Tales of the Courier – It’s a turnkey operation
He wakes up behind the wheel. This is normal and confusing. He remembers performing an amazing acrobatics show, before landing badly. He looks around the interior of the ride. Then he checks the rear view mirror. Only it’s gone. Blown out, just like the doors. He grins, and regrets it immediately.
Thirty minutes later and he has managed to set both doors back in place. It isn’t pretty, but it would keep the weather out. He might want to avoid any hard hitting potholes though. Once back in, he sets up the m-com link. With a quick scan of the dangerous coin he gleans enough GPS data to have the pickup location. He grins. Tech was game changing.
With this in mind, he checks the m-com link for additional coordinates. However, he is stuck with this single dispatch board delivery. The data from the coin has him moving East from his current location. Therefore, he would be returning to the main road. He checks the recently reinstalled rear view mirror. It is time to go.

The trip back to the main road is brief and night has fallen. The road is dark and winding. It runs off into the night horizon. 1courier watches the lines of the road zip by. Although the data on the dangerous coin had been limited, it had still contained some useful info. Mainly, where the pickup would be.
That was two thirds of every delivery, knowing where the pick up was located. Although he is using a rough version of courier math, he thinks it will wash. He grins. This was starting to have potential. He holds the ride steady, as it barrels down the highway.
The night traffic thickens closer into the city. It isn’t long before all the traffic is moving blisteringly fast, in a closely knit group. With barely a few inches between each vehicle, the pace is steady and rhythmic. Furthermore, the pickup was within range.
From the close quarters driving, it is easy to tell the majority of the traffic is AI controlled. Furthermore the pace is rapidly accelerating. 1courier pushes the old combustion engine for all its worth. They are doing well with keeping up. Even when the passenger door flutters and flies off, back into the traffic behind him.
Turnkey Operation
He isn’t worried just yet. Indeed, he still has one good door. The ride slams into a pothole and the one good door flies off. There is the sound of horns and squealing tires from behind him. The wind from the open compartment is extreme, and blows the rear view mirror off of the windshield. 1courier watches it swirl once on the seat, then fly out the door opening.
Now it is starting to look like this delivery may be a struggle. When the front hood of the ride rips upward and flies off, he is sure of it being a struggle. 1courier holds the wheel steady and floors the accelerator pedal. Best to get there quickly.
There is a loud bang and more of the ride distributes itself down the highway. At this point 1courier is sure he will be down to just the steering wheel soon. With this in mind, he isn’t surprised when the heavy freighter bumps the ride and sends it, and 1courier, off the road into the dark lands beyond…
