Tales of the Courier – One With the Road
On the road again. There is an old saying about the best road being an open one. 1courier is glad this one is open as the miles shoot past. This ride is exceptional in its handling. The instruments of the ride’s dashboard are calm as they barrel down the highway.
This is when the strange thing usually happens. He subconsciously braces for a hit. However, no hit comes as they continue down the highway. Furthermore, he doubts if the fates were holding back, just to pounce later.
With this in mind 1courier floors the accelerator pedal. Time to make some time. There would be no way to avoid the upcoming drop-off. Thanks to the hitchhiker shock troops this ride was a must do. He watches the road rush forward to greet them.
One With
Keeping in mind the time limit he decides to check out the features of this machine. After all they are to be partners for the immediate future. They are connected. Two peas in a pod. He grins, this was going to be fun.
He decides to let the machine drive itself for the first half of the journey. This is a chance to see if there is a way to sever the link before they arrive. Furthermore, he knows that continued ignoring of HQ was complicating matters.
However, nothing could be done about that, at the present. He toggles the on-board view screen. It flashes bright cheerful colors and a few logos. He really hadn’t known what to expect. The technology in this world changes at such a rapid pace.
It is important to find out how deep this connection with the ride is embedded. Furthermore, he knows the strange shock people wouldn’t kid around. Why hassle a courier otherwise? The m-com link fires up, HQ was impatient. 1courier has no choice but to ignore it at the moment.
The Road
The screen is trying to get his attention. They are going to crash. He is a little relieved that the strange thing was finally happening. He wasn’t happy about the crash, though. The screen flashes bright and urgent. Now 1courier grins. The message on the screen is blatant but direct. “Take the wheel asshole.”
Furthermore, he begins to think this connection might have potential, as he grabs the wheel.
Up ahead the road has become a wall of heavy freighters. Furthermore, 1courier and the strange ride are moving too fast. He slams the brakes and the machine breaks loose, and power slides. He grins, certain he’s about to become one with the road.
