On possibly being sent to Mask or Menace

[schrodingersghost]

Just what I needed. Another working vacation.  Did you see how many ghost hunters are hanging out around there?  

But as long as I'm there....

[Danny suddenly looked much more cheerful]

I do get to go visit Cape Canaveral, right?

The only thing I'm interested in are the bikes. And a specific person.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny blinks. Bikes? What a weird priority.]

But what about the space shuttle? he was kind of hoping it didn't try to eat him this time.

[maglevflash]

Space shuttles are cool and all, but not exactly my area of expertise.

No, I want to get my hands on the tech and see just how fast it can go.

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, what kind of tech are we talking about here?

[maglevflash]

Functioning hover technology. Whatever is in that could very well be the key to what mine is missing.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny shrugs.]

Oh, that. I guess hover tech isn't common back home, but its around.

[maglevflash]

It certainly can't beat electromag suspension, but we haven't made a whole lot of progress on it in San Fransokyo either, not very realistic yet as a functional mode of transportation, but apparently this "game" has had it for a number of years.

If I can dismantle it, I can rebuild it. And then I can improve it.

[schrodingersghost]

Um, San Fransokyo? Where's that?

[maglevflash]

Upper mid-California? Right off the gulf. [Doesn't everybody know that?]

[schrodingersghost]

...That sounds like San Francisco.

[maglevflash]

The hell is San Francisco?

[schrodingersghost]

Um, a city? In California? Where you said?

[maglevflash]

Yeah, except there's no such thing. Might have been it's name before the war, but it's San Fransokyo now.

[schrodingersghost]

Um, what war are we talking about?

[maglevflash]

[Blank stare.]

WWII? What kind of world are you from if you don't even know that?

[schrodingersghost]

That was like sixty years ago. [Danny makes a face.] If we're talking name changes I thought it would be something more recent.

[maglevflash]

Yeah, no. If it happened in my lifetime, it would have been all over the news and everyone would still be adjusting.

San Fransokyo's the way it is because of the war. I can't even imagine what it would be otherwise.
