Daigoroh. The kid takes after his old man. Ten years old and he's already one of the best damn F-Zero pilots in the business.

Your ten year old son is a pilot? What is this--the future where kids grow up too fast?

[Private]

[hageshii]

No, it's the future where everyone is jerks. Didn't we just go over that?

[Private]

[herotypical]

Ten year olds shouldn't be piloting things. That's so...wrong.

[Almost as wrong as sixteen year olds having to knowingly march to their deaths because of some lame prophecy.]

[Private]

[hageshii]

He's only piloting a racing machine. Of course, it's only in the range of 1500 kilometers an hour, racing against some of the bloodthirsty scum in the galaxy to net the biggest amount of prize money you can get.

Perfectly safe. Hell, I've even ran him off the track a few times.

Wait a second--are you insane?

[Private]

[hageshii]

The Grand Prix has so many damn safety protocols now that it ain't anything like it was before Dai was born. He's fine. It ain't like the good old days when people used to get killed all the time.

And I can't believe I'm saying this but, guess what? Now I'm actually glad for that whole mortal coil thing. Sounds like a sucky future.

[Private]

[hageshii]

Only cuz you ain't seen it. The place is fun as hell.

[Private]

[herotypical]

Okay, common misconception? Hell's not actually that fun.

[Private]

[hageshii]

Clearly. One of the other pilots came back from it to keep racing.

[Private]

[herotypical]

Well, doesn't he sound like a peach.

[Private]

[hageshii]

More of a reanimated skeleton powered by black magic. But your description is more flattering. Let's go with that.

[Private]

[herotypical]

Okay, that sounds really gross. Like, zombie levels of gross.

[Private]

[hageshii]

He's not a bad guy once you get to know him.
