  Kiare takes the controls and is now piloting the swoop. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 1 - GOLDEN BEACH, CORELLIA >------------------------------------
From the starting blocks, three straight tubes stretch down the length
of the mock-up of Coronet's golden beach, either over the sand or the
cresting waves of the simulated ocean. Opposite the beach from the ocean is
a replica skyline, complete with the Avalon Towers building from Galactic
Dividend Square.
TUBE 1: Sand straightaway. Wide, free and clear. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU STATUS: OPEN
TUBE 2: Over edge of coast, sand and water. Occasional waves. (Medium)
DIFF: 15m BONUS: +3 SRU STATUS: OPEN
TUBE 3: Totally over water. Frequent waves. (Hard)
DIFF: 20m BONUS: +5 SRU STATUS: OPEN

Moralis pages: The scores are shown if you +swoop/look or whatever the command is. The score is DIFF: and then whatever. I can walk you through a race if you like. You paged Moralis with 'that would be great! I've only been here since Monday.'. <OOC> Jaren sits back to watchs. ;) Moralis pages: Okay. I don't know how to change track sections, so we can only do 1/6 of a race, but it should show you how it works. You paged Moralis with 'Um... +section <#>'. Moralis pages: Right. Each time there is a race, every player's score will be logged in SRU (swoop race units, i think), and whoever has the most SRU when the race is through in there grade, wins. This way players in different grades don't all have to race at once Moralis pages: So. Each section of track is separated into 1-3 paths (tubes on this track). Moralis pages: The higher the difficulty on the tube, the less likely you are to make it through without crashing but the more SRU you get. Moralis pages: In addition, each swoop has three speed settings. Again, the faster you go the more likely you are to crash but the more SRU you get for that section. Moralis pages: You with me so far? It won't all make sense until you try it, most likely. Long distance to Moralis: Kiare nods, "Makes sense to me." BC_FLS enters from the bay doors of the staging area. BC_FLS has arrived. <OOC> BC_FLS says, "sorry it took so long." <OOC> Moralis already started thuh thingy :P <OOC> Moralis says, "You can take over in just a sec tho :P" <OOC> BC_FLS says, "if you can handle it I will leave you to it..Kart is now RPing..." <OOC> From inside the SWOOP: Crimson Myst, Kiare is thinking that she should pose heading into section 1, choosing tube 1 and then 3/4 thrust... <OOC> Moralis says, "I got it then." Moralis pages: Alright. So at each track section, you'll pose which tube you're going into and what speed you're gonna use. Then you'll +s/thrust (or whatever the command is, I never remember the first half of swoop commands) and check your ground vehicle operation twice. Oh, you seem to know that :P <OOC> BC_FLS says, "I cna idle here if you need to ask quetion as I pause whn in RP with Kart so more likely to see things in this other window." Moralis pages: kiare Then you pose the results. Let's start a race now... You paged Moralis with 'okay.'. Moralis pages: Hm. Interesting page there. Right. Go ahead and pose, thrust, all that. Moralis pages: Advice, though. Always go faster than 3/4, especially if you're in the easy tube. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst heads the swoop into section one intending to take tube 2 at full speed and hope she doesn't kill herself.
SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst shifts gears and provides:

<SKILL> Kiare rolls a 26 for her GROUND VEHICLE OPERATION skill. An Excellent roll!
Moralis pages: Holy hellyeah on the first roll. You make it through fine, obviously, since you needed your maneuvering + your first roll to be higher than the difficulty for that tube. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst makes it through the tube cleanly traveling at a fairly good speed, no damage which seems to make her really happy. You paged Moralis with 'now what?'. Moralis pages: Sorry. I got two things going. Now I'll change the track section and pose for the announcer. Moralis pages: That wasn't cool. I miss anything? <OOC> Moralis says, "Hey, SRU is the second roll + the bonus from thrust + the bonus from the tube right?" <OOC> BC_FLS says, "yes, as long as you managed the man you get the bonus" <OOC> From inside the SWOOP: Crimson Myst, Kiare says, "I did really well on my rolls.". <OOC> BC_FLS says, "if you fail the man, you lose bonus AND you subtract the amount by which you missed the manouvre roll on top of the bonus loss" <OOC> BC_FLS says, "26...dont I wish Kart would roll like that ;)" <OOC> Moralis +shifted up to 4D+2 yesterday :P what an acheivement. Okay. So that's 30 SRU. <OOC> BC_FLS grisn aT moralis and rmeemer what that is like...I started with only 3d rather than 4d.. <OOC> From inside the SWOOP: Crimson Myst, Kiare has 5D on GVO. <OOC> BC_FLS says, "that would be why you roll 26 ;) *VMG*" And that's Kiare Quinn entering section two with 30 SRU! She's unscathed and looks like she'sloving it, and since I'm not trained in calling races we bring you now back to the action! Moralis pages: Good, now do the whole thing again. <OOC> Jaren laughs. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 2 - TIBANNOPOLIS, BESPIN >--------------------------------------
The track straightens and ascends before ending abruptly, a glowing
repulsor pad thrusting swoops over an open section of the track to one of
three tiered tube platforms. Variations cause the actual lift produced to
fluctuate from one swoop to the next. Artificially generated clouds float
through the air here, while the ground is decorated with the tops of
buildings to give the appearance of soaring high above Bespin's Tibannopolis.
TUBE 1: Lowest tube. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU STATUS: ALWAYS OPEN
TUBE 2: Middle tube. (Medium)
DIFF: 15m BONUS: +3 SRU STATUS: ALWAYS OPEN
TUBE 3: Highest tube. (Hard)

