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 pilot it, but it does have A.I. Little thing can take quite a beating, but I prefer to keep it intact," He said, raising an eyebrow. "It has a motherboard in it, some other enhancements, but I can communicate with it directly with this," He yanked out a plug to show and let it snap into place.

"What about you? What do you use?"

"Woah, dude." Duo says, eyeing the plug and not bothering to hide his wide-eyed interest. "Wicked. A.I., huh? Man, closest I've been to somethin' like that was this wack-job system that took over your brain and made ya go nuts." He shakes his head at the memory. "Yeesh."

"Me?" Duo grins widely. "Gundams, man! Mobile Suits all the way. You can program 'em to do stuff like move about a bit, but piloting's what they're all about. I'll pilot a ship if I gotta, but they sure ain't my first choice." He laughs. "Nothin' beats a 60-foot suit with a 40-foot energy beam scythe."

"Whack job system? Me or the tachikoma? I only have a few enhancements to my eyes and ears, and I can connect to the Internet from anywhere like this. The tachikoma has A.I. because someone gave them natural oil. They devoloped it from that."

He gaped a bit. "60 foot suit? Remind me to never get into a fight with one of those. The tanks are tough, but they couldn't handle that kind of machine."

Duo shakes his head. "No, no, not you guys, dude. This Zero system I had to deal with back home. Developed A.I.? Woah. That's way beyond what I'm used to."

Duo nods excitedly. "Exactly the point, man! Gotta get the Earth government to listen to us, somehow!" He laughs. "Those tanks are pretty cool, though I'm sure I wouldn't know half the stuff they're made of!"

"Earth government?" Togusa was a little perplexed. "Well, I guess we do come from different fandoms, so I'm not sure about yours, but we are pretty together where I come from."

*Ka-Shink*

Togusa twitched slightly, only a well trained eye could have seen it. "My tachikoma might beg oil off you, but I'd rather show you prints than see him dismantled. The boss back home is already thinking about it." He looked around and rubbed his neck again. Gotta leave. See you around!" He waved and ran back to his dorm room.

Duo's eyes go wide. "Prints? Really? Cool!" He watches Togusa take off. "Catch ya later!"
