Driver's Ed, Jan 25th (7th period)

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop is once again set up to look like a standard classroom. Once it's time for class to start, Tommy begins the lecture:

"In order to fully understand the vehicle you're going to be driving, I think it's important to understand how it works." Tommy says, and then delivers a lecture on automobile combustion engines.

"Any questions?" He asks. "Next week, we'll be discussing rules of the road, and the week after that, we'll start doing *real* simulations. I trust that's the part everyone's been looking forward to?" he asks the class with a wink. "Your homework is to look over the Virginia Driver's Manual in preparation for next week."

"I can't," Ivanova said plaintively. "Students aren't allowed outside of atmo and I have no ground transport."

"Neither can I," says Archie. "I don't have a boat of my own."

"Hence the driving lessons," Ivanova replied. "So I can do something besides fly those sims Anakin sets up at flight club. I should have flown more when I actually had a ship."

"Damn. There goes an possibly interesting experience." Togusa propped his head up on his chin.

"There's always flight sims," Ivanova replied semi-brightly. "If Flight Club ever gets off the ground again, there should be some set up." She paused and groaned. "Pun not in any way intended."

Togusa snickered. "Nothing beats the real thing though. Flight sims might be good, but I like the feel of the machine more."

Ivanova nodded. "I never realised how much I liked flying until I couldn't any more. And even in the sims the machines are weird. I don't like this continual burn thing that everyone except us seemed to have developed." She shrugged. "But hey, here we are talking about flying in Driver's Ed."
