2 - WITNESS ME, FLEET
Who: Nux and the poor, poor SS Red Fish
Broadcast: FLEETWIDE
Action: On the bridge of the Red Fish
When: August 1st, immediately following the shuffle
[Action]
[A few people had told Nux that he would be placed on a ship soon, but he's still not prepared for it when he's suddenly plucked from the Marsiva to arrive in some other place with music in his ears and something soft and fluffy -- paper, he realizes -- showering over him. Some had told him that he would get a chance to drive it, but that doesn't in any way dampen the overwhelming rush of excitement he feels when he realizes that the room has a windshield, looking out over an expanse of sand, and a driver's seat, and a set of controls he realizes he knows how to use.
He doesn't even notice the chocolate.
A few minutes later, there's a loud whoop from the bridge, and suddenly the Red Fish goes rocketing forward and into the air, soaring away from the planet at top speed.]
[Video]
[Furiosa! he realizes belatedly. If she doesn't know about this, she needs to. If she does, then why didn't she tell him??? Either way, he fumbles his communicator out of his utility belt with one hand, slaps it on the dashboard, and switches it on, broadcasting fleetwide. He grabs the controls with both hands and whoops again.]
Imperator Furiosa! Furiosa! Have you seen this? This is way shinier than a war rig!
[He laughs manically, eyes gleaming bright as the blue sky starts to dissipate into night in front of him. The ship kicks just a little faster as the fuel starts to burn away.]
I am the man who grabs the sun!

Warboy. What's your heading?
[She's running through her ship to throw herself into place, chucking the device on the dash and hoping it landed right. Thankfully she'd spent enough time familiarizing herself with the controls earlier that getting the First Breath into a pursuit wasn't too much of a struggle. Certainly not what she had been planning for today.]
no subject
It's up!
[He glances over, just long enough to see her at her controls.]
Are you gonna ride out with me?
no subject
[Shit. Okay, fine, she need to get familiar with the navigation settings anyway. The nub of her left arm anchored around the steering controls, she punches in brings in the console to try and track the Red Fish as a target. While her augment is supplying her with the right idea on where things are, muscle memory fur this kind of thing hasn't been built up yet. It feels clunky and inefficient and it's frustrating her on a whole new level.]
No. Just ensuring you turn the rig around and park it.
no subject
[He shoots another glance her way, totally incredulous. Furiosa, why are you not enjoying how completely awesome this is with him? He gives a rebellious little shake of his head and looks back out on the stars, grinning to himself.]
This is pure octane!
no subject
Do you have any idea how much guzzoline you're wasting right now?
no subject
[But then something bangs hard into the back of his seat and he whips around.]
Coil!
[He twists to talk to him, Furiosa momentarily forgotten.]
no subject
It might go well and it might end horribly. She's bracing herself for either ending.]
