Hmm… is this… working?

Here ya loud and clear

Yes! … I thought it’d never work properly.

Radios can be a pain in the ass. Mine breaks at least once a year

I’m usually quite good at fixing them- this one’s just getting old… I think

If I wasn’t so worried about tracking devices I’d see about nabbing a drac’s radio and jailbreaking it. Just to give me something newer.

I could take one apart to see if I can remove the tracker?

They don’t make it that simple. Blind radios live update their locations. If the actual tracking device is tampered with, an alarm signal is sent to the last transmitted location.

I’ve also heard word saying the radios have backup trackers. So even if you get the first one, you may not find the second. Or even maybe third.

Must be a new thing. All the ones I take apart only ever have the one if they actually have one…

Hopefully. I’ve found you can never be too safe. Or maybe im just paranoid.

Sometimes you have to be paranoid. Keeps you alive… not so much thriving though.

I just don’t fuck with a lot of blind technology. Helps the paranoia

Makes sense. I just like fixing things…

Some things don’t wanna be fixed. Learned that the hard way.

I’m still learning.

Just…take it easy. Try and learn it from the simple things.

Can anyone explain to me why Nickelback actually kinda kicks ass??

It’s such good music to play at the track. Redd and I always sneak it into the play queue, no matter how many people shit on us for it.

Hell yeah! Also you race?? :D Im trying to get into that scene! Still working on stealing a bike tho...

Nah, I don’t race. I’m a mechanic. From time to time.

Anyone got any side quests to do?

is it jus’ me or is it way hotter than usual in zone three at the minute?

I think there’s a front coming through. Should get an acid rain storm soon. Or maybe just thunder.

I don’t fuckin’ know, I’m just talkin’ outta my ass here

Tryin’ to walk more lately. My legs hurt. Gettin’ easier, though.

You're doin' plenty. Better t' pick battles than be reckless an' dnd up Ghosted.

I don’t know how I’ve gotten this far and done so little to help the fight

Helpin' ain't jus' killin'.

I know…

Progress is progress, even if 's jus' one step forward...learned tha' th' hard way.

Just hope I don’t get pushed back again. I still don’t go farther inward than zone two if I can help it.

'M sure ya won't.

Not gonna bet on it. Only the witch knows.

I guess so...

The longer I live the more hardship’s I’ll face. That’s just how it works

Gotta keep goin' as always. Things'll work out.

I think they will. Sooner or later.

Have ya convinced yourself o' that entirely? Y' seem slightly uncertain.

Well, one day blind will fall. That’s just how powerful things work. Doesn’t matter so much if I’m dead or alive to see it. Although it would be cool to see it happen.

It would be...'s gotta end some day.

It will. I wish I was doing more to help. I just don’t know how anymore. Things have felt really disorganized

Has it? 'Ve been kinda on and off th' waves. Wha' can ya do right now?

I’ve gotten alright at shooting targets from a distance. I’ve got good eyes. Haven’t ran into dracs for a couple weeks, though. Probably for the best as I’m running alone.

Yeah, stay low fer now. Lone dracs're good t' get back into it when yer ready.

I handle them when I see em. I bet they’ve been getting picked off before they reach zone five. Plus things aren’t as busy in the north and west quadrants as they are in the south and east.

Good for ya. I know we try an' get 'em when we see 'em in three.

And items much appreciated. I’ve heard of some people killing them for sport so I wonder if they just got really good at the game or something

For sport...?

Yeah, came across this crazy bitch a while ago. She kept like a tally or something

Oh...can I ask who?

Name’s Bea Sting. I only recognized her because she and her crew are banned from the crash track for blowing up some dude’s bike.

Ah...lil impulsive? 'Kay...

I just don’t understand how people can be like that

I don't fully either...based on profile's somethin' t' do wit' emotional responses an' fulfillment, or seekin' thrill

As long as she doesn’t come around the track and doesn’t kill any ‘joys, I couldnt care less. She’s not the only one like that.

Makes me feel like I’m not doing enough, though

People should start painting their radios and personalizing them. I think that would be pretty shiny.

Who doesn’t?
