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?

[curenotcutie]

It really does look to be an exciting place!

[schrodingersghost]

The space center is there. [Danny grins.] How could it be anything but exciting?

[maglevflash]

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.

[daddyphantom]

Hate to say it, but as awesome as Cape Canaveral is? It's not worth the constant government supervision. Or the fact that they're still dealing with the Cold War.

...My mun considered putting me at your age there for a bit when it first opened up.

[schrodingersghost]

Oh wow, this is kind of freaky.

[He shrugs.]

Point taken. But hey, if I can't get out of it I might as well take advantage of the one good thing about it.