<OOC> BC_FLS chuckles! :) SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst heads into section two, Kiare has chosen tube two for this section as well and once more speeds in at full thrust. <SKILL> Kiare rolls a 25 for her GROUND VEHICLE OPERATION skill. An Excellent roll!
<OOC> BC_FLS's jaw drops and she becomes envious ;) *VMG* <OOC> Jaren says, "But she forgot to thrust. ;)" <OOC> Moralis says, "Didn't quite pull that off when he boosted his last roll last race. Thrust up." SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst shifts gears and provides:

<OOC> BC_FLS says, "this si true...it is the rolls I envy though...i am lucky to hit 20 on a roll.." Moralis pages: You make it through with ease. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst skims through the second section as easily as the first once more coming out undamaged. The announcer enthusiastically continues his play-by-play. "Quinn's having no trouble tonight, folks, as she gets past another tube with no trouble. She's headed into section three with a hefty 75 SRU! That's half of what track favorite Mora Rodriguez had by the end of the entire race!" The voice becomes muffled, apparently covering the microphone. "Whaddaya mean he's not the fave? Sure he is." The volume returns to normal. "Well, let's see how she fares at the halfmark." Moralis pages: All yours, kid. Thrust before rolling. And for God's sake take the hard tube next time. <OOC> Moralis says, "Alright, this is the bit where I forget. What's special about this one?" SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 3 - IRON TOWER, ARIDUS >----------------------------------------
The water fades away and is replaced by piping hot magma as the swoops
enter a landscape modeled after the Iron Tower area of Aridus. While the
first tube weaves around most of the danger, the second tube contains
volcanic peaks with steam rising from the tops, and the occasional flare of
molten lava and gasses sending showers of crimson through the air. The
third tube has the same volcanic peaks, but the ones here seem more active
and the track weaves mindlessly around in an unpredictable pattern with
sharp turns around open lakes of boiling magma. Not only that- within those
lakes lives a fierce Lava Dragon that spits magma at those who pass, hoping
to claim a victim.
TUBE 1: Wide track, loose weave, no lava. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU STATUS: OPEN
TUBE 2: Some turns, obstructions, moderate volcanic activity. (Medium)
DIFF: 15m BONUS: +3 SRU STATUS: OPEN
TUBE 3: Tight turns, heavy volcanic activity. Lava Dragon. (Hard)
DIFF: 20m + 20m BONUS: +10 SRU STATUS: OPEN

Moralis pages: Okay, all yours. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst heads into section three daring to try the extremeness of tube three and the dreaded lava dragon! Full thrust is the speed of choice for this round as well. <OOC> Jaren says, "Tis what I was thinkin too. :)" SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst shifts gears and provides:

"That's 109 SRU for Kiare Quinn entering the fourth section of this race! Not bad. Not bad at all." <OOC> Jaren says, "I would have hated the the repair... I mean medical bills! ;)" <OOC> Jaren ducks. <OOC> From inside the SWOOP: Crimson Myst, Kiare drives over Jaren.. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 4 - BEGGAR'S CANYON, TATOOINE >---------------------------------
The heat of the lava is replaced by heat generated from the glow of
two artificial sun lamps dangling above this portion of the track, pointing
down to give the full effect of Tatooine's native heat to the competitors.
The walls are designed to resemble the cliffs on either side of Beggar's
Canyon, and every so often, a terrifying shriek of a Krayt, the rumbling of
Bantha, or the distinct cries of Sand People can be heard echoing through
the area.
TUBE 1: Wide track, flat land, few obstacles. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU

SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst comes through unscathed for the fourth section in a row! Kiare is certain Jaren is over there in the front row ready to jump up and scream with joy. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 5 - GLACIER FIELDS, HOTH >--------------------------------------
The single tube splits at the far turn, where the weather takes a turn
for the colder, and the browns of the desert are replaced by the frigid
white of the ice fields of Hoth. Tube one skirts along the flat tundra. Tube
two serpentines through glaciers while being bombarded with snow. The third
tube cuts through a series of underground caves that are dark and winding.
Tube two contains an animatronic Wampa, while tube three cuts through the
territory of a live Wampa.
TUBE 1: Wide, clear, snowy. Few obstacles. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU STATUS: OPEN

Never stop :P" <OOC> From inside the SWOOP: Crimson Myst, Kiare says, "Well no one says that!". The announcer is more enthusiastic than ever. "Quinn STILL unscathed with 186 SRU as she heads into track six. Let's see how she fares against THE DIANOGA!" Bum bum bum! "Wait, who's this blonde idiot jumping and screaming in the crown? Someone do something about this guy! <OOC> Jaren tackles Moralis and beats. SWOOP: Ubrikkian Phantom-Q -- Crimson Myst ---< SECTION 6 - ANOAT CITY, ANOAT >-----------------------------------------
The end is near as three tubes join and separate into two as the icy
fields change into metal lined tunnels reminiscant of a planetary trash
disposal system. There is a constant level of murky brown water floating
about a meter deep in either tube. The first tube is straight and clear of
any major debris, but it is long as it wraps far around the center path to
the finish line. The second tube, while shorter and faster, is much more
narrow and is populated with debris and is infested with life. The tentacle,
or occasionally the eye, of a very alive, very real dianoga can be seen
peeking out at oncoming traffic. The two paths then rejoin and cross the
finish line.
TUBE 1: Wide, clear, long, few obstacles. (Easy)
DIFF: 10m BONUS: +0 SRU STATUS: ALWAYS OPEN
TUBE 2: Narrow tunnel, debris, Dianoga. (Very Hard)

Does that mean when you thrust you need that to come up as 15+ or is that after the roll for velocity and adding that?" <OOC> BC_FLS says, "you have to have a total velocity of 15 or better." <OOC> BC_FLS says, "so add the SRU and make sure it is greter than 15 ;)" <OOC> Jaren says, "Ok.
