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."

She gave him a bit of an evil eye from her position on the desk, although if she could point it at an internal combustion engine, she could. "I don't like engines. I never have." She relented. "Okay. So Garibaldi's motorcycle was kind of cool. But it didn't really run on internal combustion, because most of the engine got swapped out with a powercell. So I return to my original statement."

Duo's interest has been piqued. "Powercell, huh? That's cool! My Gundam's got somethin' like that, but also plenty of engines for other stuff, too. He make the cycle from scratch, or just swap out the engine as a modification?"

"He did build it from scratch. He was squirreling away parts for years before he actually built the thing. And he would have built the original engine, but Lennier - a Minbari, very Zen and environmentally conscious - was helping him and put the powercell in instead."
