Hover Boarding Part 3

“ Welcome everyone to your first day here. I am Colonel Dan Taylor But you will refer to me as Colonel or sir.” The Colonel had a very militaristic attitude but maybe that was just how he was on the first day.
“ This is a place,” the Colonel continued, “ where if you suck your out and if you’re good you stay. This type of hover boarding is very different then many other versions of the sport. The basics of getting shot by lazar guns are still in. But in this game, there are no rules only goals.”
At that both Antonio and Vincent perked up, and for two different reasons. Antonio liked where this speech was going so he tried to gleam every single fact, implied or not, from what the Colonel was saying to get an advantage. Vincent listened and soon became concerned for him and his Friend’s life.
“ There is only one goal in this game,” continued the Colonel, “ you have to get from point A to point B without getting eliminated. You get eliminated you leave and will never come back.” Vincent got uneasy at that but he didn’t understand why. He shook it off.
“ What you have to do to reach that goal, that is none of my concern.” Vincent thought that was why he was becoming uneasy but it was not only that.
“ Now in order to weed out the best of the 50 of you, the first race will be today at noon. A total of 26 of you will be eliminated today. Good luck to you all.”
Antonio was psyched to race and Vincent’s nerves were calmed by anticipation, for now.
