her husband are raising what is a rather large family on Titan -- apparently the Methane gets people breeding faster than most other colonies. If only they'd return my calls...

GN: Users YC, P3P, and JAUG exit three hyperloop pods. Nearby, overlooking the Atlantic coast, a couple appears to be arguing while a stoic foreigner smokes a cigar on the balcony
OTT: "You are insufficient for our team! All you want to do is live out the glory days, and according to my calculations, that is not good enough!"
LC: "My dear, there is nothing, nothing I say! Wrong with the glory days! Why, you should've seen me. Back then you had to work to have a body like mine! I was a champion and everyone knew it."
OTT: "Yes, and my calculations estimate that, were you born two decades prior, you would have an 80% probability of early death, by disease of the heart, or of the venereal variety."
LC: "And you would not have met me my dear!! Thus is the fate we are living out. This is what life is about. A beautiful view, and my favorite people."
ENQ: "Your favorite people are your AI wife, and your Swedish Hall of Famer?"
LC: "Linus my friend, of course! Who was Napoleon without Lafayette and Josephine? Caesar without Antonius and Calpurnia?
ENQ CHUCKLES
P3P: "Your King has arrived!"
YC rubs his temples
JAUG: "You know Mister Cane, when you drafted me in Istanbul all those years ago, I never expected to end up smoking my country's cigars with the cast of a, how you say, slapstick comedy show"
YC: "Believe me, I didn't either. I don't think Tomas ever called himself King."
P3P: "But did he ever save a city?"
YC: "He saved a state. Baseball is electric in Texas with him and McBride moving back home."
OTT: "Gentlemen, I predict a higher rate of success if we quit the witty banter and plan for this next season. I calculate that our acquisitions will lead to a higher probability of a win percentage over .500, which should ensure we keep the revenue flowing and promote a winning culture."
LC: "You know what we need to keep the revenue flowing?"
YC: "No I gotta stop you there Lloyd. We are not doing a 7th inning droid women show. Children attend our games."
LC: "I saw that kinda stuff growing up here all the time, and I turned out alright!"
ENQ: "If you two are done, I have an idea. One more acquisition for our lineup that will turn this team around. It'll be costly, but I have my contacts on the west coast."
LC: "Oh don't tell me! Babe, we're going to Vegas!"
OTT: "Given past excursions to Sin City, I predict with 95% certainty that we will lose Lloyd Carr to another Death Valley Hyperloop incident."
YC: "Alright Enquist. We're all here, and we can be there in about an hour with the Hyperloop. Tell me what you got."
P3P: "YES!! Sale Pitch time! Come on everyone, you all will be my Knights! The Knights of the Hyperloop!!"
YC RUBS HIS TEMPLES
